because the toxic partner/s are hot. they can be so hot they simply can't be resisted

good looks can always override any bullshit behavior

who the hell stays in toxic friendships? friendships are based mostly on personality and values

Being manipulated into a sense of low self esteem and low self worth by the ongoing verbal abuse making them feel if they left they will never find anyone better
