Is being sinlge better than having a not-your-ideal partner?

I have lived as single for one year and throughtout I have heard so many things from my friend that I should have a boyfriend atleast to know what a relationship is, well this was about five years ago. But I was not very interested to have someone in my life as I love being single. So to live as a single is to have unlimited freedom and when I am in a relationship now I find it better than being single because we get to know many things together which is just so wonderful. I would prefer to be single than be with a partner who is not the ideal one- arranged marriage as you said it.

You're right, there are so many reasons for one to choose to be single. From my experience... I chose to be single, than to be in a relationship, with someone, who does not deserve to be the father of my child... or my partner. I think this is better than to push myself to be in a relationship, that's not healthy because neither of us is happy with each other. Sure, we can opt to work it out for the sake of our child... but, as early as now, I can imagine ourselves years from now... and I don't think our child will be happy to see us the way we are now. I strongly believe that we're both better off without each other. Seeing him in another relationship now, with the happiness I can't give him is a lot better for me. I am also happy with my son, and I don't have to hurry into another relationship. I am taking it one baby step at a time... making sure that my son is my priority in everything I do.

In my opinion, that is better, because how can you be happy if you are not happy with the one you are with, you should be happy with him/her or you should love her / him before anything else. When you don't have the same feeling it is unfair with them so you better be sure about what you are feeling before anything else goes wrong or be single for life.

The next person I date I want to be able to think that she is the best thing that happened to me. I feel like dating is worthless unless you see the person as being as good as you can do. When you no longer see the person as being that special I say it is time to break up. Dont get me wrong I want to get married, and will keep looking until I find the right girl but the girl I marry I will be in love with.

wow thats a really good question.. yes absolutely true.. and some of the people rush to be in a relationship that has no meaning.. i guess its wrong.. its better to b single than being in a relationship that u pretend its going well but its really not going well.. thats d actual problem...
