I know too many people, both male and female, that can't manage the concept of being alone. When breakups occur, they're off looking for an immediate replacement. Fixing the "aloneness" is priority one, because even an unhappy, loveless relationship is preferable to living as a single person. A happy, healthy relationship is ideal, followed by a happy healthy relationship with yourself as a single person. The least desirable scenario is being stuck in a toxic, life-sucking relationship! (At least that's my motto)
