It is not an easy decision to end a marriage.
But sometimes the marriage is so bad there is no possibility of it being salvaged.
Yet, faced with this kind of obvious decision, some women will stay anyway.
Why? Here are 5 reasons: 1.
Some women think they have too much time and effort invested in their husband.
This is a big deal because they don't like the prospect of someone else getting the man they have put all of their effort and hard work into.
They might see a few gleaming qualities in him, but they are trying to over-exaggerate how good these traits really are as a way of justifying staying.
For a woman to make the move, they have to look at it this way: if things were so wonderful, then you wouldn't be contemplating such a definitive end to the relationship.
2.
The woman thinks she should stay for her children.
Let's face it: it isn't easy to split kids up from their parents.
Even with week-end visitation, it's incredibly hard on them.
But it also isn't fair for children to witness a bad marriage and all it entails.
It skews their outlook on what a "normal" marriage should be.
3.
They have low self-esteem.
The woman believes she simply couldn't do any better.
After all, who would want them? They were lucky to find this man, but who would want to be with them now, right? Wrong! Every woman deserves to be with the "right" person who will treat them as they should be treated.
No woman should stay because she thinks so little of herself.
Even if a woman suffers from low self-esteem, she should rally her friends to help encourage her to make the move.
It's much better than settling...
4.
The woman thinks this is as good as it gets.
This is probably the only real long-term intimate relationship she has been in so she don't know any better.
What's even worse is if she has a history of bad relationships and she believes, as far as her life goes, there's no such thing as a happy relationship because she has never experienced it before.
5.
She is afraid to start over.
The thought of getting back out on the dating scene is as appealing as a root canal without anesthesia.
Plus, she fears the title of "divorcée" will send any reasonable man running.
The woman says to herself: "who wants to date someone who has already proven they aren't marriage material?" But women need to remember: half of all marriages end in divorce, so that's a lot of divorced guys who are eligible, too.
