When you fall out of love with someone, doing the right thing and initiating a breakup can be easier said than done. After being in a long-term relationship [1], you inevitably become attached to the level of comfort and connectedness you've established, so it's no wonder people have such a hard time letting go.

So ladies, even though it's not the most respectable thing to do, tell me, have you ever stayed in a relationship longer than you should have out of fear of being alone?
