Tao...I have always thought I had to be in a relationship. Problematic to you, how? I know for me, finally giving it to the idea of not having a relationship was kind of like "withdrawal." In my behavior, I would end, or have one ended, and just move on to another...
Now, 4 years solo, I am really just finding peace of mind. There is no rule that says one has to be in a relationship, and, for me, it has been liberating and a path to self-discovery to be on my own.
