Why We Stay in Bad Relationships, Solved

If you have ever watched someone you love stay in a relationship that is destroying them, or if you have been that person yourself, this episode will shine a lot of light on what is really going on under the hood.
We get into why the good moments in a toxic relationship are actually more dangerous than the bad ones, why empathetic people are the most vulnerable to abusive partners, and why resilience can quietly become the thing that keeps you stuck. We cover the slot machine effect that turns volatility into addiction, the cognitive dissonance that lets you talk yourself into staying, the sunk cost fallacy that keeps the door closed, and the guilt and fear that show up at the very end when you finally try to leave.
