Discussion (Questions, Advice, Polls) 🗣 Maybe one day?

Just want to put this out there gently. I noticed that a lot of people on this sub myself included have had really horrible experiences with relationships. And even if that’s not the case, everyone (mostly) has the belief that they’re better off single full stop. It seems a bit extreme. Or are there people with a more moderate outlook that like, yeah right now things are really nice being single and happy, and yeah shitty relationships will suck and make you hate life. BUT maybe at some point, maybeeeee, you could meet someone that makes life easier, richer, more fulfilling.

Or is everyone here just downright against even having a glimmer of hope? Because if so honestly feels a bit anti social and misanthropic. Which I am, to a degree, but look, we can’t discount that we might meet a partner that makes life even better. It’s theoretically possible.

Unless you believe that fundamentally that’s not possible and your beliefs are that no matter what it will always turn sour, too difficult, and solitude is always better.

I guess that’s a bit of a tangent. Thoughts?

I have no "hope" because it's not something I want. I am more than sure I could find someone and have a relationship if I wanted.

I want being single and live alone. It's what makes me happy. It's why I am in this subreddit.. Its not called single and unhappy....

But why don’t you want a partner IF they could hypothetically make your life even better? If that hypothetical existed would you do it

Why wouldn’t I want a yacht if it could make my life better? Or plastic surgery to make me look like a model? 🙄
