Why Would You Stay In a Relationship You Know It Won't Last?

[@theonetruesarauniya]

2:53 to 3:59 kills me because that is super similar to the relationship I'm in now. This is so painful and heartbreaking.

[@JamelHoward3291]

I rushed into a relationship. We'll make a year 2 days from now. I dont think it will last forever because of minor little issues that are starting to take a toll but i stay because i love her and want to enjoy the remaining time we have together whether that be days, weeks months or a few years

I typed this comment before actually starting the video, 5 minutes in im shocked how many people have similar answers

[@theawesomest2850]

Sounds like a lot of these peoples just wasting their time.

[@jffry890]

It's onky wasting your time if you have time-based long-term relationship plans such as kids.

[@frosttheweavile461]

Because you know you can’t do any better and this is as good as it will ever be.

Mine is the opposite. We were in love but I had to leave. He's an alcoholic and it was killing me. My dad was an alcoholic and I knew if I stayed I'd watch him die the same way. Leaving was the hardest thing I've ever done. 💜

She's 20 years older than me. Been together 2 years. We both agree that it won't last and she encourages me to find a woman that can give me kids, and maybe I should, but I enjoy her company and I like to believe she feels the same. We live 45 minutes apart and see each other one night per week. Neither of us have any major plans in the short term so why not spend what time we can together?

[@geohamptonrds]

She sounds like a predator. Run

Being 30 or above is not like being a corpse, people! So tired of people saying “I’m almost 30. I’m running out of time…” Life does not end at 29.5. If it did then midlife was 15. At 15 did you know what you wanted in life? Also, SHUT UP about “Women at 35 are too old for a baby”. Fostering and adoption are great options. Love makes a family, not blood.

I got with a guy I'd gone to highschool with a few months after graduation. At first it was fine, but then he got clingy and was always over at my house so I started to get annoyed by his presence because im an independent and introverted person who gets exhausted dealing with other people for extended periods, especially when they're constantly in my personal space. He also started trying to manipulate and gaslight me in the later half of our relationship (which was a little over 4 years long). I didn't leave him because I thought I just didn't understand what normal couple stuff was and was just getting annoyed for no reason. Then he got drunk after a stupid argument (not long after he tried to convince me to have sex with him because I said I might be asexual/had a low drive and sulked when I refused) and threatened to end himself so I broke up with him and he blocked me on everything. I was so used to his presence despite how much it annoyed me to be around him that I just tolerated it, and felt relieved and free when it was over. I cared about him, but I had long since stopped loving him and couldn't genuinely say I loved him or feel any romantic feelings when he would basically force me to kiss him goodbye. About 6 months later I tentatively got back into dating and have been talking to a really sweet guy who actually respects me, my interests, and my boundaries. We aren't officially dating but we're sorta moving in that direction. I don't know where my ex is now, just that he quit a well paying job and moved out of his apartment not long after, and he had said at one point that our relationship had been one of the main things keeping him in our town, so maybe he moved down to Florida with his mom. I don't wish anything bad on him and I recommended he get therapy when I broke up with him, but I can't really bring myself to care much about where he is now other than occasionally wondering out of sheer curiosity

[@seabirdflutter]

he wouldn't even consider breaking up, even though i felt like it was clear as day that we weren't a good fit. he wanted to "fix" whoever he dated, and i have always been a very independent person. i didn't like how he tried to talk down to me about my issues, and i didn't want to spill my guts to him. when i wouldn't be open with him, he went and started being friends with a freshman girl, and he drove her around and had a nickname for her. she had a tough home life, and i guess he just couldn't help himself. so every time i brought up a breakup, partially because we were arguing often, he'd about lose it and say i was his only reason to get up in morning, etc. if i broke up with him, i would lose my only friends left. there was a lot of external stuff going on, but i just wish he hadn't been so hellbent on us staying together if we clearly weren't a good pair.

A lot of this is both depressing and relieving

[@robbytheartist3997]

Im in one. I do it for my daughter. When you have kids, life is not about you anymore. I'll smile everyday just to keep that girl happy, although I'm dying deep down. #ThatLife #FrankSinatra #FatherHere

[@melvinatkins998]

Perhaps because she has that, ‘Good/Good!’….. 😂

[@owenlivers7105]

She left me yesterday, over something that had nothing to do with me...

[@deborahyoung1873]

A lot of these are just so sad.

[@em1osmurf]

[@therealzenox0z]
