I've been thinking about how often you see someone who acts horrible to everyone around them, yet the people they interact with just put up with the behavior. For instance, enablers of drug or alcohol abusers. I know, it's usually because they feel an obligation or a family commitment, but how on earth does a person retain feelings for someone that is simply unlikeable?

I know for myself and probably most Avies, I go to great lengths to keep my distance, so I don't mean to imply that I think people should make MORE effort on my part... I just wonder what the hold is, and why some people seem to have it, and others don't.

Another example: There's always at least 1 person in an organization, family, job that has everyone on pins and needles. Everyone's accommodating to them in person, but behind their back they all speak ill of them.
