When friends are loved ones complain about a toxic relationship, it seems that leaving their significant other is easier said than done. Recent statistics point out that only 17% of couples claim to actually be happy with their current partner. Previous relationship research further echoed this trend with 25% of people saying they were no longer “in love” with their spouse and 1/5 of people reporting “feeling trapped in their marriages.” Experts say people tend to stay in unhappy or unhealthy relationships because the benefits outweigh the costs, but it is important to weigh long-term happiness over short-term comfort when deciding to say in a situation that no longer serves you.
