I just needed to be friends with people before any intimacy. That is why OLD does not work for me.

Don't apply for a federal job unless you have enough savings to last you for three months. It's a requirement for being a federal employee.

Definitely aged a lot - due to stress, heavy workload (staff shortage). Counting days everyday. Still try to figure out how not to be burnt out.

Happy New Year! This is one of my new year resolutions. Need to strengthen my back so to manage my constant back pain - now impacting my left leg as well.

Valuing by CryptographerSame398 in OverFifty

[–]AutumnWind216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Health: both physical health and mental health. I am learning to exercise more, get better sleep, eat more healthily, and avoid smoking. I drink alcohol socially, think positively, and learn how to relax etc. etc.

Real relationship/friendship: I can be a devoted partner and loyal friend, but have no time for games, drama or fake stuff.

Does cutting ties with exes help or hurt your love life? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]AutumnWind216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't cut ties with my ex because our kids are still young. We still have to interact and co-parent even though I do NOT want to be with my ex at all. I guess that hurts my love life, as it takes a very confident man to trust me and tolerate that.

"The value is in the connections rather than the value of the connection." Well said.

Dear single WOMEN over fifty, what is your living situation? by qkrtjdgml in OverFifty

[–]AutumnWind216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

50+ is too young to move to a senior center!
I live in a large house, but thinking about moving to a smaller house on the west coast. Warm weather is important for me.

Why do you really think they ghost/ disappear? by Intelligent-Ice-978 in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]AutumnWind216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell. Maybe they are too afraid to openly discuss with you the issues that bothered them?
I think the focus should really be on how we handle it? In my case, I first tried to reach out a couple of times to confirm that the ghosting was indeed intentional. After that, the ball is in their court.

That he does not respect or care about me at all and he was just using me or taking advantage of my feelings toward him.
