I got this friend who is in a real bad relationship that sometimes involving police to keep it under control.But they say they love each other and its jsut the way it gets some times and think thats bullshit but there r ppl who stay in relationships that can b very unhealthy.Is because they're afraid to start over,is it the sex that keeps them captive,or is it out of pity for one another/Its nuts but love is sometimes crazy.JMO Whats yours or have u experience it yourself and how did u finally let go?

its called codependency..usually stemming from growing up in a disfunctional family

Counseling is the only way

I stayed in a bad marriage for awhile because we have a son together and I did what I could to save the marriage. When in a team only one is working as a team the team falls apart.

That could b it and seeking out help might do them both some good.But what if its not because of a dysfunctional family and goes deeper than that?
