Why do people stay in bad relationships? I need some advice badly?

I have been with my bf for 5 years. I started dating him when I was young, and he is my second boyfriend. I am only 23 and he is 28. We moved out of my home state 2 years ago for his job.... it seems we have always fought and people in my family have told me to leave him... but I care for him. We have fought over everything from how I make less money that him to the fact that I won't let him do anal sex with me. He is not verbally abusive every day... and he does not get mad every day, it is just when he does get upset some times he over reacts. In the past he has called me a bitc*, cun*, fat azz, ugly, stupid, nasty... and I have said mean things to him too. I try to apologize though, and talk about our differences. I have packed and unpacked my clothing so many times. He can be very nice at times too, and it makes me feel bad for wanting to leave... We have never really sat down and talked to each other about our feelings, and because of that all of the stuff that has happened in the last 5 years has built and built and built. I am no longer sexually attracted to him, although he still wants to have sex with me. I feel badly that I am not making him feel desired, but I have told him what could help me get that feeling back, which would be a long chat... but he doesn't feel like he needs to talk about the relationship and any time that I try to initiate a conversation about the things bothering me, he gets angry. even when we are having a good time there is always this thought in the back of my mind that I don't want to be with him... I just constantly think that I am here because I don't really know what love is, and I don't have anything to compare this relationship to. I feel selfish when I think of leaving, but I cannot give all of myself to him either... What in the heck is wrong with me??? I feel like a mental caseWhy do people stay in bad relationships?

There is nothing wrong with you. You have allowed yourself to be trapped in a cycle of depression and hate, and you need to get out.





People stay in relationships because of the reasons you've said ';I might love him.'; or ';I feel selfish.';
