Answer 3

Okay.

Answer 4

In a relationship (being with another person/couple/2!), it is often difficult to be an individual (alone, single, solitary)

Answer 5

Since you are in a relationship(meaning that someone cares for you), it is often difficult to be alone because someone is always taking care of you :O!?

Answer 6

But no the prompt is asking why it is difficult to be an individual WITHIN the relationship, and not individual as in alone, but a person, so why is it difficult for a person to sustain a relationship.

Answer 7

what I understand is "in a relationship" being part of one, it is often hard to be an individual (inside a relationship). Well you can define words differently resulting in different answers for the prompt. It's right as long as you can prove your idea and so on.
