Answer 1

Be a monk!

Answer 2

if they have been a drain on you
is because you made the classic mistake of treating them like queen ( 1st mistake ) and not asserting yourself as a man ( 2nd mistake ) inside of the relationship and so they soon walked over you ( 3rd mistake ) so when it ends you have nothing left in you as you feel depleted.
if it's been a hassle it becuase you do all the work and assume a women will not do some ( they will but early on you showed them that you were willing do it 4th mistake ), women want sex and relations as much if not more than a men do, but they have learned that certain men will roll over and then they can get what they want rather easily once they have established his weakness level.

Answer 3

sorry to say but you let this happen to yourself, maybe try having some standards before dating and getting involved, like what are you really looking for in a person, what type of person am i looking for, is this person compatible, does she have too much drama going on.... such questions like these to ask yourself and once you establish these standards dont settle for anything less... your new way of life can only risk you dying of aids or catching something, and it will get old afterwhile of having meaningless relationships....
