>I just turned 31 and I've never been in a relationship. My whole life, I’ve been trying to do the right thing, finish school, get a degree, build a career right after. Even when I was going through a really rough time at work, I couldn’t just quit and take a break. My mother got some bad test results again and we were afraid her cancer might come back. I was so stressed that I took a job 80 km away.
>My free time is extremely limited. I barely have time to meet someone. I travel a lot and I’d like someone who lives relatively close. But on dating apps, there’s almost no one from my town. In the past few days, there were barely five guys in my city of over 50,000 people.
christ we're in the same boat anon. only girl i found was a long distance relationship, that never manifested into the real thing (even after 7 years). I'm 31 same as you, and I've completely stopped showing up to family events cause it serves as a reminder of where my life isn't. even chatgpt can't bring me any comfort or real advice except accepting my situation or seeing a therapist.
i grind at work because it's a good distraction, but i'm already burnt out, feeling like nothing brings me happiness or a sense of self fulfillment anymore. the only relief i get is when something breaks at work, and i manage to put things back together again.
going on dating apps felt like watching people flexing how nice their lives are (here's me driving, here's my apple watch centered in the shot), i couldn't connect or relate to anyone as a potential life partner, and thinking how short the next 9 years are going to be before i hit 40 drives me insane.
because i couldn't fix my past relationship, i started fixing things in the house that have been broken for decades, repainting, learning about electricity, diy and hoarding tools. people visiting tell me how good everything looks, but if only they knew.
