Okay, so let me specify... Other than procreation purposes, what is the need for a relationship? I have asked a couple people this already and the answers have varied. Me personally, I have come to find, after reviewing my marriage, that I really have a difficulty emotionally connecting to people and I honestly forget to even consider others feelings. Call it a flaw I guess. But I don't see that changing, as it is who I am.
But it also caused me to further ponder the reason for relationships beyond pro-creational purposes. I was sitting in my living room tonight, looking around at my now customized house. (the way I like it and wanted it but a spouse hindered this) And I thought to myself, "why would I want to give up being able to do things the way I like it?" I even took a moment to ponder "what if I was married again and had someone else here with me?" That thought made me cringe. This is my place and I like it this way. I'm in my 30's. I'm pretty much set on how I like things. And I don't have to compromise. If I need to hang with someone, I call a friend, hang out for a couple hours, and call it good. Do we really need someone else around? You avoid having to even consider "don't go to bed angry" or anything like that.
So, back to my question... Why relationships? As we are all different, I'm just curious to see others reasoning for it. Im not saying relationships are bad, I'm just curious as to why?
