I'm better off with you

[cfu507]

There is a song with the expression I'm better off alone.
Can I also say: "I'm better off with you"?

 

[Conchita57]

You certainly can.

 

[cycloneviv]

Absolutely.

 

[avok]

But I am better off with you sounds a bit weird, does not it? (vs. without you)

 

[cycloneviv]

Not really. It depends on the context.

For example:

When we broke up I was a mess. I couldn't sleep, eat or think. I'm better off with you.

 

[avok]

I see...but I have always seen better off "without him /her /it" etc.
