Are relationships really worth it?

Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

Well...

My opinion is probably biased since I've been single for so long, so take my words with a grain of salt.

It depends on the person. If it's someone you really like and care for... as in you can yourself being with that person for the rest of your life, and they feel the same way about you? ABSOLUTELY. I'd say love and relationships are definitely worth it.

But obviously relationships are not easy: there's always the risk of rejection, being hurt, cheated on, lied to, them leaving you for someone else, falling out of love... the list goes on. So you have to weigh the pros and cons of relationships.

Some people will say yes. Others will say no.

I think it comes down to what you're looking for and why you want a relationship. I know that probably didn't answer your question, but that's because as I said, it comes down to each individual moreso than what others think or feel.

I think it depends greatly on the person.

For me, yes. I'm a very sociable, loving person who has a high sex drive, derives lots of pleasure from making people I love laugh and smile, and who does need other humans around in her life.

For me, relationships - whether friendships or romances - are vital to my mental, emotional, and physical health.

Getting someone else's view, their impressions and critiques, their passions - all of it enriches my life and experience more than I could on my own.

It's worth it for me. I think everyone finds their own worth - whether that's in solitude and contemplation or in the company of others. It's about finding what works for you and going for it.

Simple

Fake one are useless and real one are really productive and fruitful.
The kind of relationship you have or will get depends on:
1. The person you are
2. The person you choose
3. The stuff you did
4. The stuff you did not do
5. Your wisdom, commitment and honesty.

All these will say if relationships are worthy or not.

Yes and no. It depends on what you need as a person. It's surely better to have someone you can rely on and who will support you no matter what, but you shouldn't rush it. Also, it's not a requirement to live a successful and happy life.

If you find your "true love", it is worth with ;)

aWes0MeNeSs · Answer

It depends on the person, but my answer for myself is no. I really enjoy being alone and do not like much of what a romantic/sexual relationship entails. Family and close friends are all of the companionship I need, and I don't have to share/pool a living space, money, belongings, etc. Not to mention that I very highly dislike physical intimacy. I've also seen how complicated many relationships are and have no desire to have that in my life, which is already complicated enough as it is.

Rei02 · Answer

Like many here wrote, it depends on the person, because some like to be single, others look for sex, a Hollywood romance, settle down, form a family, meet people whom they can share same or similar interests, others are already fed up with their partners, they are unhappy with their lives, they cheat on the other, domestic violence, separations, divorces, etc.

But if there is something that can be worthy (as long as hell doesn't break loose with violence and cheating), is that you are living.

Raph37 · Answer

The only thing i can say is...
Do things at its right time.
Don't be in a hurry to get into a relationship.
Trust me... they use to call me "1000 lovers" in spainsh. Why? I loved woman so much that as soon as I can get out of a relationship I get into another.
I shouldn't be like that. I know.
But you must learn what you want to be with who is correct for you.
Otherwise, you will just waist your time and money. By the time you want to save up again. You waisted time and money on someone that doesn't want to be with you. And the money you supposed had. Doesn't stay with the one that ends up with you.

kyleelyn199723 · Answer

I think it’s depends. I think many people get into relationships for pointless reasons, but I wouldn’t trade my boyfriend for any other guy. Our love is nothing like I’ve felt before

Qdbrown · Answer

In the classic sense yes. But in the modern disposable relationships that can have your partner fleeing every better opportunity, no.

These days you have to wait until most people are old, not that attractive and nearly one foot in the grave to be with, and then it's sad to say that many just fear dying alone.

These days your replacement is a swipe away.

adamp98 · Answer

Yes you learn a lot from relationships. You learn about your mistakes and how not to make them again. You learn a lot from how people act and what they do.

When you find the right person that's when a true relationship truly shines and that's when you start to understand the word "LOVE" . So yes relationships are worth the time and effort even if they do go wrong.

Konztvntyne · Answer

It's worth if you come across the right person. If not it's just pain, disappointment and drama. I don't chase after relationships and I don't care what people say about my attitude. I'd rather stay single and happy than just being stuck in a toxic relationship. I choose to wait.

AlongCameCindy · Answer

Maybe the right ones, i've struggled to find any sort of happy relationship.

DiegoO · Answer

For me they don't, for the moment. I had an online relation that ended long ago, and I realized 2 things:

1. Online relationships are a waste of time and energy.
2. A relationship is not a competition. Date when you want, if you want.
3. Never, ever, ever ignore a red flag.

Starwitch23 · Answer

I don't know I've been happier living single. I feel suffocated in relationship. Also, I feel constant anxiety if my partner is getting bored of me and will leaves me.

Hadesheim · Answer

Yeah they worth no matter how many dissapointments you get, it is the only genuine way to have a chance of really be happy, even when you die you can't take anything with you in the afterlife just the smiles and memories of people you truly made happy

Anonymous · Answer

When it's a healthy one yes. And that's the key. So many people are married to drama that they accept toxicity as normal. I think that's why I have an easy time meeting women but have such a hard time connecting. I've had a lot of good examples of quality women in my life. And there are so few in this world anymore. Most are so broken they don't even understand what it is to be a woman anymore.

Don’t get me wrong, they are hard and they are draining, but there’s nothing better than loving someone and them loving you back

thathonestman · Answer

If you are with someone who is the right fit for you and you are both on the same page and you get along with each other’s families.  If those 3 things don’t apply, then no they are not worth it.

The older you get as a guy, the less sense it makes to get into a relationship. You literally gain nothing, especially from the modern woman.

Yes, I think so. However, it's ultimately up to you. What's worth it to me might not be to you.

Ally1122 · Answer

Honestly no. Unless you know they are your forever and your reaching a normal marrying age. Dating isn't worth your time. Your mental health and possibly physical health suffer when the bad news come if you put all your feelings in too fast

Anonymous · Answer

A relationship should form when something worthy of love comes from it. 99% of relationships are not worth it. For example, 80% of marriages end in divorce. Even more casual relationships end in separation. There was no point in them
