Would you rather have a relationship for the rest of your life with lots of highs and lots of lows, or be single for the rest of your life?

Just that really. Highs are amazing, lows are pretty unbearable. Or be single forever?

I had this choice. I chose single. I do not regret my decision one bit.

Single, for sure.

I’ve just come out of a relationship like this, it’s broken my heart and I’m lonely on my own but I’ve also found a calm that was missing from my life and I’d find it very hard not to have that any more.

Single

Having peace of mind is underrated

Single

Single.

Single!

Single. I've had a high and low one, the calm I felt wash over me when it ended was lovely.

Single. I decided in my thirties that my life will be peaceful from then on and I will sacrifice any relationship (romantic, family, friendship) if it disturbs the peace. A discussion is fine of course, but drama is a no-no.

Single - I've had the highs and lows, it wasn't that great.

Okay so I’m gonna put something different to throw in the mix. I think everyone has said single. However has someone who has actually been single all her life. Now mid 40s I’m gonna say relationship!!

Single.

Single but if you want a relationship it's possible to find a good one! I've been with dh 20 years and I'd say 95% off the time is contentedly happy with 2% lows and 3% extreme highs. Works for me!

Single for the calm and peace of mind. Good luck with your decision.

Everyone says single apart from one poster who has never been in a relationship.

There's your answer. Relationships do nothing for women. Women only tolerate them to have babies.

Single without a doubt!

Single with out a doubt, would only miss sex now and again but life on your own with just your kids is much easier than with a man in it.

Fantastic feeling isnt it. Also the freedom you have after while your single is blissful.

Single.

The highs and lows become a horrible addiction.

Single.

My home life is calm, cheerful, music-filled, stress free. It's such a relief.

Single.

Single no question

Yeh single, I’m not up for lots of lows caused by that type of relationship

Without a doubt, single.

Had 2 of those relationships. When the 2nd one ended I remember taking the deepest breath and just exhaled with a phew.... I won't ever tolerate that unnecessary drama again.
