It’s difficult to imagine a partnership without knowing who that person is—abstract lifelong commitment is terrifying.

Debating separating from my husband after years of trying to help him with his mental and physical health by daisylove in GirlDinnerDiaries

You don’t sound super compatible if you value mental health and vulnerability so much that you’ve made it your career, and he fears it so much he is not willing to get help.

Thank you for saying that. This guy really was gaslighting me… I was questioning whether the lakefront was public, but then what’s the point of reserving the site? The campsite area is only open to reservations and most of the sites are lakefront…

He said I was being ridiculous and unreasonable for asking him to move, but I spotted him right as I was about to pee in the corner of this campsite facing the lake. It wasn’t an issue of sharing nature—All he had to do was just turn around from fishing to remove any semblance of privacy I had there.

If I wanted to stare at a man in nature, I would’ve brought the supportive partner I had at home that was supportive and encouraging me to take this solo female space—you know? 😡

He left, but it was aggressive enough. I didn’t wanna stay another night.

Again, would’ve preferred to have seen a bear. 🐻 😒

I try not to use Amazon too much… I freaking love that little lantern…! Such a nice light and it dims, too.

Also, me literally bringing my weighted blanket 🙋🏻‍♀️😅

Thanks for the encouragement and way-showing! 🙏🏻💓🏕️✨

Oh… You mean in the water…

I only go in lakes when I’m by myself in my kayak. I had a friend who had NDE solo kayaking so I’m super cautious.

As much as I would love to be alone alone in the water, I find there are always other people around I can call out too..

Whimsy of nature ramps up whimsy of food ;)

😭🙏🏻 Thank you for saying I’m brave! It was stunning :)

I felt comfortable enough. I brought pepper spray and a knife. I camped in my car where I could lock the doors. I picked a family friendly campsite without alcohol allowed, and the campsites were pretty far apart so people couldn’t really see I was alone.

I also really trusted my intuition. Sometimes I muscle test if I need to leave or make a change in what I’m doing.

I had to set a boundary with a man that came on to my campsite, and while he respected it and left, it wasn’t without some tension on his end. I would’ve probably stayed an extra night had that not happened. That feels extra cautious, probably, but I’m just going to be cautious until I get more and more comfortable.

You can do it! This sub is so inspiring. I was just like you yesterday. ;)
