never too late to start over if you’re unhappy where you are currently
Also, as someone 26 and dated a few people in their 30s, it’s still extremely young. Idk why people act like you have to be tied down before 30. You have plenty of time to find a good partner.

I’m 27, 6 years into a relationship and often have moments where I think I need to move on. It takes courage for sure, especially when there’s not a specific reason as to why you are doing it.

That’s me
I think our community needs to unlearn the idea that life ends at 30. You’re still young and have a whole life ahead of you; do what you need to live the happiest life you can.
I ended a five year relationship at 30. Was terribly hard but I’m so glad I did. Met my now husband a few months later and never looked back!
Just ended a 4-year relationship a few weeks ago. Slowly getting back out there. Thanks for sharing this!

Leave. And then slide in my DMs when you’re ready.

Jesus h Christ 31yo and you think you are already too old to find someone new?
Try 45. 50. People start over at all ages. Let go of your truly skewed idea of time. And don't stay in an unhappy relationship. Feeling too old to start over is a TERRIBLE reason to stay and you will just sink deeper into unhappiness.
I’m 31 and in the process of ending a 7 year relationship. I share the same concern, but I know I’ll look back eventually and realize 31 wasn’t “too late” after all. Good luck!

I'm 34 and in a 14 year relationship and miserable. Get out.
I hope you also get out M1! 💙
Please don't keep doing something that makes you unhappy just because you've been doing it for a long time. I don't care if it's been 4 years or 4 hundred years, if you're not happy there's no reward for staying.
At 29 I got into a toxic relationship that lasted a little over two years. In my head, based on my Southern Baptism upbringing, I thought I was getting too old to be in a long term relationship. It ended when I was 31.
One year later, I no longer felt I had to be in a relationship to be happy. Then I met the man who is now my husband, best friend and 15 years later still happy.
Please don’t do the math on my age…. 🤣
Is it fixable? If not then start over
I could forgive but never forget.
Reading this makes me feel like a complete failure at 37

The problem here is, basically, you people think too much.
