Why do people stay in harmful relationships?
It’s never simple — and it’s never just weakness. In this sensitive Awkwardish episode, Ruby unpacks the complicated mix of love, fear, hope, and survival that keeps people in places they wish they could leave.
This conversation explores:
• Trauma bonding and attachment
• The myths about “just leaving”
• The emotional and practical barriers
• Why survivors blame themselves
If you’ve ever stayed longer than you wanted to, or judged yourself for not leaving sooner — this episode is for you.
You’re not broken. You were surviving with the tools you had.
