Why Do Some People Stay In Unhappy Relationships?

There is no reason to make yourself depressed, if some of the people are unhappy in the relationship. Marriage is actually another name of compromises, before getting married you see always good qualities of the person and even he tries to do everything which you like. But this is not the solution, you have to be the same as you were before. I can give some examples to people who say that we have changed because other partner also changed as well, they started demanding a lot into the relation,each person becomes so much sensitive that even the little things started irritating them and this cause fights and arguments.

After marriage a person should have guts to absorb so many things, after all life partner are meant to be the partner for the whole life not a bed partner or something like that.

At the end I would like to conclude that many of the relationships got failed and lead towards divorce because of patience, they get stick to what they think and what they feel. Give and take is the only tool to make your relationship successful.

I am unhappy, and the reason is none other and myself.  I think I got married 10 years ago thinking marriage was something that it isn't.  Now we have children and I don't want to break their hearts by me being selfish over how I feel.  They didn't ask for a mom and dad that we unhappy together.  I have no idea what to do or how to feel, but I feel a little guilty that I have let this snowball.

I think people stay in unhappy relationships for many reasons. One is fear! Fear of the unknown, fear of being alone, fear of change. Sometimes even if your in an unhealthy relationship its safer to stay in it because at least you know what to expect. The moment the pain of being in the relationship becomes stronger than the pain associated to leaving, then the person will leave because when confronted with two pains, people tend to go to the lesser one.

Because of fear also think they can not do better, they are shame to move from one relationship to another , I think that if you are in abuse relationship you should get out and save yourself the pain and suffering.

Well in my case its for the children. People that doesnt want to be together but stays together for the children sake
