Ohhh, yeah. I was in therapy and my therapist finally asked me what the payoff was to staying with my husband, because as he put it, "There has to be one." I think for me, it was mostly fear about my financial situation and unwillingness to admit the whirlwind romance was a mistake, but yes, maybe a tiny bit of being superior.
