Why do you stay in a relationship you’re not happy in?
I ask this question to get some more perspective on my situation. For context, i’ve (26-NB) been with my boyfriend (37-M) for almost 3 years now. We ended up getting pregnant a couple months into us sleeping together. And I pretty much just hope for the best since then. He’s not a terrible person. He’s not abusive although maybe emotionally manipulative. He’s a good dad, although he isn’t really with me on the same page about parenting. He used to have a pretty bad drinking problem. And he is not not very emotionally mature. He proposed to me a few days ago and I initially said yes because he was intoxicated at the time but the next day I told him I put the ring back in the box. There’s definitely a lot more details to the situation, but I didn’t feel it necessary for this question. But this is for people who are in long-term relationship, relationships or are married that are not happy or unsatisfied with their relationship. Why do you stay?
TD:DR; why do people stay in relationships they’re not happy with?
