If you’re only staying in your relationship because you don’t want be to single, do your partner a favor and set him free so he can find someone who actually wants to be with him

I’m 39 and out of a 6 year relationship as of Aug 2021. I currently have 1,350 likes pending on Tinder. I want to settle down eventually… but it’s not hard to date. There is someone out there for everyone! So many nice, sexy men in the world waiting for you. It can overwhelming though to be honest. I do miss waking up to a cutie next to me in bed every day to hold, kiss and other stuff. That’s the downside for me. I like to start my day off that way. Don’t let age discourage you. And you need to be happy. I was depressed when I was first single again - but now things are good ✌🏻
I know a ton of people that date later in life with success. They could have had bad marriages, career progression, family issues etc. there’s no such thing as a gay death

I was in a LRT from 27-32. It was toxic. I moved out. Spent a year single figuring out why I let that happen and learned to love and appreciate myself and realize I was better than that. A year later I met the man I have been with for 15 years and couldn’t be happier. It’s never too late to fight for what you deserve! Don’t settle, you will be miserable 😕
Pro
It gets harder and harder and harder over time but if you think 32 is old, try becoming single again at 42+ which is where I'm at. And in the meantime if your relationship is done and run its course and you know it, then you owe them the courtesy of freedom instead of holding onto them as a security blanket until you grow a pair and finally do what you already know you plan to do.
Well let’s go on a date, D1. 42 is 👌🏾

I ended a 13 year relationship last year, and I just turned 50. After the dust settled, I started dating other guys and can’t complain. I get guys in my age group and more younger guys that I would have imagined when I was younger. I can’t complain about the dating pool.
Damn D1. Can’t keep ‘‘em away
Yeah my bff just got married at 44. You don't want to be with someone just for the sake of being with someone. My husband wouldn't meet me if he didn't end his 9 years relationship with someone he didn't really love in a romantic way.
Pro
18. Dating is always hard, the reasons just change. When younger, immaturity and lack of knowledge of self can be huge issues. When older, there is a smaller dating pool. Pick your poison.
Attempting to fix the relationship is generally good, but don't feel like your options are bad relationship vs forever alone.

Yikes. It would suck being your partner.
OP - sounds like you never should have stuck around in the first place.
