If somebody is trying to get you to stay with them, because there is an actual relationship, things might not be great right now but there is a chance for it to work... If that somebody tried any way they could think of to get you to stay, would that be more likely to make you think of them as low and desperate, and to turn you away, or otherwise?

Please don't stop, it's lonely at the top. These lonely days, when
will they ever stop? This doomsday clock ticking in my heart.
