Couples who try for years to mend a relationship that by all indications is doomed to break up are not that rare.

Everyone has their own reasons for being unhappy with their marriage. But the reasons that force them to be with someone they don't love are the same for everyone.

Experts have revealed what fears push people to remain faithful to doomed relationships.

Fears

Firstly, it is the fear of changes in life, that the usual way of life will be disrupted, some comfort will be destroyed. All this holds one back from decisive actions.

Secondly, the uncertainty is frightening, seeming more frightening than the existing connection.

Thirdly, it is loneliness. No one wants to spend the rest of their lives "cooking around" alone, but it is always easier to believe in the bad.

Fourthly, worries about the other half that was left behind. The model of upbringing, based on self-sacrifice, leaves its mark. Hence the worries about someone else's life and other worries.

Fifth, people are afraid that they will make the wrong decision and one day regret what they did.

Hopes

In such a case, one can only hope that one day everything will work out, that one will be able to endure it, that one will fall in love, and other similar circumstances.

Addiction

There are circumstances when someone must tolerate a partner due to certain conditions. For example, a woman who does not have her own home, or other reasons.

In such cases, experts advise seeking help from specialists. It is advisable to plan such visits together with your partner.

After all, then there might be a chance that the marriage can really be saved.
