Living Alone Feels Better Than Living With an Adult Child

Loading player...
There is something very attractive about a grown adult who can take care of themselves.
Because sometimes being single isn't about not wanting love.
It's about not wanting another person to manage.
You can want companionship, affection, intimacy and someone to share your life with—and still think:
“I don't want to raise another adult.”
The right relationship shouldn't make your life perfect.
But it shouldn't turn you into someone's mother, father, manager or personal assistant either.
You should feel like partners—not parent and child.
