5 Unhealthy Reasons Why Couples Stay Together

There are unhealthy reasons why couples stay together after their love fades away. Some reasons are selfish while others are meant to please others. Either way, they're stopping both members of the couple from reaching a higher level of happiness. If one of the following unhealthy reasons why couples stay together applies to you, then you should think about putting an end to the relationship.

1. DON'T WANT TO HURT HIM

One of the unhealthy reasons why couples stay together is because they genuinely care for their partner and don't want to hurt them. But it'll hurt your man more in the long run if you keep him around when you've lost your feelings for him. It's not fair to lie to him. Every moment spent with you is a moment he's losing out on finding someone new. End the relationship so that you can move on.

2. TOO COMFORTABLE

You might not want to be with your man anymore, but you're comfortable around him, so you stay. It's easier that way. Why go through the trouble of ending things just so you can waste your paycheck on new clothes to impress new guys and spend your lonely nights at a bar? Even if the single life is unappealing to you, it's something you'll have to deal with if you want to find the perfect guy for you. In the end, it'll all be worth it.

3. SCARED OF HIM

If you're scared that he's going to hurt you or himself once you leave, you need to handle the situation delicately. It might be difficult, but you need to get out of the relationship despite the possible consequences. If you're scared for your safety, break up in public place and get a restraining order if necessary. If you think he's going to hurt himself, contact one of his close friends or a family member. Fill them in on your worries and tell them to keep an eye on him.

4. SCARED OF BEING ALONE

The cuddling, kisses, and sex may be great. But if you're only staying together because you don't want to go back to having an empty bed, the relationship needs to end. Don't wait until you find a new guy to break up with the current one. It's inconsiderate and makes it seem like you need a man to survive. Besides, single life isn't so bad! You might enjoy it.

5.EVERYONE LIKES HIM

When your family brags about your boyfriend and your friends get jealous over him, it might be hard to let him go. If others urge you to remain in your relationship, don't let peer pressure get to you. They don't know your guy as well as you do and haven't seen how he acts when you're in private. Even if he is 'perfect', the chemistry might not be there. It's your life, your relationship, and your decision whether you should end things.

If you're dating for wrong reasons, I hope you consider ending things soon. 

P.s Just because i wrote this does not mean I'm in a Unhealthy or unhappy relationship, it's there to help others.

Till next time...
