    He's making us late. I don't think he's ever seen the mental breakdown I have when I'm late somewhere. It will be interesting.

    Matched with this girl on Facebook dating and soon after getting her number to set up a date she deleted her dating account. Idk whether to feel good or extremely nervous lol

    It's so odd dating someone where like you get in an argument and they can admit they're wrong without a bunch of weird manipulation and gaslighting and sobbing for an hour in emotional and mental anguish.

    I'm still adjusting to not being single. We don't see each other like every day cause he lives an hour away, but sometimes I have to suppress my commitment issues. They're not like "cheat on ur partner" kind of commitment issues, I guess I'm just so used to being single and stuff and I'm an introvert so sometimes I get that desire to retreat.

    I definitely understand that sentiment.

    for awhile it seemed like every woman I dated or was in a relationship with jumped it from 0-100 in less than a week. A lot of awkward conversations where I’m like, “look, most days the only people I talk to are coworkers and there are weekends where the only noise from my apartment is the tv or music and I wonder if by Monday I’ll have the strength in my vocal cords to speak because I don’t make a sound because it’s just me here. So going from that to talking every night for hours or hanging out every day is a bit much for me.”

    I feel like everyone says they understand and appreciate solo / alone time but fuuuuuck if I ever meet these people in real life who like doing that.

    Married with a kid... you’ll learn to love that alone time. I mean not all the time but every once in a while it’s just the best

    I have been feeling this exact way and have been struggling with it so thanks for sharing. I thought I wanted a relationship but now that I'm in one, I'm not so sure.

    29 and about to get a divorce after almost 8 years. We have a 3 year old son together; it's gonna hurt like crazy, i can already tell. As i write this I'm sitting in my friend's empty but furnished apartment where he's letting me stay. He left PA and went home to Chicago once COVID hit. It's a lifesaver because it's really hard to find a place around here right now and I'm trying to be as close to the house as possible so i can be there for my son. The constant stress of finding a place to live after my wife gave me an ultimatum of when to leave is finally dissipating.

    I know that I'm nowhere near ready to date. That feels so foreign to me since we've been together all of our 20s. This is a whole new phase of life for me. Gotta learn what it's like to live alone for once. I know I need to wait before i jump into something, but I'm already feeling lonely and just need to write somewhere that it's ok to be single and take a good hard look at myself before getting involved with anyone new.

    Best of luck man. I divorced at 30 and our son was 2. It sucks, but it does get better.

    Thanks, man. That's good to hear. I've got hope for the future. I know we both need space, so right now it's the best thing we can do, but the grieving process is still tough. I know we'll all get through it and honestly believe we'll be better for it on the other side.

    Is it amicable? Are you able to see the kid somewhat regularly? There was a lot of on/off tension in ours, but overall it's been good. Once COVID started and everything shut down, we started spending more time together because we're both home all the time, so we go on walks with our son etc. Fortunate we don't hate each others guts and get to do stuff like this.

    Yeah, overall we are pretty amicable and are striving to keep it that way. She wants full custody and I'm going to give it to her (long story) since i don't feel like i have any other option. I'm worried we won't keep spending time together after she has custody. Just keep praying she doesn't go off the deep end and withold him over time. Right now she wants me to be an active part in his life. I'm a good dad; i know that and so does she. All the "what-if" scenarios scare the shit out of me so i just keep focusing on the best thing to do in the moment. Using a mediator, so that's gonna be hard to work through, but i think we are both committed to staying civil.

    Walks together are a big part of our plan to stay connected as a "family" of sorts. That's cool that it's a big thing for you guys as well!

    He's meeting my family this weekend which I kinda hate because I hate world's colliding and I'm very private and I hate it. But I will rip the band aid off and then they'll never see him again until we get married or break up or die or something. It'll be fine. It's just gonna be initial anxiety. Espesh cause my last bf was a total loser which can work in one of two ways: either the bar is so low that anybody is great to them in comparison, or they'll be extra vigilant cause they know I have a history of trash taste. I don't think they'll dislike him, I'm just super private so I hate it.

    I agree, although I’m blanking at which one is the third lol outside of tinder. I like Bumble in concept but most of my girlfriends hate the concept of messaging first so a lot of my matches go unmessaged. I’ve had great dates with people I’ve met on there but it’s so long for me to get a match that leads to conversation in comparison with other apps.
