When my life has been a struggle, I've always taken that as a signal to change my life. I have walked out of dysfunctional relationships, packed my car and driven off when it felt necessary, moved 3000 miles away and started my life all over. I have never allowed life to become an unhappy struggle for too long, I have always taken the necessary steps to change it into something better and more positive. So no, I am not generalizing. I am speaking from my experience.
Others will choose to do what they choose of course. Generally though, I would say the reason people spend years struggling -- staying in unhappy relationships is very common -- is because people tend to fear change, fear uncertainty, fear insecurity. I have never really feared change much. I would choose to be alone in a new place with little money, than stay with a partner I don't like just so I'm not alone, or stay in a job I can't stand just for the paycheck.
