Thoughts on being single and being in a relationship.

relationships are hard work but overall make me a happier person. 
 
being single is good too if there are no good options.
 
just depends on if the girl is worth it, in the end. 

 

 
Definitely. Both have their pros and cons.
 
Healthy relationships have added immense value to my life but I'm grateful I've had periods of time alone as an adult to develop as an individual.

 

It depends on the other person.

Don't get into a toxic or lifeless relationship just to avoid being alone.

 

Yea relationships have kind of helped me grow up so to speak. But there's good and bad to both.I sometimes wish I would b single so I could have sex with other females, but then again I'm glad I can be as nasty as I want wit my girl I'm the only one in it. Its good to have someone to go to wen I need to get something off my chest. And vice versa for my girl but women always got something to complain about. Sorry ladies. But all in all i like relationship over being single. But I have a great girl so maybe I just got lucky. But hope I helped

 

It's nice having a partner.

Someone to listen, someone to debate, someone to watch your back, someone to cuddle with, someone to hold, someone to support you when you need it, someone to challenge you.

But you have to be ready for monogamy/commitment and you have to find someone who you have genuine chemistry with.

 

It's great being in a long term relationship with someone that understands that I need my solitude from time to time.

 

Personally I don't care for relationships. I have too many things to overcome and to achieve to waste my time, money, and energy on anyone else.

 

 
I have a great gf too, may never be single again. She gives me energy like nothing else and knows how to bring out my best. I had a medical emergency recently and may have died if she wasn't around to find me. I would choose this healthy, energizing relationship over being single any day but would choose being single over the majority of my previous relationships (if given the chance to repeat them).

 

That's great man forreal. It has a good feeling knowing u have a good girl other ppl want but u got her. And even though they get us mad they know how to make us feel just as much better(vice versa). And if u mind sharing what happened to u

 

 
Well said.
 
Thought runs through my head where I wouldve been if Ida went after some of these girls, but I didnt feel the SAME VIBE as the ones I HAD to go for, or make an attempt at...but I didnt have much falling outs or negative situations because I weeded out those troulesome type of girls, or merely werent attracted to them like that perhaps.
 
Some people are getting into these "economic" relationships, but more solely for the benefits that is hooking up a few times, then maybe living together or something there of, or possibly from living in close quarters you hook up, then support each other financially considering the current state of the economy, splitting up on the rent, expenses/bills, food etc etc. Sort of a new means of making it through these times with a little extra on the side.
 
I mean if you can meet a pretty solid individual (male/female depending on whos reading this) and the above ^^^ sort of helps each other out, then from it it goes a little bit further and you reach that type of relationship ehhh mehhh

 

I think both come with their positives, but they come with negative aspects as well.
 
Personally I just got out of a big relationship a couple of months ago - long distance and long duration - and certainly miss it from time to time, but I'm somewhat excited to venture into single life for the next little while. All in all, relationships, both good and bad give a person perspective, they - like most things profound in one's life - shape who we are as people and are some of the most definitive events in our lives. 

 

I think if you are in a good relationship then you will like relationships. If you are in a bad relationship, you tend to think relationships are a bad idea.
 
I have been with my guy for about 8 years now, I wouldn't trade it for sex with other people or "freedom". We're best friends and we actually like seeing each other every day. We may not spend time together or even talk to each other some days, but its nice to occupy space in a room with someone and not have to interact with them, if that makes sense.  You know its a good thing when you can comfortably enjoy silence with each other.  Plus I can tell him anything, I don't have to worry about being weird infront of him because he won't judge me, and he knows what I like in the bedroom so I don't have to fake orgasms like back in my teens. Yep, being in an adult relationship is pretty neat. 

 

Sound good to me

I love having someone to share my thoughts and feelings with. I get stressed and worried a lot, but when I'm with my boyfriend it seems to disappear. He makes me feel like everything's gonna be alright. Really, being in a relationship helps me feel like a happier, calmer, and more well-adjusted person overall. Even after being with him for over 3 years, he still gives me butterflies.
 
When I was single, I was a mess. I was shaky, depressed, always angry at something or someone, and I had absolutely no confidence or self-esteem.
 
So in my book at least, being in a relationship > being single.

 

fuck being single, that shit isnt for me.

but then again, I have a whole slew of failed relationships that would say those arent for me either.

fucked if I do, fucked if I dont.

 

I'm young, 20 ish, and have been in a relationship for a while. In my first year of uni I'd get jealous of the exciting sex and all the hot guys my roommate brought home after nights clubbing. (When we went out, they'd dance with boys, and I would party with the group. At night I'd drunkenly fall asleep alone knowing the party hadn't really stopped for some (wink wink).
Anyways what got me through EVERY weekend was knowing that 6/7 days of the week my girls were wishing they had a boyfriend as great as mine. There's nothing better than relaxing with your partner after a fight, knowing that what you have is greater than it. There was nothing worse than the look on my girls faces when a dumb fight ended in a breakup
