Is it normal rather be alone than in a bullshit relationship

I see a lot of people around me prefer to stay in messed up relationships, just because they do not want to be alone. I don't know why I cannot do that. If a guy does something big to offend me, or if I have an instinct the relationship is for shit (him not respecting me etc). Then I just call it quits completely. Afterwards I feel alone, yet I try to deal with that feeling and eventually get over it at most in a week.

Is it normal for me to be detached easily by people? Or preferring to stay single to avoid the drama? I ask this because I rarely had friends or met people that acted in this way.

    I had a relationship like that,I didn't hold on for long. I believe the same thing and I fought for a little while because I loved him so much. he became very possessive and protective of me,not to mention JEALOUS,we've been apart for about 3 months now,and he seems to be back to his old self. It makes me miss him sometimes,but no way would I ever deal with BULLSHIT again. I'm glad somebody else feels the same about this! :) I'm perfectly happy single or in a relationship.

  • This is so me! Its waayyyy better to be single than in a terrible relationship out of fear of being alone. It's pathetic really when you see couples that are miserable and are seething with hatred and jealousy towards each other but they aren't strong enough to break it off.

    You need to change your thinking. Every female thinks she can change a player but it's the girl who really needs to change . because every player is on a mission to find that one girl that stops his desire .

    • Did you even thoroughly read what I posted? I choose not to be with people like that. I obviously know I cannot change people so I leave them if I have a problem with them. Derp

    I feel exactly the same. Being single is better than being with someone who is abusive, right? I'd say it's much better.

    Too many times I have seen people stay in a disaster of a relationship where neither person is happy. And I've found it's usually the same thing, which would be the guy treating the girl like shit, yet she stays with him and he uses her. Baffles me.

  • Your question should have been a statement. What's the point of getting hurt for no good reason anyways? And dealing with drama and all the bullshit that comes with it.

    Your concepts also apply to other relationships as well, not just boyfriend/girlfriend ones. For instance, I try not to associate myself with people who have a bad nature.

  • I agree with you.

    But try not to be so harsh in your judgment of those who do because you don't really know what it's like for them and it's not usually as simple for them as what you've laid out in your post.

    I agree with you completely. So many people hang onto bad relationships just because they are terrified of being alone. If being alone is better then I go for that.

      You've changed your colour!

        It's weird how much I notice people by their colour too. I think I was trying to hide a bit behind a new colour (or an old one, in my case). Bit fed up of it already, though. I feel like I'm wearing the wrong clothes, or something.

          I will forever imagine you as I always have; decked out in a purple suit like Willy Wonka. Top hat included.
