Like you have to worry all the time what she’s doing, who’s she with. If she’ll leave you or betray you.
I’ve been single my whole life. It sucks yet is so amazing and peaceful. I don’t think I can give up this freedom to worry about someone else.

I voted yes and you are right. The points that you have mentioned are right indeed.
However, it would also depend on the person also, like how their thought process is, how much tolerant they are towards things, are they lenient and more forgiving or if they are very strict towards their partner maintaining the boundaries etc. If they have high standards as to how their partner should be etc.
If they are a person who are very strict and unforgiving, they are intolerant and cannot accept any sort of lapses/mistakes in behavior of their partner then yes for such a person it can be very stressful having a partner.
As for me, I have always been single and yes I am of the type who is highly intolerant towards many things, there are plenty of deal breakers as compared to points that I can accept. The standards are very high as well with equal importance on physical looks and personality with no compromise. I will never accept and tolerate any sort of mind games that a woman would play.
As a person I am very rigid and closed minded and I am very strict on the behavior aspects as well. One unforgivable (subjective to me) mistake and the person is out of my life forever that means the woman has to be at her best as the margin of error is very less and that being said I love my freedom also. Hence for me it would be way too stressful having a partner.
I do agree with the points that you have stated.
I think this answers your questions
It's actually the opposite for me. My wife relieves my stress rather than contributes to it as far the net effect. She cheers me up when I'm down. Of course there's sometimes a bit of stress just from the basic aspect of being married and sharing a household but overall, she reduces more of my stress than adds to it. I was more stressed out when I was a bachelor without her since I didn't have her to cheer me up when I was down.
She's a Buddhist and has that whole inner peace and joy type of thing going with very positive and productive thinking patterns. It's almost like being married to a pro therapist. I'm also into Stoicism and it's a very similar philosophy (minus the spirituality) and so we're both kind of cognitive therapists for each other, identifying and correcting each other's negative thinking patterns whenever they occur.
Also she grew up as the youngest daughter in a family of elder brothers so she understands how men work exceptionally well. She lets me have fun watching shows to unwind and doesn't nag me or anything about it and she's almost impossible to offend or upset.
I think life has all kinds of stress, not just the stress from being with someone first and foremost.
There's financial stress (not having enough money to survive or to pay your bills or get the things you want, hell even need).
There's HEALTH stress (and that one is a MAJOR stress for some people because they're not as healthy. Maybe they're even disabled, or they have cancer or some other terminal illness. Maybe they have psychological stress too because their wife/husband just left them to become a single parent. etc.)
One things if for sure, yeah, if you're single, you don't really have to worry about anyone else but yourself, that is very true. It is definitely easier. You don't have to compromise your wants and needs at times and that's hard to do for a lot of people including myself.
But on the other hand, you don't have someone emotionally supporting you from a bad event in your life (heck, even if you're with someone, sometimes you're with an asshole so that doesn't happen!). You also get to become physically intimate with someone in that sense. That is important for younger folks or those who are in their child-bearing years.
This is a great question.
I think it can be depending on your priorities and where you’re at in life.
I've never worried about what he was doing or if he was cheating because I’ve trusted my partners.

It really depends on who you’re with and what their history is.
If they have a great track record with you and with others, then you just need to trust them and get out of your own head.
If they have a poor track record and they’ve hid things from you before or lied to you before or have cheated in the past before, then it’s going to be a lot harder to trust them — since they have given you concrete reasons for not trusting them.
Date someone with integrity and good values, and you can avoid all of that drama.
If you want a relationship to have the chance to thrive though, you HAVE to trust your partner.
There’s no way around it.
If you want to be with them, you’ll have to put your trust in them, otherwise that distrust will eat away at the relationship and destroy it.
And if you can’t trust them anymore?
Then it’s time to break up.
Move on and find somebody that you CAN trust.
Depends on who your partner is. If they make you feel more alone than you were single. Then they’re not right for you. So stay single.
I’d say it’s a mixed bag. But don’t worry for the wrong reasons. I mean, obviously infidelity happens, but you can’t live your life in avoidance of relationships based on a fear of that. You gotta roll the dice sometimes.
