Why do people go back to the ones that abandon them?

i dont understand how someone could love a person after that or love a person at all when all that person does is sit and mindlessly stare at a tv.

Well my dear that really depends on whom the person is that is doing the abandoning. If it is a parent, relative or life partner! It also depends on the connection they had prior to all that abandonment issues.

I can only speak from my experiences here, my mother abandoned me since I was 3 years old. I have spent my life trying to gain her respect, acceptance & build some sort of relationship regardless because she is after all my mother…did it help me any…NO…have I stopped trying…NO..do I resent her for being that way constantly making me feel like crap & worthless…Yes I do, Can I change her or her ways…NO!!! What do I choose to do now…IGNORE HER when she gets outbursts…yes it is annoying as hell & sometimes I get so furious I want her simply out of my life but she is still my mother…I didnt choose her but I can decide to move away & not allow her to hurt me. Same with relationships…they will come & go & you will feel abandoned…if you love them if you feel there is something worth saving then you will try to be civil & come to some common ground some mutual understanding so things can work out.

Maybe your mother is like that too! Talk to her, ask her why she does that to really know her answer!

It’s a psychological habit people just feel safe and when betrayed they have some delusional feeling that the person might not do it again which is rare but happens.

Hey temptress I can Identify to a degree (my father)

Onemandog, we all someone like that in our family…cant escape it. You just learn to cope & move on or cut them out of your life for good…which ever comes first! :P

i think that they are in love with the person, and cannot stop thiking about them. my friend had that same proplem. she still loved him. so, i tink that they’re stuck on them.

because they u could be lonely without them or something and u could really want them back but the big thing is that u want them back

some people just don’t want too move on
