I'm miserable when I'm in an unhappy relationship. I am usually happier when I'm single only because when I get to the point where I want to break up I've been suffocated and miserable for a long time. I try to make it work, but usually there is a point where I just give up in a relationship and then I mourn the loss of it before I break it off. Once I break it off, I never go back. I'm really firm about it so that there is no confusion.. and honestly, I'm relieved at that point. I've never really been the one to look for a boyfriend, because I don't need a relationship to be happy. Just being with friends is good. Plus now I have my daughter so I'm busy with her and university. I don't want to date for a long while. It's rather nice to have an excuse not to be with anyone, especially after my last relationship which was just insane.
But in general.. I don't mind being in a relationship. I just haven't really had one that fit my style well for the long run. My exes all turned out to be too possessive/controlling/wanting to get married/or crazy, minus my Sag ex who I moved away from and ended because of the distance.
