Love & Sex

If you do this in a relationship, then it's better to be single

We all play the game of games just a little differently. And so no relationship is the same, and that's a good thing. Because what works for you may not work at all for someone else.

Yet there are some guidelines to follow when it comes to love. Because some wrong things to do in a relationship… Well. Then you might as well ask yourself if you'd rather be single.

Can you tick these points off your list? Better think twice, then.

  1. You give more than the other.
  2. You put yourself and your own dreams and wishes aside.
  3. You always justify the other person's bad behavior to your friends, while in your heart you know that what he or she is up to isn't really great.
  4. You often want to check his or her phone because you suspect something is going on.
  5. You derive less satisfaction from your relationship and secretly look elsewhere from time to time.
  6. You see no future with or without a wedding and baby.
  7. You prefer to spend time on the terrace with friends than at home on the couch with him/her.
  8. You think ‘oops’ when you hear him or her come home.
  9. You have zero interest in sex and you never do it anymore..
  10. You talk little to each other, no longer laugh together.
  11. You do nothing together, but everything separately with your own friends..
  12. You find the other boring.
  13. You find others in your life much more fun and exciting.
  14. You want to know what it's like to be in bed with someone else.
  15. You flirt.
  16. Your partner flirts.
  17. You notice that the other is not genuinely interested in you.
  18. You are also not really interested in your partner's life.
  19. You complain to your friends and family about your lover.
  20. You don't feel good about yourself and you feel unseen, unheard, unattractive.

Enough signals, then. And honestly: it's not that bad to be single, right? Better happy on your own than unhappy together.
