So I am having a late night argument with a friend, his view is that having a serious relationship with a woman degrades from your quality of life and makes you unhappy in general. I think the opposite, that having a woman in your life makes you happier as a whole, and actually makes you realize how important other aspects of your life are as well.

I am curious to what the general opinion is. Obviously it can vary, and a bad relationship can make your life worse while a good one can make your life better. But if you had to make a generalization what would you go with?

I'm in a serious relationship with a girl...
and well,
I've never been happier in my life. Sure, there is a lot of pressure with some things, and not being around her (like in between semesters) is absolutely terrible, but no matter what happens (barring her cheating on me or something bad along those lines), it's infinitely rewarding, and I would never have it any other way then the way it is right now .
Being in love rocks. :D.

Rollercoaster. Ups and downs. Use sparingly.

Idk, people will probably get mad at me for this, but I am a very happy person, regardless of my situation. I kinda decided that being unhappy is a waste, so I will enjoy life as it happens and just roll with it. (I don't sound too hippyish, do I?)

Then again, I haven't had a serious relationship in a while, so maybe my view is skewed.

Definetly more enjoyable.

i've been with my girlfriend for over 2 years now and we are doing great. Ofcourse there are times when you can't do things you want but thats what relationship is you gotta give to recive.

It depends on how old you are, who you are and who she is.

There are a lot of unhealthy relationships nowadays since modern views make people a lot more incompatible compared to before.

until your girlfriend cheats on you, lies about it, makes you think everything is still good.. If you sum it up, it is rewarding indeed, but when the breakup happens, it seems that its hard to remember the good times

It depends how good you are at allowing women to be disloyal, be it a liberal attitude or just really good at lying to yourself, because that's the hallmark of modern women.

way way more enjoyable with a woman in your life, especially if the relationship's still new and fresh.

life's just much more fun when you get out of the shower and the first thing you do is run to your cell to check whether she texted you.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

it really just depends on weather or not you enjoy sex with multiple partners.

Your joking right, shit like that is the worst part about relationships.
If you can train yourself not do that kind of stuff then it's often +EV.

But if you do that kind of stuff it's probably not helping your life.

I think its a sign that you are more willing to make sacrifices to make someone else happy, and making my girl happy makes me happy. All depends on your outlook, and what your in a relationship for.

accept that everything is only temporary and you'll be very happy in a long-time relationship. You need to break it off at the first real signs of cheating though...
