The factual/technical answer is “yes”, it is perfectly possible to live without romantic love and indeed be happy without it. But that depends on the person, if YOU feel unfulfilled without a partner then it is less likely you will experience that contentment on your own. I’ve given your profile a quick skim and from a cultural standpoint I know Indians put a lot of emphasis on marriage, so I understand your discomfort.
It’s not a bad thing to not be in, or want to be in, a relationship, if you don’t want to. It’s not wrong to not have the same urges as other people. You experience joy in other ways.
It’s only important if you have no hobbies or life goals imo.
It’s very possible to live without it. In fact, I feel like many people in general would be perfectly content living a life without “romantic love” if society didn’t shove it down our throats so much.
I truly don’t think “relationships” in general are all that important. A support structure is important when growing up but once you are an adult independence should be your main objective.
Making romance a priority in your life is dumb because it means that your happiness and contentment can only be found through other people which is always bad and will lead to guaranteed despair or shitty, codependent relationships
I find it extremely valuable if not more fundamentally important than sexual gratification. Good sex is rooted in affectionate intimacy and presence… awareness. The deeper I know a partner the better.
Fully authentic vulnerability is rooted in more than just romantic love but it definitely helps.
