Nurturing a relationship that doesn't make us happy seems safer than going into a new relationship.

Status quo maintains things as they currently are, even when they are vanquishing your life.

You miss out potential benefits that could outweigh the risks by keeping a disproportionate preference for the present state of affairs.
