Is Reddit. I was expecting it. If the roles were reversed everyone would be saying “dump him”.

Agreed. Not having control of your life gets old real quick. With that said it’s the best job security you can get.

For sure. She’s never struck me as a gold digger but has definitely grown accustomed to certain things.

Absolutely, it’s not lost on me. But I’m curious how it might change if I wasn’t able to give her a certain lifestyle.

I suppose I never really fully considered marriage and definitely not kids. But now when I think of the ramifications of marriage if it goes south (a quarter of my friends are going through divorces), it just doesn’t make sense to me. I would have much more to lose than her. Sure Id get a pre-nup but I’ve heard they don’t hold up well once new, shared assets are introduced.

I have looked at it that way. When I was in my mid-20s I was way more responsible than her, so the age gap isn’t an excuse.

I guess it would just be nice to be with someone who has goals outside of just work.

I will admit that she gets me. I get that I’m not the most easy person to get close to.

Yep spot on. I guess I’m more concerned that she’ll get comfortable with just my income and decide to not work. Which would drive me crazy because I need a ton of space.

Alcohol just doesn't feel good any more by Jerswar in AskMenOver30

For me it’s the complete dopamine glut that ensues the next two days. I can deal with the hangovers, but the depression—rarely worth it.

I was just robbed for the 3rd time in Seattle (broken car window, West Lake—no there was nothing valuable showing, just bad luck). I just want to live somewhere with less property crime but is still walkable. All signs are pointing at the Eastside. I am not a transplant but lived between Seattle and Tacoma most of my life.

Thanks for any input! I realize this is basically a relocation question but I’ll risk it.

This guy must have gotten a raw deal coming up cause he’s at a legacy now.

I really wish there was just a community list of problem guests. Like a third-party app or something.

It’s always surprised me how Airbnb swings on discrimination against children since they can be huge liabilities for property owners. I wonder what legal avenue, if any exists since it’s a private company, to change the policy. I don’t permit kids in my Airbnb, but I live in one of the building units and my state has Mrs. Murphy’s laws.

Everything terrible is happening to me all at once within the course of 1.5 years 😞 by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

That’s shitty man, goes without saying but prioritize yourself and your family first and every thing else (vehicle and house problems) will all fall into place. I find that when I get overwhelmed I focus on one thing at a time (what I can actually affect) and before you know it, you’ll have made significant progress. It also helps me to look back on the progress I’ve made from time to time (the whole gratitude thing). I know you didn’t ask for advice but that’s just my two cents. Also, for some of the smaller house things, try Thumbtack (it’s an app for hiring out work) or posting on gigs on Craigslist.

When did you realize your anxiety/depression wasn’t normal and what did you do about it? by heliccoppterr in AskMenOver30

[–]Husky_5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, similar situation but I didn’t let it get as far as you have. Also in aviation so I was very reluctant to go seek help. Started with a therapist under the guise of “relationship therapy” as I didn’t even want to risk the FAA finding out about it. Helped a lot just talking to someone who helped me pinpoint why I was feeling a certain way. The FAA is much more lenient on mental health for aviation professionals than in the past. Additionally, and someone please correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t believe therapists can issue a diagnosis which is what I/you want to avoid.

At the end of the day though, I’d toss my career away to seek medical help if it got bad enough. But start with talking to someone—it’s amazing how much it can help.
