6 Reasons People Stay In Bad Relationships

                 

        1. Fear of being alone
Sometimes we have irrational fear of being alone.Which in turn can keep us in relationships below our standards or harmful relationships.

       2. Low self esteem
For people who have low self esteem and belief in themselves being in an unhealthy relationship might be the only
option out of loneliness to them. Not knowing that being in such relationships are good enough reasons for never getting out of those thought patterns.

       3. Worthiness
People validate themselves from being in relationships. So your friend is getting married or your friend just got into an amazing relationship. So what? Life goes on no matter what is happening or not happening in your friend's life.
Do  not get your sense of worth from being or not being in a relationship more so an unhealthy relationship.

       4. Financial Security
This for me is mostly prevalent among females, you remain in a relationship with a man who can provide for your needs but does not value you. Please have a rethink

       5. Fear of the Unknown
Just plain fear. You are scared that you will be single again for a long period. You are scared that no one will love you again. You are scared that you are getting late and your life plans are not going as expected.

       6. Abuse
Nearly 80% of girls who have been physically abused in their intimate relationships continue to date their abuser.(Liz Claiborne Inc. study conducted by Teenage Research Unlimited; February 2005.)
Even though difficult to believe The prevailing image of “man as aggressor” or “men are stronger” leads to the common belief that he’s somehow “earned” his abuse by provoking his abuser. Other times, they fear – with justification – being ignored or mocked for “allowing” their partner to hurt them. In the popular portrayal of the henpecked husband, the man is frequently shown as being a weakling who’s incapable of standing up to his wife and thus “earns” his abuse as punishment for being so weak and unmasculine.
