This I know may seem like an age old question but I know that myself and a lot of other people have experienced this at least once in the past.. so I want to ask here at Mylot.. what you guys feel? What are your views on the following question? Why be with someone that makes you unhappy just because you love them??

I think that it is because people often hold on to the hope that their "love will change them." That things are going to get better. I think that people are sometimes afraid of change too. It could also be that they are tired and just don't want to start over again. I think that life is too short to be unhappy all the time. I will probably never seem "traditional" but I think that I will seem happy.

I guess you've answered the question yourself. You don't leave because you love them. And that you're willing to forsake your own happiness just for them. It would however make things better if you and those you love can address whatever issues there are that makes you unhappy. Maybe those issues could be resolved.

If someone makes you unhappy then you should move on as we only have one life so you might as well have a happy one, life goes fast so you should not waste it on someone who does not make you happy. You can still care about them and love them but look after yourself.

We all have good and bad qualities inside us so when we are with a partner we have to way up and see where the balance is. We could meet someone with fewer good qualities and be stuck with them. The grass is not always greaner on the other side. Have a great day from Deeeky

It is a really hard question I think but a very good one. Yeah, it is sad isn't? I do not think people or groups should stay together when there is abuse but abuse is measurable and can stop. Other than that, I really think we are responsible for our own happiness?
