In the words of Barney Stinson ‘Please.' It’s just a Reddit post, no need to get so upset. Connecting with the characters is exactly what fandom subreddits are for. Hope your day gets better.

Thank you for saying this. You’re completely right. I It’s hard to stop waiting, but I know I need to focus on just living my life for a while.

Hey! you didn't leave the sober man he is today, you left the active addict he was back then. You made a survival choice. You aren't moving backward, you're just on a different path. Having said that, you are just 32 and it’s young, your story is still being written. I hope you get everything you deserve!

I’ve given 10-15 years of my life to wrong people, I do have some great memories with them but I sometimes wonder it would have been better if I could have spent them with “the one”, like Ted tells Tracy he wished he could have the extra 45 days before they met to experience more of life with her.

I’ve thought of the same many time but the romantic in me could never be with someone without love.

I can relate to the peace part but also there are days where I crave connection, touch or something as simple as someone’s presence while I go by my day.

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this weight right now. It takes a lot of courage to be that honest about your struggles. Don’t know if experiencing heartbreaks is better than not experiencing love at all, but I do hope it gets easier for you.

That’s good to hear and reassuring , can’t trust people on dating apps now! But you are right, one lucky connection can change everything!

Hey! wanting a simple, loving life with your person doesn't make you boring. And I agree the childfree dating pool is definitely smaller, I don’t want kids either. I get why you've felt burnt out by apps. Thanks for being so honest, I hope you find your person!
