You may lament being single. How it sucks to not have
someone to share your life with. How you get lonely or miss that physical and
mental connection. You may look at other couples enviously and wish that you
had someone to snuggle in with.
" Being single isn't the time to be looking for love, use that time to work on yourself and grow as individuals."
Through being in a relationship can be great, there
are many times when being single beats being in a relationship. Relationships
have their downfalls, and even though couples are always smiling, blissful, and
happy on social media or in public, every relationship has its more complicated
dark side. If you’re single, be glad you can reap these benefits.
1.
You won’t be unhappy
Many people stay in an unhappy relationship much
longer than they should simply because they’re scared to be alone. When you
stay in a bad relationship, you are not only opening up yourself to the stress
and guilt that comes along with staying with someone who isn’t right for you,
but you’re missing out on the other people who could make you happy.
2.
You have time for yourself
Being single allows you to focus on yourself, without
the distraction of another person. You can train for a marathon, take up a new
hobby, or focus on growing your career. Most important because there will be
times in your life when the only person you can rely on and trust is yourself,
so take the time and effort to build that relationship.
3.
You can focus on your friendship
How many of your attached friends stay in on a Friday
night, skip out on a friend’s birthday, or blow off their pals for a date
night? When you’re in a relationship, your world begins to revolve around your
partner. There simply isn’t the time to build and develop strong, stable
friendships. Being single affords you the time and energy to build lasting
platonic relationships.
4.
You have freedom
Single people can do what they want, when they want.
There isn’t anyone to check – in with or someone to guilt them into doing
something else. If you want to stay out late and eat dinner at midnight, then
you can. If you want to spend the whole day mountain biking, no one will stop
you. Bring in a relationship is all about compromise, but when you’re single no
compromise is needed.
5.
There’s no one to be jealous
Jealousy in some form or another always pops up in
relationships. Whether you have to deal with your partner’s jealously or you’re
the jealous one, it takes a lot of energy to deal with. When you’re single,
though, you don’t have to worry about whose texting who or why your phone calls
are going unanswered when your partner is at happy hour with new co-workers.
Jealously requires a lot of time and energy to control, which when you’re
single you can funnel that and energy to other areas of your life.
6.
You don’t have to force relationship with other people
When you’re dating someone, you get involved in all
sorts of force relationships. You have to spend time with their family, and you
may even be expected to build relationships with their pets, co-workers, and
exes. Not only does being in a relationship with someone you love take time and
energy, but the amount of your life that you have to give to people who you may
not even like can be overwhelming.
7.
You can have guys’ (or girls’) night, minus the guilt
Both women and men may write off their partner’s
night out with friends as a time to drink too much and get into trouble, but
these outings really do a person good. Men’s health highlights research says
that friendship reduces physical ailments and increases contentment later in
life. Hanging with friends on a regular basis also reduces your stress levels.
When you’re single, you can join in on the camaraderie without the guilty trip
from your significant other.
