Should You Break Up Or Just Let Yourself Get Sick?
Dr. Elizabeth Ochoa, Chief Psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, says many people stay in relationships even when they know it's a bad idea. "There's a fear of being alone and a fear of failure," she told Yahoo Health. "They question whether they are worthy or lovable, and they have a fear of giving up on the relationship. They think that if they just stay, maybe something will change."
