Why It’s Never Too Late To Be Single
The true waste of time is in serial monogamy
You may feel that being alone is a waste of time. The actual waste of time is jumping from one long-term, serious relationship to the next. Each of those relationships has been a waste of time. You may think, “But I learned so much about relationships from each one!” No you didn’t. If you enter relationships from a stance of codependency and fear of being alone, those aren’t—I’m sorry to say it—even real relationships. Those are…like panic rooms. You’re just in there to avoid the scary stuff outside. But you don’t learn anything about a healthy relationship in which both people feel confident, stable, free, and whole.
