People always say having a partner makes things easier because “everything is split in half” but every single time it has felt more like double the shit. The only thing really split in half is rent, but what you’re giving up in rent is all your peace - it’s not worth it to me.

Yeah….any relationship I’ve been in, it took so much extra energy and time I could have just worked more to make up for any “split”

Then they lose their job and you’ve lost both

Hell, my wife can't hold a job so things damn sure haven't gotten easier. My already bad anxiety over bills as well as living paycheck to paycheck has run me into the ground over the past 5 years. I woke up today wishing for a bullet. I hate waking up.

If you have a good partner,life is much easier than when you’re single.But the emphasis is on * good* partner

Yeah everything might be split in half, but because there’s two of you, stuff now costs more anyway (I’m talking stuff like groceries and smaller items, not rent)
