Why You Don’t Need a Better Half (2 of 3)

So whether you’re spending your energy living a single life or trying to make a long-term relationship work (which anyone will tell you isn’t easy in the least), there’s a few things you should always keep in the back of your head. If you feel like one of these things isn’t possible for you, there’s a very real chance that your “better half” might just be making you worse.

First of all, you want to remember what your goals in life are. That doesn’t mean you have to reach all of them in the short term, but you do need to have the mental freedom to be able to work towards them somewhat. And no, your goals do not all have to be things you want to achieve in your relationship or with your partner. You can have goals that would apply to a future with and without that person alike. In fact, it’s healthy to have those.
