My relationship has definitely helped me with my issues. He gave me better stability and restored my faith in humanity. After being hit with a new reality to life, it took me several years to be ready for a relationship. I had no idea what I wanted but I knew what I didn't want and we still hold those values. I learned I was not very tolerant of people but if I can't find a little peace at home, where can I find it. Better to be happy alone than miserable for the company.
