Good relationship > single > bad relationship

This is easy to agree with, but I'd argue that it's a tautology in that "good relationship" has to be defined as a relationship that's an improvement over being single. Of course a relationship that's an improvement over being single is going to be an improvement over being single.

That said, it's still a good philosophy to keep in mind. Even if you're the sort of person that needs to be in a relationship, if that relationship is still a net negative for your life despite the strong positive you associate with simply being attached, you're going to be better off being single and dealing with that negative than tolerating a bad relationship. Conversely, being happy single doesn't mean your life can't be enriched by a good relationship, so you shouldn't totally close yourself off to the possibility.
