I wouldn't say I'm asexual, but I feel that relationships can be a burden during difficult times. Or at least, dating and meeting new people can, because there's nothing stable about that.

I would hope that a marriage partnership would fare better in supporting each other during hard times, but the grass is always greener.

I was single for a couple years after a particularly hard relationship. Thinking about how much we hurt each other due to our problems made me feel so guilty and afraid of trying again.
