Most people would agree that they would prefer to be in a relationship than alone. This is particularly true if the person in question is single at the moment. However, even at one’s lowest, it’s best to always have a few red lines, because a bad relationship is worse than just being alone.

I had that. She started off so nice, i trusted her completely. It was a difficult time but walking away from her was the best thing I have ever done.
Yeah, that's not fair at all. But you should watch for the signs too.
The opposite for me, how am I expected to hear what they're saying if I can't read it?
Like most of my family, I have a severe hearing loss. This is an absolute necessity for us.
It's really hard for me to process information, and quickly, so subtitles help. I have two ways to absorb info which makes processing faster and easier
dude i only watch Kdramas if someone said this I'd say "Ok are YOU going to translate this for me?"
Because dialogue is always super quiet and all other sounds are super loud. Also English is not my first language, I speak fluently but sometimes I miss some things without English subtitles.

Wouldn't hurt to be able to be funny on your own. My husband made a promise to himself to make me laugh every day. Sometimes it involves memes, but mostly it will be something he says.
...I'm a disappointment in bed that you absolutely should have to experience tonight...🤔 🙅🏽 🤭
That's what nightlights are for and idc what anyone thinks. I need just enough light to know my eyes still work ok when I wake up to go pee 187 times a night, but not enough to keep me awake.
A good pillow over the nose and mouth will stop that! Don't act like you haven't thought about it!! 👩🏼🦰
Just experienced this. He said she was "just a friend". I knew better but still tried it, I feel so stupid!
Very different standards of "clean" and "neat" can make one crazy!!
my biggest fear actually happened: partner not telling me what's bugging them and breaking up over it
Wanting to move in together. I’ve had several decades to realize that I hate living with other people. I just need my own place. Relationships where we meet up, do stuff, then go to our own homes are great. But I ain’t giving up my living alone for anything that’s not a cat.
Constant blaming/criticizing. Unwilling to look at their own actions. They think they're perfect or always right. No one is perfect, we all screw up from time to time. I need a partner who is focused on personal growth and development.
Your first three phrases best describe my biological "father" to a tee.
Load More Replies...My biggest fear is just dating tbh. Seems like a lot of trust and vulnerability is expected for any POTENTIAL relationship. I'd honestly rather start as friends, build trust then go to romantic. I ain't comfortable just blurting out my deepest thoughts and feelings to, essentially, a stranger.
Finding the right person then they get really sick, or worse die young.
BP, the poll at the end needs an "all of the above" option. All four of those are fundamental deal breakers for me and I can't choose just one.
Am I going to lose him to PTSD/anxiety/depression and/or addiction relapse?
