Single, or not...

May 18 2011

JUST ANOTHER THOUGHT FOR THE RHP GROUP.... Do you think being with someone, in a relationship, enhances your life?...or is the single life your preference...?

    Relationship is the preference for me. . Of course it depends on the TYPE of relationship as I'd rather be single than be in a stagnant, boring relationship. . BUT.... I'd choose a great relationship everytime over being single. . Then again... I'd choose being single everytime over a BAD relationship ! . "To death do us part"... just doesn't do it for me. There's no guarantees with relationship, they are hard work and gradually die if either person stops putting in the effort. . Hugs, Saturn

    Single is good (makes me a little selfish tho) but it would be nice to have a special kinda friend. I'd like all the good bits of a relationship without the living together????

    Tired of all the bullshit tied up in a relationship at the moment. Long term though I'd prefer to be in a relationship...

    In relationship is more suitable for me, since I have been single for around 6 years since my ex left me. Now I feel lonely by myself again, it like no one can share my life with. All by myself at night, back from work or even going out. I am tired for this already.

    A bad relationship is not fun, no support and a whole lot of hard hard work. The thing that I miss the most about being in a relationship is the availability of sex. When you are single it is hard to roll over and help yourself when you wake up so bloody horny at two in the morning and you just know you aint going back to sleep without taking care of it. When you are single it really is a case of helping yourself. I would ultimately like to be in a relationship but I dont know if I want to live with someone else again. I like the fact that I dont have to consult anyone else before I do something. If I am at a friends place and have too much to drink, I dont have to ring someone and let them know I wont be home. If the friend says "why not stay, I'll just fire up the barbie" I dont have to let anyone else know. I can make that decision for and by myself. No matter how good the relationship is, the other person needs to know what you are up to and where you are occassionally. If I wake up one day and decide I am going to paint my bedroom hot pink with purple and green swirls....I can. It is my decision and I dont have to think of a partner who may just hate that colour combination. I like thinking for and about myself and no one else but the kids. But boy I do miss that continuity of good sex!

    I don't really think it is about wether one is better than the other. You can be single and happy. You can be married and happy and both situations can make you fucking miserable. At the end of the day it is really about how you feel about yourself. If you love yourself and are genuinely committed to being happy you will make sure you are. You will make the best of the situation you find yourself in and take steps to fix anything that is broken. Mrs Jones. (Happily married after being happily single) PS Mr Jones just commented that no one worth knowing is going to be interested in a person who is single and unhappy.

    both situations have their pros and cons, but I think it really depends on the people involved and what they make of it

    I feel it's about the "person" in your life that enhances your life. It could be a best girlfriend or a best male friend or a FB or a permanent boyfriend, fiance, husband, partner, lesbian friend, bi friend, boss, the list is endless. The word I am hearing is Enhancement!!! This is a great post and has triggered my little bit of grey matter in my head lol Adore everyones comments absolutely. But for me it's not cut and dry xxx I think I'll be back later on this one xxx

    A person's response to this question is obviously going to be dictated by their past relationship experiences and fortunately for me, mine have been positive. . Yes, I think that being in a relationship enhances my life. I am a Cancerian. I nurture LOL. I like relationships and I fair pretty well when I'm in one. As a result of this belief, single life is not preferable to me. However, I have been fortunate enough to have only had positive, enriching relationships and so I haven't had my view of them tainted in any way. I do not perceive them as stifling, restrictive, decision-inhibiting or any of the other negative connotations someone might attach to them if they have had relationships that weren't as happy and enriching as my own. I haven't foregone my independence or been confined in terms of personal growth whilst in one. A cynic might suggest I've just been lucky. I prefer to see it as a case of me being largely responsible for my own life and my own personal choices and being fortunate enough to have built relationships that didn't inhibit me in any way. . Relationship styles are unique to the people conducting them and there are good and bad, healthy and unhealthy - they're what you make of them though and no two relationships should be the same. . But I do firmly believe that my life is enhanced by the presence of another in it, for many reasons. I guess I believe that two is better than one *shrug* . . Flirty x

    mmm been through 3 marriages, once widowed....fair call reluctant for a permanent fulltime relationship...I am pretty much stuffed coz I won't ask a guy out lol (as previously discussed on another thread lol).... We are a hangover of relationships but it's how we deal with the past and how we pave the future. It's all up to the individual. Hang in the past or just be happy for today. I am just happy for today. Flirty, you sound a very strong personality and an awsome forum contributor. Adore what you say and agree. Two would be better than one if it was the right one. xxx

    Everytime I let my guard down to trust a man it backfires and I end up getting hurt. For this reason I am single. Its just not worth the pain and depression of being hurt. Taby.

    That's an easy one for me...relationship without a doubt. But then I would say that because I've been in the same one for just shy of 17 years and every year, it gets better and better.A relationship that is healthy and strong is a wonderful thing to have. I have my independence when I need or want it, companionship on demand and sex with a man who knows me inside-out and back-to-front! Not to mention having my best friend to share a house with; knowing that whatever fuck-ups in life I make, he'll be there to support me, guide me where/when I need it, or back-off and let me figure it out for myself.So, no, single is not for me....why would it be when I have all that!But, to each his/her own and that has to be the beauty of life!Just my thoughts,J

Don't give up because of some bad experiences - you're only 21 and have the rest of your life ahead of you. As Meeka say, be careful you don't miss something great. Not all guys are assholes :-)Your photos do look hot btw - very sexy xx

After you have been hurt by experts it's easy to feel that way. We tend to harden up and think it's best to stay single but it's not that simple. Getting knocked down and pulling ourselves back up is all part of acquiring wisdom, growing as people and gaining the kind of maturity that brings resilience and confidence. It's not easy but try turning the bad shit into a learning experience and you may find it easier next time.

    I have had a bad experience with one long term relationship. My wife who I had been with for 9 years started cheating on me. I was six months later I found out, I moved out and have never looked back!I would have another relationship in a heart beat. For me I feel more complete as a person caring and loving a woman.The question's you have to answer is: Are you happy being single or in a relationship?

    Being with someone in a long term relationship is awesome, but the day you stop undressing them with your eyes is the beginning of the end, you can be the best of friends , but if sex becomes like a colorless chore get the hell out or if possible after honest discussion enhance it with some playmates.. tho i am not sure it works often, i never got the honest discussion heheh but single can be empty and unrewarding at times especially as you get older and have to wait till your friends get a leave pass..
