Answer: Romantic relationships are a burden rather than a blessing

Step-by-step explanation:

The woman in question is glad that she would be single from now on instead of being yoked with someone such that both she and he would care about each other such that they would be forced to impose their respective wills upon the other.

This shows that relationships are a burden which stifle freedom because they make people do things for others regardless of whether these are good or bad.
