It\u2019s better to be single than being involved in a poor-quality relationship. This is according to a study conducted by a research team from the University of Buffalo in New York.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The researchers also found that being in a happy relationship benefits your physical and mental health. Being in a poor-quality relationship negatively affects physical and mental health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Ashley Barr, assistant professor in the University of Buffalo\u2019s department of sociology, the longer people are in a healthy relationship, the better for their health and the faster they quit a poor-quality relationship, the better their health.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHealth benefits begin to accrue relatively quickly with high-quality relationships and supportive contexts,\u201d Ashley Barr is quoted as saying by Daily Mail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAnd then we see detrimental effects from low-quality relationships &#8211; particularly, those low-quality relationships that last a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Professor Barr added: &#8220;The findings suggest that it&#8217;s better for health to be single than to be in a low-quality relationship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt&#8217;s not being in a relationship that matters; it&#8217;s being in a long-term, high-quality relationship that&#8217;s beneficial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cLow-quality relationships are detrimental to health.
