kinseycy: I stayed with my husband because I believed in marriage. I thought forgiveness was a big part of that and that I shouldn't break my vows. In the end he left anyway and if I felt then how I feel now I'd have left years ago but hindsight is a wonderful thing!

Brad1983: What are the main reasons why we stay wih people who are not right for us and we know, it. I have been seeing this all too much lately.


Some good comments in my opinion; I think in many people they are very insecure; they either feel they can't live without this person or that they dont' want anyone else to have them.

I think some just get used to it and dont' want to take the time and energy to get into another relationship, so they just settle.

Many make bad choices and it's sad to watch.

bamabulldog08: Personally I dont, never have and never will. We always have other options and I would raher be alone than with the wrong person.

different scenarios, different individuals, different motivations.....easy to make the wrong assumption; I can tell you I have stayed too, out of pity.

There are levels of awareness on everything but with a relationship it is complicated with very strong emotions.

It's hard admitting that you need something from another person but often we do need the companionship, affection, support or what ever. We convince ourselves that the other person is giving us what we may not even admit we need or want. At the same time they are doing the same thing with a completely different perspective. Two people living two lies all with the very best of intentions and the expectation that the other person sees things exactly the same as they do.
