I’d Rather Stay Single

I prefer staying single than being with someone who is wrong for me. I refuse to fight for someone who doesn’t match my efforts and my love for them.

In my opinion, it’s better to be single than staying in a relationship with someone with whom you have nothing but history. Or because you love them, you are used to them, and you can’t imagine not having them in your life.

I’d rather be single than being in a loveless relationship. In a relationship that is simply not working for me. A relationship that makes me sad and anxious and brings hurt into my heart. A relationship that every fiber of my being tells me to leave in the past.

Being single is better than lying to yourself and ignoring the red flags that are right there in front of your eyes. Being single is better than pretending everything is fine when it’s not and you just know deep in your heart that they will never be the person you want and deserve.

Being single is better than clinging onto a relationship because you fear that you’ll end up alone, that you won’t find someone else again, that you have wasted so much time of your life for nothing and you are terrified of having to start over again.

I would always choose to be single over being in a relationship with someone who doesn’t make me happy. I refuse to be the only committed person in the relationship and do all the work, carry all the weight on my shoulders. I refuse to accept disrespect and maltreatment as a norm, especially when I’ve been respectful, loving, and willing to make sacrifices.

Being single is better than being with someone who is not meant for you.

Being single is better than arguments, tears, and constantly wondering what is the problem. Being single is better than forcing things over and over again.

Finally, I would rather be single than torture myself while I prolong the inevitable end. Because deep down I know that love is not supposed to be hard and sometimes things must fall apart for better things to come.
