What are some pros & cons to being in a relationship? Is the heartache they can cause really worth any good times that might be had? How many times can a heart be broken before it can't be fixed? I'm really considering being by myself for the rest of my life. Try to convince me otherwise.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop? Just like your question about how many times a heart can be broken, it really depends on how strong a bite is placed upon it.
The Pros of being in a GOOD relationship:
Someone there for you no matter what
Free back rubs
Warmth under the covers
shared household chores
Love
The Cons of being in a GOOD relationship:
Compromise.
There are no pro's to being in a bad relationship. This is not the time to take the attitude of this is the best you can do. Get out. You will find better.
Good Relationship material: Someone who loves and respects you, and treats you as well as you treat them. Someone who cares about what you want as much if not more than what they want. Someone who you can trust.
If you don't have these things, then no the relationship is not worth it.

There's worse things than being alone. Independence and solitude are good things. Nevertheless, humans would avoid all attachments (w/family members, friends, and lovers) if they never wanted to take the risk of being hurt. It comes w/the territory. It's your decision though if you choose to go through life solo, but it seems like you're waiting for that special someone to convince you otherwise. Good Luck

UP SIDES
-the great feeling of being loved
-sharing your love
-having someone to be there with you in the bad and the good
-knowing that they will love you no matter what
DOWN SIDE
-they can cheat
-THEY CAN CHANGE OVER TIME-FOR BAD
-they might meet someone they like more then they like you
-they might just be using you for sex
relationships have many ups and downs...it justy depends on the people how good or bad they make the experience

Well Fairydust I like you had given up on love after my last marriage. Having three failed marriages behind me I thought that I would end up a lonely old man and go out of this world alone. But fate has a way of looking after us and so I was lucky enough to met someone who is very much my equal. Neither of us was looking for anyone but we met and bang hit it off right away. Our hearts are pretty hearty and can withstand a lot more abuse of relationships then we give it credit for. Do not go sour on either yourself or the opposite sex, but believe that there is someone out there who is looking for you and do not be surprised if you met one and other when you least expect it.

You must be reading my mind.
Pros - sharing life, evening talks, company, fun, interest and bed. Having someone there for you when you need them. Not bearing all the burden of everyday problems. Having your back covered when you looking the other way. Someone to grow old with.
Cons - Dealing with someones baggage. Sharing your time, money and interest. Making sacrifices. Coordinating responsibilites. Compromise. A chance of being stuck with a person that isn't fair and demands all you attention.

I think the key is you have to have chemistry. If you don't, its a waste of time. Also, you gotta be cautious with the person you chose and not settle for less. Its better to want then need!!! Being single also has its advantages too, but remember you learn what you like/dislike in every relationship.

Most definitely worth it.
Having someone to share all your joy with and that shoulder to lean on when you need it is the greatest thing. Watching a movie while holding the one you love is unbelievable.
A broken heart will always be fixed as long as you are true to yourself.

look, that sucks. you be responsive to what sucks greater? it is only area of the approach. i'm no longer likely to endanger a wager at how previous you're, yet i pass to assume you have had below 3, possibly as many as 5 relationships and that they've been all the two unfufilling or doubtless swimming just to end by means of flaws one only sees finding back. or maybe no longer, possibly you have had countless relationships and you have only had countless soreness in somewhat time and that's ok too, the two way, you're nevertheless lacking the factor. once you look at a feminine you think of you like why do you like her? ask your self that. in case you won't be in a position to arise with an answer previous "she's surprisingly" or "she became superb to me" then attain deep returned into the pile and %. yet another. i've got lived countless lives in an quite short cases and from somebody who confronted an identical situation to a diverse right here is my ultimate suggestion: Wait until you detect the lady who blows your socks off, then alternatives them up and says "did you unfastened those?". watch for the single that could end your sentences in that no longer creepy way. watch for the single that is only the nicely suited volume of resembling your self, so comparable she could desire to be your twin yet no longer so comparable that is uninteresting. watch for her. possibly she would be in a position to no longer come and ok, it is fantastic, too. possibly that is greater of a situation with you than your alternatives wherein case i won't be in a position to help you with what i've got been given yet while the stars align and that i did no longer omit my wager, this could help.

Relationships....hmmm, we have to take the good, the bad and the ugly, and after enough time, each relationship has its fair share of each of these. The question is, can you overcome the bad and the ugly to enjoy the 'good' part? I've had good relationships, I've had bad, and I've had some that were in-between....I'm forever the optimist though, I keep thinking the best one is still out there looking for me!
