Maybe the OP/R continues b/c H they refuse to look at the original pain possibly from their own childhood/past they live in denial and seek to medicate themselves from these looming issues of their past I dont know maybe for some H its too late..they think they are in love or addicted to Op and do not want to face pain of breakup
peace
