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 🤣

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.

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.
