5 Reasons Why I Am Happier On My Own Than In A Relationship

5. I can be selfish!

I am someone that can compromise, I compromise on occasions, I will make sacrificies and help those who are nearest and dearest to me when they fall on hard times and I will also help others out too, so I am not inherently selfish. However I like that I don't always have to compromise or make sacrificies for someone else. My time outside of a working environment is my time to enjoy however I please.

4. I don't need anybody

At my lowest points nobody was ever there for me. Every hardship in my life has been overcome by my own steely determination to beat all of the obstacles that are set before my beaten path. No family, no friends and no special woman ever came to my aid. I have never had anybody standing behind me through those dark times, so knowing that I can overcome anything set before me why do I need to depend on anyone else? The truth is I can only depend on myself, because I know I can get through these trying and testing times.

3. I have a drama free life

Most of my friends are in relationships, some are married and some have children - they are truly blessed and I am happy for each and every one of them but it comes with the price of drama and unecessary stupid arguments. My friend was telling me the other day how him and his girlfriend who recently moved in together were trying to decide which brand of TV to get and this resulted in a petty argument. I always hear my friends and even relatives moaning about their partners not allowing them to do this and do that and how they feel restricted. I am sure these men love their women but the truth is being in a relationship brings arguments, disagreements and a sense of restriction in what you can and cannot do. I don't like arguing, drama and being restricted and as a singleton I don't have to put up with any of that.

2. I can have sex as little or as much as I want and with different women

I am not tied down to one woman who may or may not give me a lot of sex, as a singleton and thanks to dating apps I have more opportunities as a singleton to meet like-minded women. Relationships used to be extremely desirable to men because it was often the only way some men could get regular sex, but that's not the case anymore.

1. I can enjoy my prime years as I am nearing the age of 30

30 is a man's prime, once he hits 30, he's can become a new man, a better man, a more appealing man and that creates opportunities. If you are tied down in a relationship you might not be able to take these opportunities such as working abroad, travelling aboard, meeting new women and generally enjoying your prime years as a singleton that can go whereever and do whatever he wants. Why change diapers or put up with a sexless marriage when you can go to a place like Goa with your hard-earned cash and spend it on a leisurely and relaxing holiday?

Relationships are not bad, they can and do bring a lot of people happiness, warmth, comfort and all of those fuzzy feelings but for me, I just don't need one and this MyTake is purely from my perspective and isn't meant to be seen as factual.
