vicarzTo everyone and anyone I keep telling not to do relationships to try and fix problems they have:

A 15 year study in the March issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that people who got married were NO HAPPIER than before they were married after the brief high that came from the new marriage. This is only one study of course, but it just parallels my experience too much not to 'gloat' over.
They also found people that were happy to start with were more likely to have successful marriages. Everyone else had a greater probability of appearing on a talk show...
So - relationships are not going to make you better. No matter how you may search, the only thing you can find that is capeable of making you happy is inside yourself.
