But come on, aren't we all constantly amazed at how long our friends will stay in negative relationships? People (generalizing) will often stay longer in a negative relationship than a positive one. Think about it.

Not that this has anything to do with the original topic, but it seems to me like a lot of people would rather live for the good parts in an overall negative relationship than worry that something positive might end. My guess is that if you can deal with the negativity, it's at least consistent, and the only surprises in the relationship are good. The same people, when put in good relationships, get scared about the other shoe dropping and leave before they can get hurt. Yeah, negative relationships hurt too, but it's easier for some people to be in a crappy relationship that they really don't care about than get all emotionally invested in someone great because, at some point, things might get tough and they'll actually, *gasp*, care.
Screwed up, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
