Loneliness is a relative hash term that describes an individual without companions, it is a solitary life style that sometimes expresses the independent, isolation of ones mind or seclusion of an individual emotion from others within the same environment. However, the greatest reason that works in favor of loneliness is that, this idea creates a sense of independent and self-sustenance within a group. At the same time, encourage individual self-expression.

On the down side, this idea can be desolate thus, producing dejection, simply because life is full of ups and down and we all need somebody to lien on and share our thoughts and worries with in times of trouble.

Although, when compared with a romantic relationships, loneliness can also be experienced in a subtle manner, simply because, not everybody involved in a romantic relationship is actually happy or actively engaged in such relationship.

However, this is contrary to the general believes or myth that, romantic relationship is often characterized with joy, funfair and a ‘happily ever after’ kind of ending. This notion is not necessarily true in every relationship. For example, I was involved in a romantic relationship with a colleague of mine and everybody thought we were the best of couples, but the reality was that we were not happy with each other base on some ideological differences that we failed to address at the early stage of the relationship. I must confess that the day the relationship was finally dissolved was the happiest moment for me, because I felt a sense of relieve, longing to be alone just by myself.

On the other hand, romantic relationship or marriage could be very beneficial. It flows with the general believes that ‘two heads are better than one’. A major advantage in marriage of romantic relationship is that the couple can merge their intellectual resources together and achieve greater physical, emotional and financial results targeted towards a common goal.

On the down side, this can be a great challenge due to the fact that it is tough to reach a decision as a couple, whereas, individuals can make crucial decisions much faster.
