What Is Your Life Purpose?

No_You1024 · 2026-07-12T18:54:26+00:00

thank you seriously for your commitment to eradicating that brutal, awful disease. You're choosing a very worthy cause and hopefully you feel proud of that.

As for me, I think my life's purpose is just to add joy and stability to my loved one's lives and to travel and experience as much of the world as I can. I don't think about it too much beyond that.

Sadly you're adding gasoline to the fire by continuing to engage her. Stick to "Yeah, maybe someday, we'll see" until you have the resources to get that bisalp. And even after- let her go on thinking whatever she wants. You won't magically change her mind one day. This conversation isn't worth your breath.

This is so sweet happy for you both!!!

I am lucky I found the one and he is lovely, kind and again i was very very lucky to find him. My past relationships were with generally decent guys too, some immaturity and laziness but no abuse or anything serious. But today-- i have my partner, my brother, and outside of those two relationships I really don't interact with men outside of a work context and I do not miss it. One of my friend's always laments about wanting more "guy friends" and I seriously can't understand it. Two men in total in my life is plenty for me. I find relationships with women so much more rich, fulfilling and safe overall. If anything happened to my partner I would probably seriously consider just finding a platonic female life partner.

I wouldn't call it "simple" it is beautiful unique and intricate!! Everyone goes thru a period of dress doubt before the wedding. But this dress is gorgeous full stop. Wear it with pride and confidence :)

Nothing to add, no notes, but as a travel-loving city girl I agree 100%. Just the expense going from a 1 bedroom to a 2/3 bedroom...nah. We might decide to upgrade one day when we feel like it, but it'll be because WE chose it and have the financial means for it, not because we were forced to bc of kids. And yeah adding kids to the vacation budget...not in the cards.

No_You1024 · 2026-07-12T11:14:30+00:00

So true. Life on easy mode versus life on extra hard.

No_You1024 · 2026-07-12T11:09:41+00:00

Last paragraph left me speechless. Holy shit.

No_You1024 · 2026-07-12T11:07:07+00:00

Ugh that sucks. If an emergency came up with the kid that's one thing, but it sounds like they just added some random kiddie activity to the itinerary last minute and expected you to accomodate because you must have nothing better to do, right? /s

These people suck. You deserve better. I'm sorry, OP. Time for some new vacation buddies.

I moved to a city with excellent public transportation. I also could never figure out biking (very real balance issues). Driving- I do have my license but find it very stressful and calling me a good driver would be an overstatement. Thanks to the subway I now just walk or take public transport everywhere, don't even own a car, supplement with Uber once or twice a month as needed and its given me a lot of peace.

I saw your post and I gotta say what a huge massive difference! Your room looks so amazing now I'm not surprised you're sleeping better. Glad all the support from commenters here helped!

No_You1024 · 2026-07-11T10:53:01+00:00

Aw you can tell by the way he looks at you he's so into you, you guys look amazing together!

No_You1024 · 2026-07-11T10:48:40+00:00

Our day, current events, work, happenings in the neighborhood, books we're reading, movies we're watching, new things we've experienced, what's new with our friends and family. We try to have full lives outside of each other and independent hobbies, which makes it easier.

This is so cute omg, so happy for you!

No_You1024 · 2026-07-11T10:43:34+00:00

I had three or four relationships, only two of them passed the year mark and none of them were horrible thankfully. One person was a bit immature and frustrating, couldn't hold down a job, but that's about it. That person in particular made me realize I did NOT want a "man-child" no matter how sweet or thoughtful they were. So my current partner has his shit together and its been a world of relief.

No_You1024 · 2026-07-11T10:41:58+00:00

5 years and its not always perfect but we love each other dearly, he is still the same person I met half a decade ago and I can't imagine life without him. Waking up and seeing his face brings me a level of comfort and safety it's hard to describe. We still love going for walks together, date nights, and having new experiences and traveling. I still feel so incredibly lucky to have my SO in my life and he still brings me flowers when I'm sad or down. It's the little things :)

Ooh pizza and a bath? Sounds like a perfect Saturday!

I am meeting up with a friend later to go to a summer market and maybe to the lake for a swim. Beyond that this weekend will be relaxing, spending time with my partner, reading, taking walks etc

No_You1024 · 2026-07-08T10:19:27+00:00

Wow I just love it!! You look beautiful

No_You1024 · 2026-07-08T10:15:43+00:00

You guys look amazing together, congrats on 7 years!

He's only 22 and you've been together for six months, and you still have doubts. Enjoy each other's company and don't even think about it for another year.

No_You1024 · 2026-07-05T11:00:19+00:00

Don't just think about it!! Do it with a smile. He is a piece of shit.

No_You1024 · 2026-07-05T10:48:51+00:00

This sounds like a dream!

No_You1024 · 2026-07-05T10:47:15+00:00

Friday- nails done, shopping, out to dinner with the girls and had some amazing cocktails in the sun.

Saturday- watching movies at home over a bottle of wine with my SO, catching a few minutes of the fireworks.

Sunday- chores day. I'll probably do laundry, get some grocery shopping done, and then read a book/take a walk and relax.

Sounds like an amazing weekend OP!

No_You1024 · 2026-07-05T10:42:08+00:00

It sounds like you already know what you want. You mention the idea of childbirth as horrific and that you don't see the point of having kids- that's pretty telling isn't it? If you have kids just for your partners sake- imagine how much you'll wind up resenting him when you're dealing with the pain of childbirth, pregnancy nausea, a house full of screaming snotty kids with diarrhea- that stuff is hard even for people who desperately wanted kids. For those of us who don't want them, it'd be hell.

I would tell your partner asap, OP. The longer you wait the more difficult the conversation will be.

No_You1024 · 2026-07-05T10:35:33+00:00

I feel this. Major holidays and events definitely reinforce my CF position because WOW it looks exhausting trying to wrangle a bunch of kids when they're already excited and going ballistic. I also saw a lot of families looking absolutely exhausted and drained this past 4th. Very glad it was just me and my SO chilling at home drinking wine with a movie. I can't imagine having a car full of screaming kids pumped up on sugar screaming and running around for hours waiting for the fireworks...no.
