MEN'S EMOTIONS EXPOSED! Why They Stay In Unhappy Relationships

MEN'S EMOTIONS EXPOSED! Why They Stay In Unhappy Relationships

Have you ever asked: why would a man stay in an unhappy relationship or marriage?

There's a reason why this happens that might surprise you especially since men are often considered commitment-phobic or adverse to connection. Men have often perceived as the ones who bail quickly from a relationship and yet from what I've observed they will stay in a bad relationship for a reason.

In today's video, we are going to explore the DEEPER emotional dynamic of men in general as it relates to staying in bad marriages or relationships.

Let's talk about... MEN'S EMOTIONS EXPOSED! Why They Stay In Unhappy Relationships

Wow!! Men (and women) are afraid to end an unhappy relationship because they lack something deep inside them, self-love. This is very profound (and true!). Thank you! 💕

[LisaGemini]

I agree, Jonathon. I finally learned not to stay in an unhappy relationship. Forget the fear of being alone, it's better to be single than unhappily married. Why be miserable, year after year? Thank you for "yelling at" us, it shows how much you CARE.

I think that as a rule by midlife, most men need women more than women need men. If you notice, after divorce or if widowed, the men tend to remarry very quickly whereas women don't seem to be so rushed about it or will take their time. Men have a much harder time being alone. Women are actually more independent and emotionally stronger from my observations.

Answer: Doesn't want his kids and $$$ taken away from him

[jeanmontiel]

I am proof that this is so true. I appreciate and admire a mans courage to tell me if he is unhappy! This is so liberating!!

I stayed in an unhealthy, unhappy relationship because of kids, and wanting to protect them from a super dysfunctional spouse. I was controlled by my ex to such a degree that it was very, very difficult to “leave” or get him out. It took 1+ year to make a game plan.

My kids and I are still going through the pain of the divorce process... it’s now been 10+ years. My ex tried to completely destroy me and my life...

Such a great video! So happy I chose myself over my ex and the toxic relationship. Yes, I was and still am single and boy didn’t I lose! I gained self love and confidence! Living a happy healthy single life now. Attached is a must read, people! Thank you Jonathon, for yelling and swearing! You woke me up, 4 months ago, to take matters in my own hands and build up my self love and confidence and not to give my power away ever again! You’re the best catch, coach and friend I could have asked for in 2020! Bless your soul! 🙏🏽💖😘

Wow Jonathon ! This segment: " Over 2/3 of divorces are initiated by women. What men do is once they are in a relationship they tend to nest. As long as they are getting their bare minimum of needs met they rarely go out and seeking attention elsewhere." is like a light bulb to me. When I look around this is so true !!! Good job. Have a good day ! :-)

There are people who have discovered their spouse has attraction for the same sex and they stay because they view them as their best friend. What a dynamic turn of events, and yet they say they are happy to be their friend! You can see they are settling and that their hearts are broken over their marriage and their spouse.

[MariaMedina-ljkt]

A lot of truth in this, and I believe plenty of people have realized it by now, but most people do absolutely nothing to change it.

[theresabaker]

When trust is lost it’s very hard to have gratitude or appreciation in a relationship.
Gratitude and appreciation are very important but I think it needs to be reciprocated for a healthy relationship definitely.

[Intothelight]

One of the best things you said Jonathon was basically don’t just ask “ why HE wants to” but “why would YOU want to?” What people do does say a great deal about what degree of self love they have or are capable of, which shows how capable they are of loving others. That said... yes finances and kids can complicate matters and make a relationship last a long time, maybe longer than it should. Or maybe its even lack of tools on how to “end”...but as you say, health matters for sure, and that includes spiritual, emotional and mental health. And that surely impacts the physical. Seems like most people notice when its finally manifested physically?

[cathynarsete]

Jonathon, thank you so very much! I am sitting here talking out loud saying Yes! yes! YOU are spot on! I am happily fresh out of a marriage that I stayed decades too long. I NOW love myself and can’t wait to see your video on “only date this kind of man.” Sending you many hugs! 🤗

[angelicaangel]

I think they stay because they dont believe they can get someone as good or better than who they have currently. Money...social pressures...children...other obligations might come into this aswell.

[cathynarsete]

Ditto to Corina’s comment to you!
I love your sincere caring passion in your words! I love every short video you put out! Thank you for your gift to the world! May your day be filled with many blessings Jonathon!🤗

[shelleyoconnor]

Hugs Jonathan! I got the eff out!! Took me along time but I did it!! Thank you!

My first marriage - 24 years - I stuck with it 'til my boys were almost out of high school, and then couldn't stand it anymore. The divorce traumatized both of them, and grieved me deeply. Their dad still blames me for everything. My 2nd? I would've gladly died with him. He and I together were determined to put everything we'd learned to work, and we did, and we were so content together. Alzheimer's took him. 8 short magnificent years. I'm not done.

[kathrinturner]

I agree. No more staying in unhappy/unhealthy relationships. In my younger years, I would have stayed. Not now because I love myself too much to put up with a man’s BS. It’s all about self love baby! BTW, I read your book and it was very informative. Thanks for all you do, Jonathon!✌🏾

[tianiemitchell]

Yes you said a mouthful.
When women ask these questions they're either single and in love with a married man or having an affair with a married man or being utterly irresponsible to expect a man to make all the decision making when they themselves are 50% of that decision and should take responsibility for it
