Is it normal to not want to be in a relationship?

I know what you mean. I've loved being in relationships but I don't want to be in one now. I've got enough going on that I need to sort out first. Sometimes I think I might never be in one again.

I've been single for three years. I have more sex, more money in my pocket, more sanity and I can do whatever the hell I want. Not a bad life.

It works for some people, but not for others.

Honestly, when I was single, I was too wild. I have a hard time sticking to one person and I would end up holding multiple affections and dragging poor victims into the labyrinth that was my love life.

Being in a committed relationship has been very beneficial to me, but I understand that some people aren't as wacky as I am.

Relationships are not for everyone and they just may not be for you. It's all good.

Agreed. The only real benefit is sex and even that gets old after a while.

It's also inconvenient to have someone with an emotional attachment to you since it limits your freedom and forces you to make commitments that you really wouldn't have made if you weren't in a relationship. Any life goals you had can also go out the window once the relationship gets really serious. Also, pretending to care about what someone else's day has been like and going through those phases where you're expected to use small talk and profess your 'love' to the other partner can be extremely irritating and arkward.

It is normal. I haven't dated anyone in 4 years, and I personally feel less stress on my shoulders. But it would be nice to have a bf and I miss being in a relationship sometimes. Friends are great but sometimes you need a little more than that.

I think its normal yes, well there are many reasons to not want a relationship but i for instance had quite a few bad relationsgips and i honnestly feel very tired emotionnally so i really need time for myself at themoment ,plus i feel a little disillusioned so i wonder if u can still find love if urself dont believe in it .

Yup, I'm avoiding any type of relationships for a long while already. And it works perfectly.

A lot of areas in my life improved significantly since I spend all my time and cash on myself :)

It can be a hassle if you are the only one putting any real effort into it. Also, if the love isn't reciprocal then someone's going to be very hurt.

However, being in love feels fantastic. And being in a supportive committed relationship actually eases the burden of everyday life because you are constantly building each other up with kindness, affection and understanding. You are on the same team and, out of love, want each other to be happy and succeed. You are no longer one, you are two.
