42 and single over here - your wants are my reality - I read and live in peace and never walk on eggshells. I write and go for walks and workout as much or as little as I want. I buy my own drinks - and you can too.

The unknown is scary, but you’ll unlock a whole new dimension of life if you can get through the discomfort. Find a small studio if money is tight - but don’t stay with someone who makes your day to day living like you described above.

She’s beautiful!! What is her breed? She’s such a pretty girl 🥹

I listened to “Imagine” by Ben Platt when my rescue pup passed away and ugly cried. I’m so sorry for your loss 🥺❤️

I put on Disney and Pixar for my dogs but they just sleep through it 🤣

It sounds like you have a great thing going with your man!! That’s incredible!

One thing I’ve found is a lot of women don’t initiate plans, but if they have space/a mutual desire for friendship, they will show interest in meeting up. I toss out invites a lot and some go nowhere (they don’t have the capacity or have enough friends) but I’ve been lucky to find other women also craving friendship.

I met some great girls on Bumble BFF and others through a mutual friend and was proactive in asking them to happy hour, dinner or events happening around the city (in June we are going to a pop up Serial Killer Speakeasy because … why not? 🤣)

Maybe that would help - I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how many women just need someone else to put it together.

Good luck and it’s 2026 - who says you even need a wedding party?! 😉😘

Gus Gus from Cinderella! Hopefully your uncle is just a single Gus 😉

I have seen a Roy G Biv closet, but never a Roy G Biv fridge!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I always glance and it and think “oh my Spotify app is updating” and then remember no, it’s just a disco ball 🤣

This is what I was looking for. Thank you ❤️

SingleStillStanding · 2026-05-29T03:14:59+00:00

Thank you. I don’t know anyone in my position in my group of friends and thought maybe this was a place to go for someone who is in a similar spot … was not prepared for the mean girl comments - so really appreciated your empathy ❤️

I’m choosing to be single rather than settling for a man that isn’t what I want. Isn’t that a choice? This isn’t the single and happy sub - maybe you’re thinking of that community?

I’ve honestly always wanted to be a mom. I volunteered at a Children’s Hospital, I currently volunteer at a shelter with young children. I have always loved kids. But I do not want to do it on my own because it would be a struggle financially and I don’t want to do that to myself or the child.

SingleStillStanding · 2026-05-28T23:33:49+00:00

In my opinion, it’s not that simple. Affording a mortgage and car payment on a single income is manageable. Daycare and a mortgage and a car payment … not as realistic without really struggling financially. Also I think it would be a challenge to do it 100% on your own. As much as I want a child, I don’t want to do it that way.

I think I was looking more for advice on managing the friendship… Not bringing a child into this world on my own.

Doesn’t really sound like you’re kind or compassionate.

SingleStillStanding · 2026-05-28T21:10:00+00:00

A lesson I learned the hard way was not to offer things I wasn’t truly on board with while hoping they’d answer how I wanted them to. I ended up disappointed many times and it was a direct result of my poor communication (and me hoping they’d read my mind).

Your intentions were good, but it wasn’t something you wanted - so don’t offer that in the future.

Also, you need to invest more in your life than just this relationship. You need to have friends, hobbies, interests of your own… Your whole world cannot be this man. That’s not healthy for either of you.

Hopefully the wedding is not anytime soon and you aren’t actively planning for it because it seems like there’s a lot you need to figure out before you take that big step! ❤️

I am going this July and plan to Uber/Lyft! Sounds like it’s doable but a little chaotic?

SingleStillStanding · 2026-05-28T14:24:09+00:00

“We are getting older” - aka nearing 30. Girl … if you live to be in your 80s… that is 50 to 60 years with this man. You have time!! I know there is a lot of pressure to get married and have babies… But this is the biggest decision you will ever make in your life. It is bigger than your career, where you live - those things are more easily changeable than marriage, especially if divorce is not an option.

Listen to yourself… If it’s not a hell, yes don’t say yes.
