7 Relationship Dramas That You Don’t Have to Deal with as A Single Person

Many people think that you can only have a happy and successful life if you have a healthy relationship. The house, tree, animal is what they all strive for: a standard bourgeois life. For many who pursue this goal, it equates to a happy life. But what no one tells them is that you can also be unhappy in this seemingly perfect life. The reality is that you don’t need a relationship at all to live a happy life.

Maybe you have been single for a long time and although you initially enjoyed your single life, you are now starting to long for a relationship. While others walk hand in hand on the street, you walk there alone. It seems like they are living the life you would want to live. But that’s how it seems, because all that glitters is not gold. We all know that things are not always as beautiful as they seem. But sometimes we just need to be reminded.

7 relationship dramas that singles don’t recognize

One of the main benefits of single life is that you don’t have to spend time dealing with those tragic relationship dramas. No relationship is all roses and moonshine. There will always be problems that you don’t have to think about as a single person. These are 7 relationship dramas that you don’t have to deal with as a single person. This way you can remind yourself that it is also fine/great to be single.

1. You don’t have to meet up with your partner’s friends

“What do you mean I have to come with you to your friends?” One of the things to consider when you are in a relationship is each other’s friends. How stupid is it that you have to give up your own free time to hang out with your partner’s friends. While you don’t want that at all. Of course it can also be great fun if you get along well with each other, but if you have nothing to do with these friends, then it is logical that you would rather do something else.

2. You don’t have to compromise on your dreams

When you are single, you can decide for yourself what is a priority in your life. Maybe you really want to take a nice tour , complete a study, move abroad or start a career. If you are in a relationship, you should make your relationship a priority. You probably won’t be able to follow all your dreams anymore, but you will have to make compromises to make your relationship work.

3. You don’t have to argue with your partner

Discussions and arguments occur in a relationship; sometimes even several times a day. These cannot be prevented. It is a part of both healthy and unhealthy relationships. Yet it is often quite tiring to have to fight that battle again and again. And if we’re completely honest: it’s not the most fun part of a relationship. Endless discussions, arguments over small things and daily irritations can be extremely tiring. As a single person you don’t have to deal with that and you can just live your own life – the way you want.

4. You don’t have to take your partner into account

It’s part of it: taking your partner into account. Even if you don’t want to do that at all when you really want to do something. One of the main advantages of being single is that you can do whatever you want. You have all the freedom in the world and don’t have to take a partner into account. You can decide where you are going and what you are going to do and you do not have to first ask whether there is time for this and whether your partner agrees.

5. You don’t have to worry about your partner changing

Nothing in life is fixed. You probably don’t worry much about whether your family will leave you one day, but with a partner this is different. Especially in the first months of a relationship, it can turn you into an insecure person. Because you’re not sure if he or she will suddenly change his mind and leave you. All this can bring a lot of fear and uncertainty, which a single person doesn’t have to worry about at all.

6. You don’t have to feel jealous

Unfortunately, jealousy is a very normal and common emotion in a relationship. Even though you know that your partner and that other man or woman are just friends, you will sometimes still feel a pang of jealousy for these other people in his or her life. And although you know that your thoughts sometimes have a life of their own, it is very annoying that you feel that. Especially if you analyze everything and become unsure about the situation.

7. You have a lot fewer responsibilities

A relationship also comes with new responsibilities. Especially when a relationship becomes more serious, you are given responsibilities for the household, finances and the compromises you make. As a single person, you don’t have to worry about any of these things. You only have your own responsibilities to deal with.

Relationships are hard work

Of course, you don’t have to be a genius to know that a relationship and being with someone else is not always easy. Relationships are all about taking each other into account, sacrifices and good communication. With a bit of luck this will all go well and you can make nice compromises, but this does not always have to be the case.

When you are alone you don’t have to take anyone into account. You can make your own choices. You can choose when you do what, who you meet with, what you will eat and when you will go out; what freedom, wonderful.

Self-love is the best love

Of course this is a bit cliché, but it is still very important to love yourself . The only kind of love you can always count on is the love you give yourself. That’s why you really don’t need a relationship to feel complete. Forgive yourself for mistakes you have made and love yourself. This way you can have a wonderful single life and enjoy life to the fullest.

Boss of your own life and completely independent

It is a wonderful feeling to be completely independent . You don’t need a relationship to get things done. Your friends and family can help you with things you cannot do yourself. And as a single person you find out how much you can actually do. You also manage your own agenda.

You can do what you like and discover the world around you. In addition, being single does not automatically mean that you are lonely. It is actually important to be alone sometimes and learn more about yourself.
