I'll tell you. See friendship is also like a relationship between two best friends. If your friend is bad, they steal your sleeps and when you're out of that friendship, you feel free, happy from the tension, so just like this you were in an unsuitable relationship for you so after your out of it you feel free and happy!

It depends on a lot of things.. Maybe relationship hinders you from some part of your life that you love. Or maybe you are very strong and independent.. Or you maybe afraid of a serious commitment. Maybe you are afraid of settling down.. Maybe you haven't found the right partner yet.. Let me tell you if you don't feel bad after a breakup then probably that relationship wasn't meant to last... Trust me your perspective will change once you find the "ONE."

Because that's your gut telling you that you are in the wrong relationship here and you'll know when the right one comes along, so don't expect too much from these wrong ones as that's the best thing that can happen to you. Good luck and Merry Christmas

There could be lots of reasons why you might be feeling happier when you are single, but the first thing I'd say is that this definitely isn't a bad thing!

Lots of people only feel comfortable when they are in a relationship, because they need validation from another person to feel good about themselves.

You know there are always those people that just go from relationship to relationship, and never seem to spend any time alone, and have done since they were at school? I don't think that's too healthy. I think everyone needs to spend a bit of time being independent, and if you prefer that, then good for you! I'm sure it means that you will find yourself in less bad relationships, and when the right person comes along you'll appreciate it even more.

Besides, there are plenty of things that are really great about being single. I've listed a few of them below:

  1. You're free to go on exciting dates and meet new people
  2. You don't have to go halves on anything: from bed-space to the cost of dinner.
  3. You do things on your own schedule, rather than when someone else is available/wants you to.
  4. You get to watch what you want on TV.
  5. You save money on the phone bill!
  6. Everything is your call, no more compromising on what to have for dinner or where to go on holiday.
