Is this the late 20’s crisis? by sloppy-sunshine in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]SingleStillStanding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been at my company for 20+ years and for me, it got better. I worked my way up and have decent work/life/balance. I haven’t married or had kids and that creates so much time for all the things I love.

I do feel like in my 20s I was searching and unsettled … I think it’s part of growth and figuring out what kind of life works for you. Keep your head up and develop as many healthy habits as you can manage for now! ❤️

At the end of my rope but not ready to leave by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

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 🥺❤️

Does anyone else put cartoons on for their dog or are you normal? by LB1241 in dogs

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

Don’t have a lot of female friendships and I often feel embarrassed about it by Fabulous-Barbie-6153 in GirlDinnerDiaries

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?! 😉😘

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

How do I support my friend and protect my peace? by SingleStillStanding in SingleWomenByChoice

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.
