> This is basically a red flag for any relationship. If the only thing making or allowing a person to be happy in life is their partner then something is wrong

When you get older, a partner (or children) are important to keep you going. Your body will fail you. Your mind will fail you. Your life will end and (statistically) it will be a long downward slope. Binding yourself to the right person keeps that slope more even, for longer.

People who think being alone is great are right, until some point after the slide begins that has slowly eaten away at your own ability.
