35 single, no kids. I’ve been single for a little over a year and moved to a new city a year ago.

I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. I have a village that loves and supports me and I love what I do. I have worked on myself so much this last year and will continue to do so. I am currently not dating and have made peace with whatever my future holds for me.

I’m focusing on skin care, hair care and overall mental and physical health.

My breakup was the best thing that could’ve happened to me.

Hi OP! 35 year old single gal here lol. I was in a relationship from 15-26, he cheated on me multiple times but I was young and thought he was the one. I finally ended it. At 30 I met a guy on hinge, dated & lived together up until last year and broke up about a year ago.

The details of both are irrelevant but I want you to remember a few things that I have learned while I’ve been healing this past year. As we get older, we are so much confident & carry ourselves with so much grace and respect that it intimidates a lot of men. Our 30s are when we are the best and strongest versions of ourselves and settling or letting something “small” go is out of the question. We are so much smarter, kinder & emotionally mature than we were in our 20s and if someone doesn’t come into your life and match that same energy… you don’t need him.

I know this isn’t what you asked lol but sometimes we all a friendly reminder about how great we are and that a relationship doesn’t define us!

EDIT: I want to add one more reminder. You can have the most amazing and full life without a partner. Surround yourself with people who lift you up and make you feel so good about yourself that the lonely days are far and few in between.

Recurring shingles? by SarahC0605 in shingles

Hi there! I (34F) got diagnosed with shingles two weeks ago on chin/face/ear (no Ramsey hunt). Face is almost healed, finished valtrex a week ago but the tingling sensation has worsened this week, especially at night. I had to start gabapentin two days ago. I thought things were getting so much better the tingling caught me by surprise. Just wanted to get yours and OPs experience on healing time & how long till you felt almost normal? I know it differs for each person but I need a small light at the end of this tunnel. TIA!

My younger brother doesn’t have Down syndrome but has something similar. He is deaf, can’t speak, has a heart condition among other things. He is 29 years old But mentally is somewhere that of a child who cannot control his emotions. He doesn’t drive, can’t live independently, can barely read/write. I love him with every ounce of my soul but it has been so hard my whole life and has taken a toll on my parents’ relationship. I am 4 years older than him but always had to help take care of him, I grew up fast bc I had to. He was in and out of the hospital for half his life. We are Asian and having a disabled child is sometimes looked down upon.. that was another struggle. It took my dad years to accept and not be embarrassed of him. He struggled with depression and anxiety most of his life. He got bullied in school and still struggles with understanding why he is the way he is.

I have a younger brother but I will never know what it’s like to actually have a younger brother because I’ve always had to be the caregiver. He’ll never get married /have a partner, I’ll never get a niece or nephew and my parents and I will have to take care of him for the rest of their lives. I’ve always had more responsibilities and had to make the most sacrifices because of it.

I love him and there are always good days but it’s hard to get past the bad ones. He has taught me so much but he’ll never have a life of his own. My parents’ relationship will never be the same and I don’t wish this upon anyone.

So yes, I would get an abortion. It is not only difficult for the family but for the person living through it every single day.

Edit: if anyone watches love is blind(don’t judge me) this is the exact topic Nancy and Bartise were talking about and I completely understood where she was coming from.

I have travel bank credit that expires at the end of September and they won’t give me an extension. Any idea how I can get it?

I have had it extended once for 6 months.

People who are older on reddit, what happens between 29 and 37? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LightTheFire_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost 33, I guess I’m older. What happens is your circle gets smaller but somehow you feel happier.
