Having a woman in your life

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?

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.

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.

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.
