A Great Mystery

Why do people stay in miserable relationships for so long and sometimes forever?

Great question! Some people do not even realize that they are miserable and because they have been at it for so long are unaware that there may be something better for them. Oh, they look out into the world and can sometimes see that others are involved in happy connected relationships but for whatever reason do not even begin to consider having that for themselves. Then there are some people who do consider the happy connected option and as quickly as they do so, they talk themselves out of the idea because that’s for someone else. Still others have their parents miserable marriages to blame for why they have ended up where they are. Then there are people whom can see the lovely option of choosing something different from what they saw in their own homes and what they know to be as a familiar pattern; and they make that great big step out of their heads and into their lives and go on to create a happy healthy relationship, first with themselves and then with others.
