Do you believe you need to be in a relationship to be all right?

[dudeinohio]

You know... you need a partner to be emotionally and mentally healthy. I think i do.

[Finchie40]

Not at all, you shouldn’t get into a relationship with someone assuming they are going to bring you happiness , you should already be happy with yourself first , a partner will just be an added bonus but again you should never get into a relationships with someone , expecting them to bring you happiness , you will be setting yourself up for disaster, if that’s the case ,

[Amy10223]

I agree.

[Bolt1104]

Nope I don’t think so personally as long as you have good friends and family you are alright without being in a relationship. But the number one person you need is yourself and self love is the best thing to have. I feel relationships are stressful and a waste of time if they don’t actually respect you so I’ve just decided to stay single because I do not feel like I have found a decent partner in my town. They have all been really horrible in some way shape or form so I’ve personally decided for now dating is not on my priority list and it’s just my preference. I’m focused on myself and getting myself together so I can be the best partner possible for whenever the time is right. I personally believe in Gods will and I am focused on my relationship with him as well so it’s just a waiting game you can’t force a relationship and I don’t feel you need it to be happy whenever the best relationship in my opinion is the one I have with God and he’s all I need.

Bolt1104. That is a brilliant answer for a 21 year old. It takes people a lifetime to figure out the same thing!! God, is a good man , he will keep you in good hands. You will meet your bride, and get rid of the " dusty's". ❤️🙏

[Bolt1104]

Thank you so so much! I really appreciate your kind words I definitely think that just waiting and being patient is key and making sure that God is number one in my life right now is best for me and focusing on my last bit of school I have till I graduate!

[Simslover92]

I think it's human nature to want to be in a relationship with someone. There are few people who truly desire to be alone and I bet even sometimes they wish to have companionship with someone.

[dudeinohio]

I agree

[HawkPerception]

Need to be in a relationship? No. But happier? Definitely. A HEALTHY relationship where you have a partner to support you, be physically intimate with, listen to you, experience life with you, and vice-versa is priceless and a huge factor in being extremely happy and content.

However, the opposite can be said about a toxic relationship. That's why it's so important to filter well and choose someone truly compatible with you.

[AI Opinion]

As a relationship coach, my aim is to help you find balance whether you're in a relationship or rockin' the single life 🌟. Needing a partner for emotional and mental wellness can be a double-edged sword. It's vital to cultivate self-love and ensure you're not relying on someone else for your happiness. After all, self-care is the ultimate partner in crime, right? 😉

[Rei13]

No. I’m happier in my current relationship than when I was single, but even if I wasn’t in a relationship I know I’d be okay

[Nikki1989]

It does complete a person. The people who say otherwise are in denial and will make up trivial reasons for being single as a defense mechanism. There are very few solid reasons for wanting to remain single.

[dudeinohio]

Absolutely

[Bitter_Sweet94]

No.

I think you need to be at peace with yourself first.

A relationship can add to your life, but it shouldn’t be the thing that stabilizes you.

If you’re not okay on your own, you’ll lean on the other person in ways that aren’t healthy.

Being with someone is a choice, not a survival tool.

And it feels a lot better when it comes from fullness, not need.

[Miristheiss]

Not in the micro, there are always outliers and exceptions but we are designed and built and society functions best when we are made up of strong family units.

Strong families build well adjusted citizens, no families produces criminals and chaos... a broken society.

[RandomGirl42]

Yes. I need someone to help keep me grounded and I believe everyone should have someone to love. 💖

[dudeinohio]

Exactly!

[PeachyPie93]

Obviously we can get by without someone but I much rather have someone to have to hold and be around.

[beenherebefore]

No you don’t. But also humans were bot made to be alone all the time or live in isolation, one of the positive sides of being in a relationship is companionship.

[FreyaRed]

No. I invested lot of time in a relationship and didn't get any useful dividend, therefore I take it easy. Is it here I take it, if it does not, I don't crave for it.

[OneViewpoint]

Nope. Not gonna put myself in that situation. I’d fuck up my life and someone else’s. Be in it for the right reasons or fly solo as long as it takes.

[RxR0954]

Honestly i just need to be in therapy and on medication to be alright. But my partner do make me feel happy

[sage2021]

Nope, nope, and nope.
I have lived alone most of my long life and have gotten by just fine!!
I do miss my late boyfriend though. He was the only person I really loved.😞

[Noredcarpet]

No, I don't. I was happy single, but it is nice to have someone too. I had people around me most times, could be why I did not feel lonely when single? I too was always terribly busy or occupied with my interests, maybe that helped?

[RavVid]

Can't agree with this. Relationships is where most of the trauma stems from.

Maybe I have only just picked up 'emotional labor' that women claim to do.

However If think men are forced to carry the emotional burden they create.

[Phoenix98]

Being in a relationship is nice and it is something I do want but I don't need one to be ok.

[aquamarine321]

No I don’t believe that, but being in a relationship does bring comfort knowing that you have some to love and someone to love you back

[Krys1722]

Absolutely not, it’s beautiful yes and men and women need each other but for you to be ok you don’t NEED to be in a relationship, you’d be fine either way

[snermcger]

Of course. What's the point without your other half? Boring life with no love.

[SoccerPlayer99]

I don't. If things ended, I don't think I'd be in a formal relationship for quite sometime.

[AngryCarl2]

No I'm all right being single. I would need to be in a relationship to be happy.

[Anonymous]

I don't know, maybe, I've never been in a relationship and I'm not really all right that much.

[Twodogs0525]

I never enjoyed being alone, I do believe I need someone to share my life with.

[Anonymous]

I think I too need to be in a relationship

And even when I am I'm thinking all my problems would be fixed is I was in a different relationship🙂

[Anonymous]

I think I need my boy to feel more alive. I feel like I am not working or active without one. I feel like something is empty

[Telekinetic-Potato]

No, but I'd rather be in a relationship.

[Eve996]

I would like to have boyfriends

[LiamJHayden]

No. I am content whether single or taken.

[loveyouoak]

Yes, I do.

[Deereeeee]

No lol that's weak
