The power to stay through hell and high water seems to be embedded in the female DNA. With the exception of few females who won’t take no nonsense from their man. But whenever women find them selves in an unhealthy relationship, women often question what is making them stay. I’m sure psychologist have appointed “love” for being the reason women deal with men and their mistakes.
This may be true, but it has to do with more than just loving that person. It’s the feeling of not wanting to be alone, the aching reminder that our maternal clock is ticking, and the feeling of needing this person. Women are always so convinced that they need their man, when they actually don’t. You want him, maybe until next week, maybe forever.
If a person was to go from woman to woman, asking why women stay in unhealthy relationships there would be different reasons. There would be answers like settling, promising of change from their partner; there are children involved, and many other reasons. Whatever the reason may be, it seems that love isn’t enough to keep any relationship alive and healthy.
Staying with someone you really don’t want to be with can become a major mistake. In the end it will make you feel stuck. Down the line you wouldn’t want to regret staying with a person that didn’t make you happy. It’s entirely different if you’re trying to give him a chance to redeem his self, compared to staying and forgiving him after repeated, “mistakes.” They are no longer mistakes if it keeps happening.
Because women don’t mind giving the benefit of the doubt to their man, women slack off on telling their boyfriends how they feel. What about their behavior is bothering them. Women are so wrapped around the idea of “forever” and marriage that oftentimes we become afraid to speak up. All because women want that fairy tale ending so badly. No fairy tale should be worth your happiness.
