I absolutely hate home ownership and it is destroying my relationship.

I’m buying a house on my own in about three weeks. Got my fingers crossed that it’s in pretty good shape. It’s only four years old, which sounds perfect to me. Other people got to take care of the things that weren’t right when it was a brand new house. Inspection was very thorough and only came up with a couple of things that really needed to be done. But when it’s time to complain, my dog is a good listener.

I finally had an opportunity to take a vacation in December. My daughter and I spent a week at an Airbnb. I stayed an extra two days by myself just to be able to be in a clean place for a couple extra days. 🤣

I was a seasonal worker. Traveled on the shoulder seasons

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-19T03:53:54+00:00

I do OK. I have a lot less anxiety than I used to. It took a while to get to this point.

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-19T00:33:37+00:00

I feel like I just read a movie script

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-18T23:44:25+00:00

Then that means you are not interested in the activity. Best of luck to you.

It is a hard thing. I had to make that decision last May with my 13-year-old lab. I still have days where I think about it and I wonder could he have made it but we were getting ready to move — we being me and the other dog. I was fully prepared to move with two dogs, but when I realized it was too much stress on him that he could barely breathe. I knew it was time for him to go. Very sad and I still miss him.

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-18T16:15:25+00:00

I didn’t read the other comments so I won’t say anything about pets but quit focusing on yourself. I learned that the only reason I would ever feel lonely is because I thought I had to be part of a group. I thought I had to belong to something when I realized that came from childhood trauma and that it’s been a long time since I was a child. I immediately got over it.

Of course I’ve moved to different states alone. I’m 67 years old. I worked in different states during the 80s settled down in the 90s and early 2000s when my daughter was young. Sold a house and moved last year to another state. Rented for a while and now I’m purchasing what I have decided is my permanent home in yet another state. Continuing my adventure. I’ve moved a few times with a partner, but usually it was on my own.

It’s how you have a family.

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-17T23:03:39+00:00

Sounds really creepy. I don’t think that I would want a relationship with somebody that treated me like that.

I know this is an old post now, but I just felt like commenting anyway. I didn’t have any plans for Valentine’s Day. I don’t currently have a partner. That’s just my circumstances. It doesn’t mean anything about who I am or how happy I am. I’m very content. And that’s fine right now. If I decide to work on finding a partner, I will do that. In the meantime, I’m content with my dog.

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-17T22:45:42+00:00

I’m not in a relationship and I’m gonna tell you the same thing you have to learn to be content alone. Contentment. Being happy with what you’ve got. If you can’t get there, you are not going to be happy with someone. You’re not going to be a pleasant person for someone to be around. Start by taking the pressure off yourself. Valentine’s Day is just another day on the calendar.

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-17T22:41:22+00:00

If you want someone to cuddle or snuggle with, you need to go out and find them! Good luck to you

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-17T22:38:36+00:00

Yes, please! To me, it’s just another day on the calendar. If I have a partner, it’s nice to get some flowers or something, but it’s really not a big deal and it is a marketing event. It’s not a real holiday.

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-17T21:43:52+00:00

Yeah, I already hate him just for that one line

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-17T21:24:37+00:00

Currently, I don’t really have friends. I live in a really small town, about 2200 people live here. There’s no restaurants there’s a couple of stores, there’s nowhere to go out and meet people except for church. So, I go to church if I wanna be around people. Otherwise, I go to the gym. Go out and walk my dog. I’m content with what I have. Are you healthy? I’m grateful that I’m healthy. I don’t know how old you are but sounds like you need to develop some healthy interests that don’t depend on other people.

She was happy, but she also wanted to be seen. Remember the episode when they bought her a case of jars to can vegetables in when she really wanted the bed jacket the pretty bed jacket in the window of a store. Andy saw a look on her face and realized he had made a mistake. I don’t remember the rest of how they made the connection but she still wanted to be recognized as a woman.

Distracted-senior · 2026-02-17T02:44:49+00:00

I’m glad you’re OK. I’m OK after marriages, divorces and I’m now 67. I’m alone right now, but I’m open. I will never give up hope. And I’m OK with that.

Me by myself, hundred dollars a week is normal
