People Who Don’t Love Each Other But Still Stay Together

Today, we delve deeper into relationships like this, which are much more common than you might even imagine. First of all, however, we suggest that you also consider whether or not it is worth staying in such a relationship.

The reason is low self-esteem

Many people who don’t love each other often stay together because they have very low self-esteem. This can be clearly seen in relationships based on emotional dependence.

When we have low self-esteem, we believe we cannot be happy if no one loves us, and thus we hand over this responsibility to our partner.

In addition, many beliefs have crystallized in our minds that only further lower our already low self-esteem.  Thoughts such as “ it’s already too late ” or that “if there is no partner, I have failed,” or that “finding love has its own deadline” favor such relationships.

If we have all these fears, it is natural that when we are in a relationship, we do not want to lose it. In addition, we think we won’t find anyone like that or that no one will pay attention to us again. Because of these fears, we will not make a decision to end the relationship.

So we want to share an interesting example of a man who dared to do so. At the age of 73, the famous writer Isabel Allende divorced her husband and never believed her life was over. By his own admission Allende has told: ” m inusta feel as if a new world had opened up in front of me.”

These beliefs limit us. There is no age for love and it is not the end of the world if we are left alone. Questioning all of this will allow us to enjoy greater freedom.

People who don’t love each other stay together because of the habit

Often those couples who don’t love each other stay together because of habit. This happens in a relationship where the couple has been together for several years, sometimes from a very young age.

They’re used to their lives, they even have the same friends, and they have a series of routines they wouldn’t want to give up. They think the difference could become a big problem. That’s why they choose to stay together even when they don’t love each other.

In some cases, however, there is another reason behind this practice. In many cases, couples stay together, for example, because one party is financially dependent on the other. An example of this is a relationship where one works and the other takes care of the housework.

In addition, one must understand other circumstances surrounding the divorce, such as the ability to pay for a lawyer and everything related to the divorce process, such as division of property and custody of children. For many couples, this process causes great laziness, so they choose to stay together despite not loving each other.

What are the benefits of this?

Instead of asking ourselves if such a relationship is worth the effort, we should ask ourselves if it compensates us for anything. Does it compensate us for staying together for the sake of children? Does it compensate us for staying together from laziness to divorce? Or to stay behind the scenes?

These are just situations among others where people who don’t love each other stay together. However, we need to keep in mind that if they decide to do so, it must somehow compensate them for something.

In a situation where the other is not happy with their partner, the only way out is the difference. If, in this situation, it is possible to get something in return, whether it is for convenience or to avoid a paper war or for other varied reasons, maintaining such a relationship can sometimes bring some kind of compensation for the situation.

Every person and couple is a world. However, we must keep in mind that we are sacrificing our own happiness and well-being. Have you ever been in a situation like this yourself? Do you know someone who has been in such a relationship? Would you be willing to sacrifice your own happiness for the reasons mentioned above?
