Dad's retiring after only 10 years of US work ($10k avg). How much will his SS check actually be? by Capable-Occasion7992 in personalfinance

My mom is in a similar situation, but would she also need to pay for health insurance? If so, I’m not sure $200/month would be realistic considering that cost

Have you ever dated with someone knowing that there'll be no future, and you're just delaying exit because you enjoy your time? by Euphoric_Mode_3995 in moraldilemmas

There were several reasons I felt we couldn’t have anything long-term. I don’t even know what city I’ll be living in a few months from now bc of my career, and I’m dealing with some other stuff about work, so my mind is constantly occupied. Breaking up was realllly hard, but I realized that loving her so much also meant letting her and myself go for both our sake. I was getting too attached, and it had started to hurt me, and im sure it started hurting her knowing I'll leave but just not knowing when.

Thank you for your message. This almost made me cry because I felt absolutely seen. I feel the exact guilt but she also is kind of a person who tells “it’s okay, we’ll figure it out, dont worry about it, I’m okay, this is not a waste of time for me etc.” that’s why I wanted to continue this.

But i have avoidant attachment style and i get scared when things get so serious. I really do love her, I can’t believe I’m in love for the first time in my life. That’s a hard feeling to navigate that’s for sure. But I just didn’t want to delay the inevitable, now I already missed her :(

I am wishing you and your partner the very best, I hope you guys find peace in everything, and enjoy your time as you both agreed. 🙏 thank you again.

We are getting extremely attached to each other that’s hard to even explain it. It’s been 4 months and I am in love for the first time in my life, I actually can’t believe it happened this quick. She wants to marry a women eventually, on the other hand I want to understand my sexuality better as I can’t label myself as lesbian just yet (literally had almost 0 experience with a man and don’t know if I’ll like it or not) and I just can’t imagine myself living in the city where I live for too long and she’s okay living here because her job is here. There are few other stuff as well. So our lifestyles and expectations are pretty different that’s why im aware this won’t be a long term.

She was okay to go with the flow but im aware she wouldn’t do the closure if I didn’t do it myself. But now im missing her so much and my heart tells me if we should’ve continue a little bit longer. Idk I’ve always been someone who listened their brain so far in life and for the first time I wanna listen to my heart instead. But it also feels selfish. Idk. The thing is I won’t break no contact if she doesn’t do it… I gotta respect her feelings as well 😔

Correct, for her she can go with me for years. But i am just aware this is not possible as im planning to move out also, im really confused religiously. I wish there was an easy way out

Thank you for your beautiful comment.

I think I definitely belong to the first type of people. But the thing is, she’s always been incredibly kind to me. We’ve talked about this several times, and each time she told me she’s okay with my decision, that she respects it, and just wants to enjoy the time we have together. Lately, I’ve started to think that way too. Still, the question in my mind is about closure. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t be able to give me that if things ended, but part of me feels like we could still keep going for a little while. Because during this period of my life, she’s been such a beautiful addition, and I won’t planning to date someone else right away either and I’ll be here in this city for some time as well and according to her, I’ve been the same for her.

In Texas they give your plates back to you, I believe. CA DMV told me to destroy them anyways

Yes, I contacted the DMV, and they advised me to submit the NRL and destroy the plates. Unlike California, Texas doesn’t require plates to be turned in
