Let me pose this in a different light.
Why would you deny another loving being from delighting...encouraging . And supporting your life desires and you giving the equivalent?

That's how my friends stated it one day when I was on this stance of not wishing to be in a relationship. I was being selfish in a sense. Which is not the same as self preserving .

We each need reprieve in some aspects...yet a life long disassociation isn't one of them.

That's fine, but it doesn't mean a person won't still have urges sometimes.

Why on earth would you think that? With all of the societal pressure to be in a relationship?

I just can't get behind the idea that everyone in the world who's single is soooo selfish for denying another person the joy of being in a relationship with them. I certainly know people who would be doing a greater service to society to *not* subject someone else to them...

That's funny because in my area a lot of people get married straight after High School or College.
