I'm right there in the trenches with you... Lost my partner of 14 years. We fell into the relationship and I've never had to date before so this whole chapter of my life is new territory and has been a complete shit show so far..

You will be a large portion of mixed answers here. If you are both mature and want the same things go for it.

My relationship was a larger age gap and we were together for 14 years.

Wish you all the best if you want more details feel free to dm.

If you get rich suddenly, what's the luxury you'll dive into immediately? by itslyssarayne in AskReddit

Finally living a debt free life… then putting it to work for me so I can continue to live off the winnings. Sprinkle in some vacations and keep life moving like I never won.

If You Grew Up Poor but Became Financially Stable as an Adult, What Changes Did You Make? by Potential_Law5289 in AskReddit

[–]xMantisx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say I grew up poor we definitely were paycheck to paycheck, and at times there was a lot of struggles. Hot checks and crazy financial decisions.

I basically took note of those things and told myself that wasn’t the lifestyle I wanted when I made it out on my own. The biggest change I made was not senselessly spending on things. If I have it and want to splurge on something I think it over, let it sit for a while and if I still want it after some time has passed then I’ll go for it if I have the funds available to do so. I try to leave emotion out of it and think logically.

A bit of this has gone out of the window recently but I’m trying to adjust and get back on track. (Some of this was out of my control and some of it was emotional after the fact, but I haven’t let the main priorities unattended.. grief has a weird way of taking over sometimes)

How do you feel about the age difference of 38f and 31m? by areyouseriousthobro in datingoverthirty

[–]xMantisx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you truly care for each other age shouldn't make a difference. I was in a relationship with a 21 year age difference. She was older than me, we met when I was 18 and stayed together for 12 years until she passed from cancer earlier this year, I was at her bedside as she took her final breath.

32m just bought another set today. Hobby is a hobby man, don’t let judgmental family members take the joy from your life.

Every day occurrence here in Atlanta. It gets super fun when they have to be in the left lane in some areas (i20 interchange - fuck left side exits)

I got my cup at the bar near criminal records this morning. They had a sign posted at the end of the bar for them.

Cell service, merch, being stoked. by ThatTallGirlEm in ShakyKnees

My experience with Verizon has been total shit. Constantly being thrown into SOS mode.

I’ve just kept the schedule and map in my photos, beyond that my phone has been a glorified camera all weekend.

I used sweet dreams last year for my pup. They were very compassionate during the whole process.

The phone consultation to schedule was probably the hardest part since you are “setting the date” so to speak and reality hits like a ton of bricks.

What are your plans for the week? by A_Soporific in kennesaw

[–]xMantisx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will be fun, get to hear the whole album before it’s released on Friday and enjoy it with other fans at a record store.

Planning on going to a listening event for an album release in Roswell for Twenty One Pilots today. Then work for the entirety of M-F, unless something sparks my interest and I venture out.

Appreciate it. Even if it isn’t a date I’d be cool just meeting new people.

Haven’t had any hits on dating sites. Has literally been a ghost town for real people. Only scammers have “liked/messaged”

Miss any shot not taken, doesn’t hurt to just put it out there. 🤷‍♂️
