Why are people comfortable with being unhappy?

We might get older, but do we ever grow up?Why is it that I have heard the same story from 18, 22, 27, 35, and 42 year olds. They are all in relationships that don't make them happy; they don't see the relationship going anywhere, but they don't break up. And the guys in those relationships are busy talking to me, fantasizing about what their relationships could be like.Why are people comfortable with being unhappy?Since when did it become acceptable to say: "I'm not really happy with where my life is right now, but I don't really feel like doing the right thing and making it better."I have been guilty at times of having this mindset, but I have finally realized that if something or someone does not make me happy, then I'm not going to waste my time with it or them anymore. I'm not settling. I'm striving.
