Why do people stay in unsatisfying romantic relationships? A new study suggests it may be because they view leaving as bad for their partner. The study, being published in the November 2018 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, explored the possibility that people deciding whether to end a relationship consider not only their own desires but also how much they think their partner wants and needs the relationship to continue.

Study that finds it's not just the investment of time, resources and emotion

    You know what's a clear sign of mental illness? A strange compulsive desire to ruin an otherwise good discussion forum by trolling. As you do.

    You, sir, are mentally I'll by any reasonable standard and your hypocritical blithe responses above on this thread about "oh yeah I get down modded sometimes..." are just proof of your denial of your mental illness.

    And then you -- Mr. "Pull Yourself Up By Your Own Bootstraps" -- who couldn't see compassion for another human being if your life depended on it... You dare to pontificate on "love," when you don't know the meaning of the word!? How dare you!!

    Seek psychological help soon. Seriously. I'm truly serious, because you're displaying personality traits of a sociopath.

    You really need to work on your definition of trolling. It's incorrect. It does not mean "saying something I don't want to hear".

      Obviously. Duh.

      Trolling does include being insincere in comments to get people worked up. Trolling is also related to flaming and generally just being a jerk.

      Things you do to ruin this site.

      Seek help soon. Seriously.
