It's strange to me that some people in non-abusive relationships who just aren't happy, stay together for some reason.

If both of you are not happy together and are actively making each other unhappy, break up.

It's not worth it.

Stress kills.

@BeAware people base their entire identities on the sameness of the day. change is quite literally shocking. we see it all the time in small things, but big things have a much bigger impact. plus the person being abused may feel overly controlled by the abuser, so much so that they would feel threatened by leaving. experience: my mom's relationship with her BF that wound up putting her in prison.

@Eric I definitely feel you on the first part.

That may be heavily at play most of the time. Though, I'm specifically discussing non-abusive, so the second part really wouldn't apply.

That's wild...
