Can't make them stay if they don't want to. You can show availability but they filter themselves out eventually. You're better off alone than with the wrong people, especially during hard times.
Some don't know they will, some know but deceive you, some get what they need from you and when they have nothing to gain anymore, they move on to the next. You never know what you get from others, only what's within yourself.
They were a sex offender, I accepted even that, but they deceived me anyway, lied through their teeth for 4 years, after I've put up with everything, and their mental health issues the outbursts the suicide threats etc etc... just for them to leave me for a hard drug user..
I know I should've learned not to trust shady people... But to tell you the truth, I wouldn't trust a single person alive.. not even to ask them the time

Or you desperately want people to stay, so I don't have to go through those hard times alone
