Why is it so hard to leave a relationship even when you know it's over?

Your head has already left — made the decision, rehearsed the conversation, imagined the life on the other side — and yet you're still there.

Leaving isn't just about love. It's about identity, routine, fear of the unknown, and the grief of admitting that something you chose didn't work out.

Have you ever stayed somewhere you knew you should leave — what finally moved you, or what is still keeping you in place?