Broadly speaking…that’s the mixed bag. Obviously it can be annoying as hell having to make personal sacrifices for somebody else, even small ones that just affect your routine because THEY need something. But there are also things they’ll hopefully do for you that make your life better or easier at their inconvenience.
I was single from like 21/22 until 27/28. I would see girls, probably glorified FWBs, in most cases, but no big commitments. I did what I wanted, everyday. New Madden comes out for PS2? (Dating myself😂) I’m playing it every free hour and no one is gonna tell me not to. Go to bed when I want. Wake up when I want. Eat when I want. Go out when I want. Stay in when I want. It was an awesome time of life.
But living that way forever isn’t for everyone. If it is….. I’m jealous, lmfao. I think I just like having a lady by my side though, despite whatever outside headaches she might introduce into my life. When you find that one that can be your lover, your life partner, and your best friend…you feel on top of the world. Again, might not be for everyone, but I’d recommend giving it a try before deciding👍
Debatable. Being in a relationship can sometimes be stressful, but it doesn't have to be. Every relationship is different, and the level of stress or pressure you feel may depend on a variety of factors, including the quality of communication, compatibility, and the stage of the relationship. I've seen my share of stressful and stress-free ones as an outsider. I compare a romantic relationship to a more devoted friendship. I've noticed that the longer I've been friends with people, the easier it is to communicate with them and know their likes and dislikes so we avoid any triggers. I assume it can be the same.
Everyone says that it depends on who your partner is. But from what I've observed, many guys have no idea when their partner is cheating because a lot of women do emotional cheating for years and convince themselves it is innocent. That emotional cheating can turn physical if something bad happens in the relationship. Only a true man or woman of God can be trusted. I've worked with the most homely looking women you could imagine... but work with them for long enough and if attraction builds, you can see them just reacting emotionally and automatically. That occurs because they haven't learned to subdue the flesh too.
It's only stressful if you have the wrong partner, which unfortunately describes most women these days. A good woman will give her man peace not stress, and she will not be worrying him by going out to places she shouldn't like bars, clubs, exotic destinations, etc.
Tons of men aren’t good partners either. Why are you always singling out women, you sexist?
@Kingofkings1992 I don't date men so my answers are from the perspective of a heterosexual man. Also they are usually the ones in the wrong these days and most lack any sense of accountability.
@DextroShade. Yes, this.
For me it was the opposite, she had my back and I could fully relax with her. I had her back and she could fully relax with me. We were a true couple, a true partnership and enhanced each other. So in a healthy relationship you will have the opposite effect.
And to add, I always saw her as a highly competent person, I was always proud of how skilled she was. So when I wasn't with her I wouldn't be worrying about her either unless I knew she had to face something difficult I could not help with, because she could take care of herself perfectly if need be.
It can be... it really depends on the partner.
Chillllll😂😂😂😂😂
No. Not at all. Having a partner is one of the best thing, to be honest with ya. You won't be lonely. You will have someone to talk to. You will definitely get all the supports you could need and a shoulder to lean on🫂🫶♥️
if you are as insecure as you described, it must be a nightmare
fortunately, that's not the case for me. Trust is a base for my relationships
I don't have romantic relationship problems. My partner she likes to stay all hours of the night as she's gotten older in life and it's gotten worse. I'm an early riser and she thinks I need to be with her when I need to get rest. And then when I'm a bastard for being awake all night and trying to do my job I'm the source that's the asshole.
I think it is amazing... because it's been fucking amazing
By my personal experience relationship is stressful for me plus i feel i loose my focus from work but when i am single i am able to perform well and there is no pressure to make someone happy
Congratulations on winning a Troll of the day award.
Its more stressful then being single sure but it's not stressful in the way u describe bevause I don't have reasons to distrust her lol
It is... but I know it's because my partner is retarded.
If you really trust them that shouldn't be an issue and if you do have to worry about those things either you are with the wrong person or you need to work on self love.
It’s stressful to try to plan and trust again that’s why I’m single. I’m working on myself so I don’t hurt someone.
Definitely is if it's the wrong man or woman.
The right person adds peace to your life, not hell and stress.
when you're not ready for one or its like not a good fit
