What's the Point of having a Relationship for you personally?

As a sex-repulsed aro-ace, I don't have to have someone else make me happy, as I do always find something to do on my own, I'm stressed out in relationships for me personally.

Because it's very human thing to do. Just like it's a human thing for you to want to be alone. There's nothing wrong with it. There's no shame in being alone or being with someone. You're neither better off or better without.

Being single makes you happy. You do it because it makes you happy. There are others like you out there. For you, things like marriage & dating would be a hindrance. You feel that you would lose a lot of freedom when married or in a relationship. You have to set aside time, money, & decisions when in a relationship. You like being able to do what You want when You want. There's nothing wrong with that. BUT those things alone make YOU happy.

Just like there's other people like myself that don't want to be alone. I find pleasure in sex, intimacy, affection, & companionship. All rolled up into one and later I come to deeply love that person.

Think of it like this. You being alone would be complete hell for me and it was when I was divorced. I was not happy. Just like me being with someone is complete and utter hell for you. But I admit, I will never understand why some people find so much pleasure in being alone. Just like you will never fully understand why people find happiness with another person. It is what it is.

But like I said before, there's nothing wrong with you wanting to be alone. Some of my co-workers have no desire to be in a relationship either. It's not for everyone.
 
Companionship, Ideally a level of trust in one another's faithfulness. Most people don't really want to be alone, humans are social animals, and having someone around that you can share things with is rewarding in itself.

Being self-reliant doesn't mean that you can never rely on someone else. It just means you can manage when there's not somebody else. Having someone there who you can lean on and who can lean on you is healthy.

And sex is a fun benefit.
 
Having an intimate relationship will be a good thing for me. I would be the happiest man if it ended in marriage.
