Does being in a relationship effect nofap?

So…me:

In highschool, never been in a relationship before, quite shy so I don’t know if I could even initiate one, kinda attracted to someone…

Question:
Do relationships help stop, do nothing to, or make worse faping?

I just wanted to hear other people’s opinions, ideas, or experiences if you have any.

Dependable thing, if that person have in a live in relationship (which I condemn this practice) helps to stop faping in most cases but if that it is long distance emotional relationship it will be worse than fapping bro. Depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts come with this package so choose it wisely mate.

See it depends on person to person and the type of relationship you are in . I was in a relationship 2 years back , after she broke up , I felt broken and increased fapping . If you are in a respectful and believable relationship , then it might help you to overcome because of them . But most of the times , I felt unusual thoughts for her and other girls because of erotic thoughts due to porn . It has been following me since 1 year of nofap .
I used to talk to her a lot but as my mind was quite unstable , I got urges due to that which finally lead to fapping thinking of her . And after doing that , I felt extremely bad .
Being in a relationship only helps if you support and trust each other , that way it will help you to stop fapping ( it’s not easy to find such a partner with whom you can share everything) . Otherwise , it is useless.

That is his own perspective brother , I also believe in staying single and alone . Sometimes all people need is just a bit of self - time and space . Also , I have felt that while being in addiction or during nofap period , people have more willingness of being in a relationship . Most likely because of all the struggles that they are facing alone and a sense of loneliness prevails them . But as you move ahead on nofap , you’ll start to feel fresh , positive and happy in all aspects of life . You’ll feel that you don’t need anyone but only this version of you to lead a happy life .

This is from my own experience that I have felt .

Well I guess it’s my turn to give an input. No. It did initially because that was like the greatest feeling in the world, and I made it 25 days! But after I relapsed it all went downhill, and now I think of her and regret everything way worse after I relapse. Which you are not supposed to do…

Yeah, I know that. I think my real question was, if I were to be in a relationship (which I honestly don’t anticipate) would that negatively effect nofap.
