Aquarius may stay in a relationship that is no longer healthy for her because she pities her partner and believes that they will be unable to function without her. The idea of staying is less terrible than the idea of seeing their sorrowful faces when she breaks up with them. They may also stay in a relationship because they are afraid to be on their own. This fear may come from childhood experiences where they were not given enough protection or guidance from parents or others who should have shown them how to deal with the world. Finally, an Aquarius may stay in a relationship that is not right for her because she does not like change. She would much rather stay where things are easy than face the pain of breaking free from them. However, if she really loves someone, she will try hard not to keep her down. She will try to help him or her see the errors of their ways so that they can break free from unhealthy relationships. Aquarius people are usually very independent individuals who don't like being tied down by anyone or anything. They like to think that they can go wherever they want, do whatever they want, with whomsoever they want. However, most Aquarians are just as likely to remain in one place for many years instead of settling down somewhere else. This might indicate that they find security and happiness only with someone they know well and can trust.
