Why is it so hard to stop loving the person that is not good for you?

We all believe in love, and we all want to love and be loved in return. It is hard to stop loving a person who isn't good for you because you think that you can change them.

They say never get too attached to something that’s not yours. We all love something that we can’t have, I mean sometimes it doesn’t matter how much you want it, it cannot always happen your way, you know? Even if you feel like it belongs to you and nobody else, or perhaps that you’ll be able to love it more than anyone else, if it’s not yours, it’s just not. You cannot own people all the time. You gotta let them be. if they’re meant to be with you, you’ll see that happen. It’s okay to want them. It’s okay to try. But not everything you love can be yours.

It can be difficult to stop loving the person that is not good for you because sometimes they are all you know. It is sometimes difficult to look past this person into what the future could be, leaving you feeling stuck. You are never stuck.

Because we are always hoping that maybe someday the person that we love might change. We wanted to be a part of that change. And we wanted to be the reason why he/she changed.

There can be many reasons why we feel a strong emotional attachment to people who are harmful to us. It's possible that this person has manipulated you to foster a sense of dependence on them, it's one thing that abusers, both emotional & physical, are very good at. Because if they didn't seem like a completely wonderful person at least some of the time, no one would ever would put up with their harmful behavior.

We try and see the good in people where it may not be. We try and think that they have the ability to change, that they won't always be the way they are. We do not want to let go the person we thought we were in love with.

Loving gives us a pleasure. It's sometimes the ultimate tonic and sometimes the sweet poison. The experience that we feel when we are in love are not common in our usual boring life. These experiences provide us weird pleasure. So even if the person is not right for us we find it hard to stop loving them because we don't want that feeling to vanish, that feeling is what makes the life different at that time and if it disappeared it will leave a void. Most people are in love with the feeling of being in love.

Because love is perhaps the most powerful and complex emotion a person can experience. It fills your body with all kinds of feel-good hormones and basically changes the way you think in a very profound way. You'll cling to the person that gave you that feeling no matter how they treat you or what they do... because you love them.

It's hard to stopping loving someone that's not good for you because maybe you were with that person for so long that you became comfortable with them, you opened up to them and gave them everything you had. It's hard to just having feelings for someone so quickly.

Because you are in love with them and you try to see the best in them no matter what because you love them.

It's very easy to see someone as what they are not. In relationships, often the person you fall in love with can take on additional traits in your mind that aren't necessarily realistic.

Love is always tough. You can't control what your heart holds. Secondly, it's hard to stop loving someone because we invest ourselves so much into them. We make time for them and we trust them and make them a part of our lives and letting all this go away, is not easy!

It's pretty hard to tell your heart who to love and who not to love, honestly. I think that when it comes to love, it can be anybody, even the ones who aren't good for you.

Because we think we can change them and that if you keep loving them that they will change. Simple as that...

Because deep down your heart you feel that you can change them by your love and you think that they need you

There is often a disconnect between what the heart wants and what the brain needs. At the core of this issue is fear of change. It is natural to fear a break up from even an unsavory person, as change is frightening to most people.

Because sometimes that person, even though they are not good for you, will make you feel good and tell you things you want to hear.

emotions are a very hard thing to stop, especially a strong emotion like love. maybe someone isnt good for you, but once you fall in love with them its very hard to just stop those feelings and the attachment which comes along with that love feeling.

Sometimes the only things you see about that person is good qualities which can hinder your capability in seeing the truth about them.

It's hard because you build up emotional attachments to that person because in your head, you feel as if they're perfect but in reality they're not. They're what's poisoning your mind
