View submission: Is Buddhism skeptical of romantic relationships?

If you are single, you have a single person's suffering.

If you have a partner, you have a coupled person's suffering.

I would say Buddhism is skeptical that a romantic relationship will solve any of our problems. This is a common confusion.

I think it depends on the person.

If one is the type of person to be codependent and reactive, then a relationship will be difficult as a practitioner. If one is laid back, fluid, adaptable, then less so.
