I think this is worth thinking about...I'm actually writing my fall paper on the fact that even in the most feminist, pro-independent woman eras, women still seemed to need to end up married, either to fit in with society, or for stability.
There's still obviously a tremedous emphasis on romantic relationships. Teens are starting to date form a younger and younger age. I just think sometimes it's important at some point to examine why we feel compelled to find that perfect Mr or Mrs. Right any thoughts? I'm just presenting the question: NOT bashing relationships Can you be single and perfectly happy in the long run? |

I've never exactly been in a real relationship, but I always hear my friends say one of two things. Either being single is the best because you dont 'have to worry about attatchment, or being in a relationship is the best because you have someone to always be with. I'm pretty curious about which ones the better feeling, and I'm not really sure why people feel so compelled to be in a relationship. I guess its so that they can have something to fall back on. sort of like a comfort zone? but im not really an expert.
