I don't think it's whether you are doing it right or wrong thats the question, its more about the fact that should it be at the top of one's priority list?Custard_Angel said:If it isn't a good experience, you're doing it wrong.
You're either with the wrong person or are not ready to be in such a relationship.
Relationships are great. Everyone should try it.
I personally love writing as much as my girlfriend, I love her to bits, but I was hardly lonely, unhappy or incomplete before I got into a relationship with her to be truthful with you, it may seem slightly harsh to some people, but it's true, before meeting her, writing novels and drawing is what made me happy, it still does, but now it takes up 50% of my happiness in order to fit my love for her into my heart as well.
So what I'm saying is was my relationship my be all and end all? No, not at all. I'm of the belief that you find someone when you are ready and if you want to, better to be alone and happy then in a relationship to appease others. Is it really that SAD to be single? No, it's not pathetic at all, no one should feel they HAVE to be in a relationship as long as they are happy in various other ways.
