What makes people return to a relationship which is unhealthy?

If it's based on lies, insults, someone being drunk constantly feeling alone regardless of whether if it's true.... why go back?? I don't understand? Maybe, some may feel I'm speaking from a place of priveledge or lack of knowledge... if you say love is the reason is it really love? Or is it want, the desire for it to be love for there to be a reason, and/or it just familairity? Knowing that and not wanting to change a stupid routine where you're unhappy? What is it? Please reason with me... because I truly don't understand!

illusion of love is blind. even if its unrequited. I think a lot of people are conditioned to think they can change the past into their favor even if it involves someone who doesn't reciprocate that vision. you cant change someone if they're people who are abusing and dont know they are because you keep coming back to them. you just end up alienating those who actually love/support you in favor of someone who will fuck you over again.
