Do romantic relationships always drain you 😴 ?

All relationships are draining. I’m an introvert.

[Iron_Man]

Yes they do the new woman nowadays

Thanks for most helpful award

A little bit. Love is just difficult and takes a lot of work. I also prefer being alone. Which seems weird since I've been in a relationship for 9 years but my husband being away for work a lot helps this since we aren't always together.

Toxic ones, yes. I’m easily drained right now as it is, even without a relationship. So I would imagine that a bad relationship would drain me like in the past.


When it SEEMED good, and healthy, then no, it wasn’t draining for me. With one, dealing with her family was a little draining, but otherwise, no. The relationship itself seemed pretty good for a while. It would help motivate me to work my butt off in school so I could have some of my weekends free.


But learning she was messing around for ages wasn’t fun. But I broke up with her almost immediately after, and as it wasn’t super serious and I hadn’t put years into it, and I was already kind of detached from the situation. I just worked through exams and stayed motivated and didn’t have much time ti be all that bothered by her.

[Texaskid1]

Very much so.

I don't like the idea of "checking in" or having to give some kind of explanation for everything or the expectation that I have to spend much of my waking hours with one person.

I tire of people quite easily and even with people that I have known for years I will feel the need to be alone for some time. Once I have seen them for one day I don't feel the need to be up their ass 24/7. Relationships are cumbersome and a drain.

[scott04sa22]

Agreed and putting all the extra effort just to keep them happy is so very exhausting. Also relationships ain’t very guaranteed. One minute you’re married then minutes or years she’s at your lawyer office demanding everything you owned then she runs off with all your stuff and now your sleeping at a motel or mom and dads house.

Seems like you have only been with drama queens.

The relationship I am in can be draining at times but mostly it is wonderful. I would guess most can be at times. People go through things like one gets onto an automobile accident and ends up in the hospital. That causes the other to pick up what the other was doing. The residence could get destroyed by a (tornado, hurricane, wildfire etc) which causes the couple having to find a temporary place to live until they can find a place of their own. If the person you are with is constantly nitpicking or make you feel like no matter how much you do is not good enough then that can be draining.

[scott04sa22]

I don’t have time for relationships and drama anymore.

[MysteriousDarkness]

@scott04sa22
Why is that?

[scott04sa22]

Everybody has busy life

[HeftyLefty]

I’m assuming you mean emotionally or mentally drained. If she’s the wrong girl, I could see that happening.

[scott04sa22]

Loners always needs recharges

[HeftyLefty]

I get that. I’m an introvert and sometimes being around people at work exhausts me.

[scott04sa22]

Yeah but if I’m in any relationship I just sleep more and don’t have the time to keep them happy.

All women they need only 3 thing from us.

Dick, food and money

[Snsl153]

No, they don't drain me at all. It's true that one can wind up in a bad relationship, but overall they make things better, not worse.

[LazerBean]

Not if you're with the right person and you are also being their right person.

[Pinay_ako]

No. Why should it be draining

[scott04sa22]

When I was with my ex girlfriend. She always drains me out but when I’m single it doesn’t.

[Pinay_ako]

Coz you weren’t happy with her

[scott04sa22]

Coz it’s with any girl I’m with in

[Changiis07]

then maybe you are the few that is better happy being single than committed. I myself have been single for a while cause they can be a little draining and even though I was happy it was work lol

[scott04sa22]

@Changiis07 relationships ain’t worth it anymore because it always drains me and the sex is too exhausting. I just don’t have the time and energy anymore

[scott04sa22]

Also the family don’t like my Bachelor status and they don’t understand it.

[Changiis07]

I get it. With so much going now not everyone is meant to be in a relationship. It's also okay to take time from that and be alone. Nothing wrong with that either. I was in a short relationship and I thought I would be married to him since we never argued, and his family loved me. Sad to say the relationship ended but not on bad terms. As for now I don't feel like dating anyone or go on dates. It's draining for sure lol I rather spend my time with my family and nieces. I also want to get a dog for company. Maybe later if I have the energy then yeah. So hope you get some time for yourself ;)

[scott04sa22]

There’s lot more too it than that. I been hurt way too many times and all the hardships has taken the toll on me. I don’t have time for tv drama‘s anymore. One minute she’s happy then the next she wants boobs bigger then Anna Nicole Smith so I can like her more

[Freyke]

Not if you find the right one. You will do things that you both enjoy, like a hobby so it won't drain you as much because it's just so easy to be around eachother and spend time together.

[Kaneki05]

No only speaking and putting up with people I don't like, don't know or can cope with.

[Guy13]

👍👍. But it’s the best thing ever simultaneously 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️.

[Andres77]

The only one that didn't was the one where she aggressively loved me back.
19+ years of wonderful marriage.
😊

[Hairylegs222]

Makes me feel good, not drained. The effort involved is easy for me because I do romantic things automatically.

[TexasRed95]

Trying to get in one sure does. Don't know if an actual relationship does or not.

[Jltakk]

Regular relationships drain me. I could only imagine romantic ones would do the same

[Nikki1989]

No, they have the opposite effect on me.

[boggboss]

Nope otherwise I wouldn't be in one

[Marianna546]

No!! Relationships are the best thing ever

[Snsl153]

Exactly! Much better than being alone and single.

[Marianna546]

@Snsl153 exactly

[Wubs3000]

Makes me more energized

[POSSY_HUNTER]

not always , but sometimes

[AFretiredTXn]

They can, just try to go slower.

[Ruenella_]

No... it gives me reason to smile.

[JohnK123]

Yes in a good way

[Blackcupcake]

nope

[goodgirlsteven]

not really
