Why do people run back to those who betrayed them: what is behind it
Sometimes relationships end because of betrayal.
However, despite the pain and disappointment, people often return to those who hurt them.
This phenomenon may seem strange, but there are deep psychological reasons behind it.
Psychologists and relationship experts have long studied why we return to those who hurt us. And their findings are sometimes surprising.
Betrayal in relationships
Betrayal in a relationship can manifest itself in different ways.
It is mainly associated with betrayal, lies, and breach of trust.
However, despite the seriousness of these actions, many couples find the strength to start all over again.
Research published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships shows that the reasons for this behavior may be complex.
One of the main reasons for returning to those who betrayed is the fear of loneliness.
Many people are afraid of being alone and prefer to be in a relationship, even if it is not ideal.
The feeling of fear can be so strong that people are willing to forgive betrayal.
Psychologists note that the reason for such behavior is childhood trauma in the family.
Another important reason is the belief in the possibility of change.
People often hope that their partner will change and not hurt them anymore.
Renowned psychologist Dr. Sue Johnson notes that forgiveness is possible, but it must be a conscious choice and not the result of pressure.
