[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As was said before,  look at the relationship forum to see that thinking relationships are the one tool to make you happy is misguided.
A relationship/marriage can compliment happiness but it shouldn't be the sole cause of it.
I am married and much as I love DH, I know my happiness depends on me and me alone.  He is not responsible for that, it is on me.[/quote]

EVERYTHING in life is balance. Even the things that are healthy and good for you require balance to remain healthy and good for you. Relationships are no different. While they can undoubtedly make your life better, they can also make your life worse if you don't maintain a certain level of independence. I think a lot of people are getting caught up on semantics.

Being a lone for the rest of your life will probably make you miserable. Being side by side with someone all day every day will probably make you crazy. Balance is the key. That is why relationships where people still maintain certain aspects of their lives while they were single are to me, the most successful.

And you are right... Even within a relationship, happiness is the responsibility of the individual.[/quote]
