Surprising Benefits of Being Single

单身的好处

You can do whatever the hell you want to.

想干嘛，就干嘛！

Just like a flower will wither if you don't water it, a relationship will suffer without proper care andattention.

花儿不浇水就会枯萎，感情缺乏适当的关心和关注也会痛苦不堪。

Do you have a friend who complains about how "needy"her partner is？

你的朋友中，有没有抱怨自己的伴侣“要求太多”的？

This complaint could be justified depending on thecontext, but most people simply underestimate how much time it takes to sustaina healthy relationship.

在某些情境中，这样的抱怨可能是合理的，但大多数人都低估了维持健康的感情所需要的时间。

There is nothing "strange" about wanting yoursignificant other to spend time with you.

想要你爱的人花点时间陪你，绝不是什么“奇怪”的要求。

If you're not ready to consider the needs of another person, then singlehood might be for you.

如果你还没准备好为另一半的需求着想，那么单身也许很适合你哦。
