I think the costs are reduced & you get more money on benefits if you are single & living alone.

I don’t have to “answer” to anyone about decisions
I don’t get into arguments/drama that make the neighbours cringe
I don’t have to pick up after a possible disorganized slob
I don’t have to be disappointed if someone can’t remember my birthday
There’s no mother-In-Law to make me feel unworthy of her son because I’m ill
(The list is really endless.)

This being said, I think there are benefits and disadvantages to both single and partnered. There is no right or wrong for everyone. Every person needs to decide what path they want for themselves. Compromise is important, and there’s a ton of compromise in any relationship, but this can also lead to resentment.

No arguments, stress, nagging, you can be the person you want to be.

There wouldn’t be benefits for me if I was single.

My husband rubs me the wrong way sometimes… but wow was I miserable before we met.

I miss the single life at times.

No screaming kids. No annoyances from partner. Sleep whenever you want. Only have to think of yourself. To be fair I did hate being alone and single. Never imagined one day I would see the positive in it but I do now.

For me too the main benefit is my liberty, that and only having to deal with my own problems/worries and not someone else’s too.

Not having to hear WHAT DID YOU BUY THIS TIME every time a new lens arrives in the mail.

Yes. Freedom. No compromising. No fights. No one to entertain. You can work on your projects all day if you have hobbies that take a lot of time.

Relationships should not be pushed on everyone.

You can be as clean or as messy as you’d like.

Many. It’s way better imo. You get to focus on other things.

I like being single and living alone. You don’t have to worry about being abandoned or becoming divorced.

I’m surprised no one mentioned the best part of flying solo- you will never get betrayed by the one you love and experience that heart-shattering pain. You won’t have to grieve the loss of a loved one. Love is a spice that adds flavor to life, but trust me eating it “bland” is not the worst that could happen

Not being pressured to hang out with people all the time… No one but myself pressuring my own growth. No arguments about ■■■■. Not disappointing someone else. Not being disappointed.

The negatives of a relationship far outweigh the positives.

I’m not against relationships by any means. I support the idea of a functional relationship… alas it is a hard concept for me to grasp.
