I want to know what it's like so that I might know what to look for. What is it like? How did it happen for you? Is it really better than being single? Why?
Thanks
Thanks

I'm happy that you are healthier now. Besides the drinking, what kind of sacrifices? Do you think those other sacrifices are worth it/not at a huge detriment to you?

No healthy friendships.
No healthy relationship with myself.
Fail x3
Just as the first line of my signature says...

Veruca said:I think healthy relationships, regardless of them being romantic or platonic, are based on compromise, trust and respect. Your friends and/or partner should be trustworthy, make you feel good about yourself and be willing to forgive you for your flaws and mistakes. There will be plenty of arguments/fights/issues, but if beyond all that you can feel all those positive things and you feel pretty happy with them say 80% of the time, then its a pretty healthy relationship I think.

It's good. You can be yourself. They don't need anything from you. You don't need anything from them. BUT if someone did really need help the other would be there. You don't have to hang out all the time or talk all the time, but when you do meet up, it's really nice.
Nothing turns me off faster than a friend that needs a lot of favors. Even if they can/want to pay me back. I don't need it. I can take care of the basics myself. I know you're true if we can hang out and I know you don't want anything from me other than my company.
It's probably a similar feeling for being in a romantic relationship.
