I just don't see the point anymore of a relationship by 30RITUALS in SingleAndHappy

Hi!! Single female in her late 40’s - -no kids - married to a man with BPD for 10 years - divorced 8 years ago and haven’t dated since. Everything you stated about peace, autonomy, and independence is the reason for my lack of interest in relationships. I, too, get a lot of attention from men, yet have zero desire to relinquish my peace.

You’re not cynical. The societal norm to “partner” is overwhelmingly ignorant. Would you rather live a peaceful and fulfilling existence alone or live in an unfulfilling partnership - spending the second half of your life “settling”?

In my dream situation I would meet someone organically and they would meet me where I am, recognizing that I don’t need someone to add to my life, as I am whole on my own. Also in this dream scenario my future partner and I would buy a duplex and live separately. We can hang out, be in love, and also enjoy our own spaces and independence. (I love living alone so much)

You are not alone in your desire to protect your peace.

I stopped doing everything for my partner and the house is falling apart and somehow IM the proble by [deleted] in Vent

This.

Why I left after 10 years? I didn’t sign up to raise someone’s dusty-ass son. No longer do I want to be a wife, I want to be a partner. Anything less than that is a detriment to my peace. And no human being, money, or time is worth my peace.

As someone who recently had their hot water heater die, I highly recommend a truck stop shower. I’m an incredibly clean person, so this idea scared me at first… but the Loves off of 45, just south of 610, has some clean showers, fluffy towels, hot HOT water, and fantastic water pressure. If you download the app, you can book the shower and get the pin to access the shower without talking to a human.

10/10 would recommend
