Are you wondering if a relationship can actually make you depressed? Love can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes it makes us feel more alive than we ever thought possible, and sometimes it has us at its mercy. Sooner or later, we need to evaluate our relationships and let go of people who may be toxic towards us. The unfortunate truth is that some people are just not ready for relationships and may not have your best intentions in mind. Accepting that your partner is contributing to your depression is hard to face - especially if you desperately want things to work out

00:00 Okay, so your relationship is making you depressed.
00:03 So why don't you leave?
00:04 Over the years, researchers have tried to figure out why people stay in unsatisfying relationships,
00:11 and they've come up with some interesting theories.
00:14 Early studies claim that couples stay together because they thought that they couldn't find anyone better,
00:19 or that they were afraid of the uncertainty of separation.
00:23 But modern researchers believe that it's much more personal.
00:27 One new study suggested that people might stay together because their partner is extremely devoted
00:33 or out of concern for each other's welfare.
00:35 If your partner is saying concerning things such as, "I can't live without you" or "You're the only good thing in my life",
00:43 it can put a lot of pressure on you to keep them happy.
00:46 This shouldn't make you feel like you have to accept certain behaviors and mistreatment if you're experiencing it.
