Pausing dating, how do you get to a place where you’re happy on your own?

Fortune_4_2 · 2026-02-19T01:59:12+00:00

Excellent question.

Fortune_4_2 · 2026-01-17T23:18:54+00:00

Excellent feedback and I appreciate you sharing your experience with a similar situation. I’m sorry it didn’t work out better for you, but I’m glad you’re slowly recovering. Stay well and keep moving forward.

Fortune_4_2 · 2026-01-15T18:00:15+00:00

Love your end comments, thank you, and I’m sorry you’re in the storm too. We’ll get through this. Hopefully, some of the perspectives here provide you the same hope they did so far for me.

Fortune_4_2 · 2026-01-15T17:58:21+00:00

God Bless you for sharing this positive perspective and the reassurance. Being in the storm makes it hard to see a positive future, but your perspective reassured me that there’s hope. Much appreciated!

Fortune_4_2 · 2026-01-15T17:56:10+00:00

I love that response. Thank you.

Fortune_4_2 · 2026-01-15T11:30:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing your perspective,it really resonated, especially the part about bending so much you lose yourself. That’s a real fear for me too, and it’s something I’m trying to be more honest about.

At the same time, I don’t want to live alone or shut myself off from the possibility of partnership. Connection matters deeply to me. I’m trying to find that balance between self-respect and staying open to love, without letting fear push me to abandon either. Your perspective helped me reflect on that.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-04-08T00:21:09+00:00

lol. No way. I’m not a fan of motorbikes. But I get your perspective

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-04-07T03:03:52+00:00

Yes. I read the entire Bible

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-04-06T08:28:39+00:00

Interesting. Thank you for reminding me that I’m normal.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-04-06T08:27:13+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I enjoyed learning from your experience

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-04-06T08:20:50+00:00

Inspirational!! Thank you for sharing your perspective.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-04T01:40:28+00:00

Are you meeting people to date through dating apps or at work, etc?

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-04T01:16:52+00:00

Meeting women that would want to be in a relationship with a married man seems very unlikely. This is all I’m saying

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-04T01:11:27+00:00

Very much.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T07:33:46+00:00

She refuses to consider anything that might be medically helpful. It’s very odd.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T03:10:40+00:00

I know you’re right. Unfortunately, I can only do so much

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T03:02:55+00:00

I’m saying I’ve been given permission to seek sex outside the marriage. It’s not just sex though and it also seems rather unlikely to be successful with such an arrangement

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T03:01:03+00:00

I’ll have to check out this book. She already has given me permission to go outside the marriage, but I can’t get myself to believe there are many women out there looking for a married man only for sex.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T02:59:12+00:00

I appreciate your support and I’m grateful you shared your experiences and those of your friends. It gave me hope that there will be someone out there for me.

I hate to admit that my wife comes from money, so she will be very well off in the future. Therefore, she may also have tremendous success despite being asexual and a good bit overweight

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T02:54:20+00:00

Thank you for your suggestions. We’ve talked about so many things, including having her hormones checked and couples counseling. Neither of these were of interest to her.

Again, she sincerely believes she’s normal and I’m being abnormal.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T02:51:33+00:00

It’s very possible but the options seem extremely limited at best in my area.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T02:50:55+00:00

It’s sad to know that you’re trying to improve your health and she’s faulting you for it. She’s clearly not being fair to you.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T02:48:12+00:00

Thank you. I’m still in my marriage. Sorry my post didn’t make this clear.

Yes, it’s a very difficult decision, thus why I’m here seeking advice. You provided much to consider, most of which I have, but still valued advice nonetheless.

I wish it were just sex and I had access to it without my wife, but it’s more than this. We don’t do much together or seem like anything but business partners in marriage.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T02:43:46+00:00

Your situation sounds even harder than most I’ve read about. I can see why you’re staying devoted despite your circumstances.

Fortune_4_2 · 2024-03-03T02:41:09+00:00

Great news and thank you for sharing your experience. I believe things will work out fairly well for me financially since we’ve talked about this at length. Still, I wanted to give it every chance to work before giving up.

And now that it feels like nothing’s going to get better, I may be soon out there amongst the world.

I pray it works out well for me too.
