First of all, I can do many things at my discretion when I am alone. I have seen so many people pretending to be pleased and satisfied with decisions or activities influenced by their partners, even if they neither like nor want to do those things at all. However, when you have a partner, you need to make sure that you take your partner’s opinion into account in order to make decisions; otherwise it will be considered disrespectful. On the contrary, if I stay alone, I can watch movies I like, eat my favorite food and choose various activities to do without thinking about my girlfriend's opinion. I can save my time and money from doing things I do not want to do. Moreover, I do not have to live up to someone’s expectations, which may cause me distraction and difficulties in leading my life.
