13 People Share Perks Of Being In A Relationship & Us Singles Can’t Relate

Harshita Singh

While those of us who are single may like to sometimes coax ourselves into believing that the single life is better than being in a relationship, mostly, there are pros in both kinds of scenarios. Companionship isn’t all that bad, is it? Of course, women are often conditioned to believe that relationships are better than being single, but aside from that programming, having a partner does have its comforts and benefits. And this Reddit thread where people have shared the things they can now do while being in a relationship, as opposed to when they were single, is proof of this.

Here, take a look:

1. “Have someone I can bite all the time.”

4. “I use my partner as a reason to easily get out of conversations or situations I don’t want to deal with. Sales person? Gotta talk to my husband first (he doesn’t care). Party on Saturday? My husband has to work (he doesn’t but we’re both introverts and he wouldn’t want to go either).”

11. “Share desserts or sweet drinks! I have a sweet tooth, but am not a volume eater. I generally can’t (nor should I) finish full sized desserts/sweet drinks, but having an SO lets me satisfy my craving, try new food, without needing to stuff myself cause I get to share, which he is very willing to too.”

13. “Have my husband bring me water when I’m in bed.”
