Author & Relationship Coach Justin Rigney is much more negative, saying:
“The most basic human instinct is to stay comfortable. Humans will do anything to avoid discomfort.
People’s subconscious would rather be miserable and comfortable, than happy and uncomfortable” 2
His comments are within the context of personal relationships – more here…
Justin goes on to say:
“If you don’t believe that, just look at all the unhappy marriages in the world. There is one underlying reason why miserable couples stay together. Because it’s familiar. Because it’s comfortable”
This is known as being “comfortably unhappy” in a relationship… And this state can go on for quite a long time until a “catalyst for change” comes along…

Alessia Cianni in her blog (url above) says:
“Living Comfortably Unhappy Isn’t Really Living at All
Do you ever wonder if what you are doing with your life is bringing you the happiness it should? If the people you are surrounding yourself with are adding to your overall contentment? Are you someone who ‘lives for the weekend’?
Whether it is relating to a job, relationship or hobby, it is awfully dangerous to fall into a comfortably unhappy routine. Waking up each day to go to a job that is bringing you no sense of satisfaction, but, provides stability seems to be the norm for a lot of people. Then there are those that are dating someone just because they are lonely. Or perhaps even worse, staying with someone they’ve been with for years just because it’s comfortable and safe. But why are any of these acceptable scenarios?”
