Knowing whom to love and how to love a person can be simple but how then will many people stay in toxic relationships, unwilling to let it go, some resist and die in the relationship. Please may I know why people prefer the worst than the unknown.

People fear criticism more than anything. They'll rather suffer silently than make it known the relationship hudles that they are going through. Others hope for their partners to change with time which never happens.

There are many reasons why people stay together despite being unhappy and one of them is emotional attachment, which makes them worry too much about the stability of their relationships and fear change, they focus on an environment of toxicity without see beyond the unhappiness they may cause. without looking at other paths.

It depends on what situations are they in. If they are married with children, they remain in a relationship because of them. As for me, it is not a healthy thing to do.

There are several reasons why we stay in relationships that are not working, one of them is the habit, in fact there is a song that says:  there is no doubt that it is true that habit is stronger than love. So sometimes breaking up a relationship in which we are already used to, even if things are not going very well, challenges us to get out of our sentimental comfort zone.

Many prefer to stay in that comfort zone rather than takes the risk of being alone or trying something with someone new. :ermm:

Sometimes, it's the past holding them back, sometimes it's the hope for a better future with the person. Love goes a long way in our deciding choices in life. People tend to stay in a relationship they know is toxic for them because they do not know better or they believe they deserve it

Some people stay attached with people they love and things, they attached with people they love because they think that they can't live without them even if they hurt them , they think that this is love and they keep in that toxic relationship .but if they think wisely and give themselves a chance to cut contact and separate from these toxic people they will start to recover by days and they will know that they was wrong keeping in that relationship because it hurts more than they think.

Hope and love. That's why. When relationships start they are beautiful. Those are the happiest moments that we treasure. Once things change for the bad, those first moments are why keeps people going. The hope that that happiness we once experienced will happen again because the love that was felt at first is still the same.

Many say that love is blind that is why these things happen. Too much love for your partner even if it is not working anymore. Precise one or both of them is already hurt emotionally and physically either one of them still cannot move on from the bad situation or relationship they are going through. At times worse comes to worst before couples can separate for good and finally make up their mind about their bad relationship. This happens to those with unhealthy relationships but still, either or both of them are blind to the kind of relationship they have.

It might be because of this little word HOPE.

Most of the people don't want to end a relationship just like that and are always willing to suffer to give their partner that one last chance to prove it wrong that he/she will get better eventually if the other partner tries a bit harder.

But the one with the hope of making their partner realise the value of their relationship suffers the most in this process.

Some people do that mainly for unfinished jobs to scam the other person and take his or her money so that he or she can leave the other person broken and at pain this goes for both male and female partners.

Because they truly love their partner more than they are willing to let the relationship go therefore making them stay even if the relationship is not working.

People may stay in relationships they know aren't working for a variety of reasons. One common reason is fear of the unknown. People may feel safer staying in an unhealthy relationship than taking a risk on something new. Other reasons may include fear of being alone, fear of change, and difficulty leaving a familiar situation. People may also stay in relationships due to feelings of guilt or obligation, or because they are not aware of other options.

People continuously stay in a toxic relationship with the hope that things may change someday. Another class of people are the ones that don't have any option of leaving the relationship.

I think they have some love for each other so they can't leave each other and waiting for the best time to reunion. They have a great stamina to stay together with patiently and compromising continuously. Because time doesn't matter for them the best thing they are feeling both that is feel for one another. They know relation is more needed to healthy life and they are trying to reunion by sacrificing there time.
