"You Need To Be Happy Alone Before You Date"...Truth or Myth? | Rewind

"You Need To Be Happy Alone Before You Date"...Truth or Myth? | Rewind

I don’t like it when I hear people say, “You need to be happy first before you find a relationship.” It’s not that the sentiment is a bad one, but saying to someone who is facing challenges in life that they need to be happy before they can be with someone seems highly unproductive to me. As if it’s not hard enough being alone when we want to find a partner . . . we now also have to achieve this elusive feeling of happiness before we do?! I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to be happy before you find a relationship . . . You just need to be “happy enough.”
