Why Do We Stay In Relationships We Know Aren't Working?

Sometimes we know a relationship isn’t working long before we feel ready to leave it.

There may still be love. Good moments. Shared history. A life built together. And perhaps the hope that something will finally change.

In this episode:

→ Why loving someone and questioning the relationship can coexist→ Why we’re rarely leaving only a person→ How hope can keep us attached to what a relationship might become→ Why familiarity can feel safer than an uncertain future→ Why we sometimes wait for a “big enough” reason to leave→ The difference between knowing and being ready to act

I’m Reeta Kauppinen, a psychotherapist with 20+ years in mental health. Each week I explore the psychology behind modern dating and relationships.
