Even feeling unhappy in the relationship, people not in a hurry to finish, as evidenced by the data published on the website of the American psychological Association. These data refer to two studies conducted by experts from the US and Canada.
In them, scientists have tried to determine what reasons make people to stay in a relationship where they are unhappy. In the first project, which lasted ten weeks, involved 1 348 people aged about 26 years. In the second, which lasted two months, was attended by 500 people, (age 32 years), of whom 442 had intended to leave. During both surveys the participants were asked questions about different aspects of their relationship, were studied in their evaluation of the behavior of the partner.
In each of these projects, despite the completely different attitude to continue the relationship, the researchers got a similar result. When people are aware of the attachment to them of their partners, to end the relationship they were in no hurry, even if the relationship is perceived critical.
“Realizing that the partner is strongly attached to them, people rarely become the initiators of a breakup. That affected both those who were bound to your soulmate, and are dissatisfied with their relationships,” stated the authors.
In previous studies on this topic, scientists have come to the conclusion that people find it difficult to end the relationship due to the fact that they regret the resources spent on them or for fear of being alone.
