Is a romantic partner necessary for maintaining mental health?

is a romantic partner necessary for maintaining mental health?

Yes, but imaginary one works fine.

serious answers ONLY

A healthy relationship makes you happier and more confident as a whole.

Key word here is "healthy." You shouldn't feel pressured to get into a relationship just for the social status. And don't go around looking for booty calls and one-night stands as a replacement for that. That will just make you feel worse.

Not necessarily romantic, but someone whom you can connect with on a deep intimate level.
This could be a family member, a best friend or a romantic partner

yes but is it necessary

like would i go literally insane if i never had one

yea

Fuck you this is Veeky Forums.

You need to feel loved by somebody, that can be romantic or otherwise

cringe

No, but your dick would eventually fall off, which would result in depression.

Not necessary but it sure does help I imagine. I've never had a romantic partner and I'm not mentally unhealthy. I can understand how it drives some to being mentally unhealthy, though.

You cannot be mentally functioning right unless you are single.

It has been proven single people are happier, healthier both physically and mentally, less prone to chronic diseases, less prone to personality disorders, and can handle stress better.

This is because single people have more time to focus on their ambitions and what their wants are, rather than having to conform their life to a partner. Single people are more financially secure because they aren't spending money on useless shit for their spouse. You can never reach your potential if you are tied down to this world. You can only become a millionaire by being single.

You're not kidding anybody sicko

Fuck off to youtube summer

No you fucking idiot. Even people with romantic partners can be mentally unwell still

You're the fucking idiot; it could be the case (although it isn't) that a romantic partner is a necessary but not sufficient condition for mental health. Fucking idiot filth.

Kek

Yeah ok. Is occasional loneliness enough to consider someone mentally unwell? Plenty of people lead unromanced lives and still function in society

Why are people so easily bootybothered on Veeky Forums ? Or is it just this thread triggering people because no one loves them?

definitely the latter.

You losers are never going to practice real love, real socialism and real relationships.

Always picking the wrong partner and always sacrificing individuality for the sake of a weak teamwork.

It is very possible to be productive and sane with the right childhood partner if you both pick the same field of work, beliefs, workflow. You have to be synchronized in order to work efficiently.

Twins can barely manage to accomplish this, so what makes you think a bunch of primates like you can.

No, playing in multiplayer is amazing if you don't pick up each others slack, don't get conditioned by each other, don't confuse one another and don't suck dick at teamwork in general.

>Single people are more financially secure because they aren't spending money on useless shit for their spouse.

Clearly never lived as a DINK. you don't even know how fucking amazing it is.

I dunno if a partner is, but sex sure is. Find a cheap hooker spot and hit it up at least once a month.

Well, Tesla was supposedly a life long celibate. No one has ever found any evidence for any long-term relationships or excessive use of whores in his life.
He later repented the fact that he didn't start a family.

He was quite crazy by the end of his life, being in love with a bird and shit. Hell, he was quite crazy, in a good way, to begin with.

At least that's what he told me the other day on the phone.

Please leave

"When that pigeon died, something went out of my life. Up to that time I knew with certainty that I would complete my work, no matter how ambitious my program, but when that something went out of my life, I knew my life’s work was finished."

If this is not supernatural I do not know what is.

It doesn't have to be romantic.

This unironically.

Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said: It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suited to him. 19 So the Lord God formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the air, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called each living creature was then its name. 20 The man gave names to all the tame animals, all the birds of the air, and all the wild animals; but none proved to be a helper suited to the man.

21 So the Lord God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 The Lord God then built the rib that he had taken from the man into a woman. When he brought her to the man, 23 the man said:

“This one, at last, is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
This one shall be called ‘woman,’
for out of man this one has been taken.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body.

25 The man and his wife were both naked, yet they felt no shame.
