Does a relationship really make you happy?

it is definitely a need to be in a relationship, but unless the more basic needs are fulfilled in your life, you cannot attain happiness just by dating. For example, if you are homeless, or insecure nothing could make you happy, and a hungry man is always an angry man.

I'm like probably more happier not in a relationship but that's probably because most of my life I have been in one so it's like I miss being single and not worry about planning events like Valentine's or Christmas or birthdays. Plus thinking what to buy a guy isn't fun. . But there are times also when they drive me nuts in a relationship that I go on a vacation alone for a week or could even be of longer. But that's just due to the fact that males and females think differently and all so sometimes hard to understand each other.

It can make you both happy and unhappy. It really depends on the partner and how long you have been together in my opinion.

Positives of a serious relationship:
Companionship and all the stuff that comes with it.
You tend to be more grounded when in a relationship.
Its good to have someone actually deeply care about you besides your family. Particularly nice to have that feminine attention.


Negatives:
Its emotionally, financially and time consuming. In a serious relationship, many people prioritize your partner first. It results very little time to just hang with friends especially If you already have a busy schedule.
The obvious urges for other women that you can’t or at least shouldn’t pursue.
Often times results in a lack of space or less time to yourself than you would like
You can feel trapped

Positives of being single:
No relationship stress
Live by your own schedule.
Live by your own wants and desires

Negatives
Some people to be more reckless when they are single. They will out more and drink more.
It gets boring and lonely sometimes
Possible frustration

How come urges for other women is a negative. That shouldnt be in the first place if ure in a serious relationship . do men really feelthat way that u generlaized . oh shit i am in a reltionship . i cant screw no more

Yes many do, especially when you are younger. People who are older a lot of the time got things out of their system. So when they find someone they feel compatible with they feel like ok I can settle down with this person I love, I have already experienced what I wanted and relieved my self of curiosity.

But younger individuals particularly males often want variety. As far has personality, physical features, body types, perhaps ethnicities/race, and so on. Also factor in the inevitable that your relationship after a certain amount of time, whether it is a year, two years, or 5 years, they have already exhausted many conversations, you are often bored or just content with the same thing over and over, and you want to experience different women. People are going to try to find fulfillment, pleasure, and a way to relive themselves of curiosity, and perhaps boredom.

my girl was so hot when i was young i couldnt even look at anyone else and that all transitioned in great love making

Basically if he behaves it's all good. Because if there's ever an issue...it's something he says and I'm just like "for real you're just gonna ruin this perfect day with negativity and of what "might" happen." Ugh. I need a punching bag.
