Single and miserable
Or married
And miserable?

If you marry right, you live with your best friend.

I prefer being single and miserable, because then you don’t feel bad dragging your partner down.

I’ve dated before but I’ve never been in a real relationship. I’d like to try dating again. I haven’t dated really in 5 years or so. Hopefully it’d lead to a relationship though. I’d see how that goes for a bit. Then I’d tell you if it’s better to be single or in a relationship but I have nothing to compare it to. I’m happy being single as it is. Although at least would like to try dating. I don’t feel comfortable where I live with talking to Anyone. Maybe it’s paranoia. Sometimes I think changing where I live would reverse the paranoia. I wonder how I’ll do in Florida in a fresh environment im leaving in 2 days for a week to be there

Alone, at least that’s my take on it.

Being miserable with myself is hard. Being miserable with a partner is even worse. Toxicity feeds off itself, I’ve seen enough unhealthy relationships for one life time.

Nice one dude!

Actually that’s a good point. But it is good to have someone to help you out, would it be best to find someone with the same condition or would that worsen it?

Definitely better to be single and miserable so that I don’t project my misery on a partner and drive them mad. And likewise the other way.

Two miserables together is like adding fuel to the fire.
It multiplies the misery imo.

Whereas on own, one has space to deal with the misery better

You got a point. Someone who doesn’t expect to build a normal family. Someone who has the same need for periods of solitude.

A mature partner who knows her / his weaknesses and strengths.

In my country there is a dating site for people with MI. But its a very small country (Denmark) and not many users.

Damn way to shoot the optimism down

‘Miserable’ would be a step up from what I’m feeling right now.
