Do you live alone? I can afford to but I've always been attached to having someone to come home to even though my roommate and I don't see much of each other. But feeling a little silly at 27 with a roommate. Especially dating people say "I thought you were in consulting" and then the night kind of ends there.

It’s not strange. If you live by yourself in a city where you don’t have much of a circle, a roommate can help. You don’t have to be besties, but it helps that you have a soul to chat with or reach out to if you need anything (assuming your terms are generally cordial or pleasant). It’s really a preference thing. Each to their own and it’s really okay either way. As far as dating is concerned- I get that it can get awkward but it doesn’t have to be bad. It really depends on the people involved to be honest. I don’t live alone (22, recent grad). My roommate is seeing someone and they do visit occasionally and it’s alright. I have even hung out with them both (they invited ofc not imposing).

If it makes you feel better I still live with my parents lol

I just got my own place at 28 last year. It started feeling weird telling people I had a roommate at that age. I used to think I’d miss having someone to come home to but I actually realllyyy enjoy my peace and having everything be exactly as I want it to be

No way people stop talking to you because you have a roommate, tf?

How do you balance your social life with work? I feel like all my non-law friends are out doing shit every night and living it up on the weekends and I just can't.

Boyfriend has seemed to be dropping a ton on me lately, even after I got bad news that my company is t doing so hot this week and layoffs are approaching. First it was that we may be moving to another state for his job, then it was that his brother may need to move in with us for a few months after he graduates

It’s just a bit overwhelming at this time and I’m not sure how to communicate through all of this being thrown at me. 3 yrs together and we were friends for many years before that.

Stupid question but getting a divorce now and having a hard time figuring out what to do with sentimental things such as wedding pictures, travel pics, ornaments we bought together, etc. What did you do? Relationship was over 12 years and don’t know what to do. Should I jus pretend that those 12 years never happened or she was not there?

Divorce is amicable and based on growing apart rather than bc of cheating or fighting or anything else..

I’m scared I’ll end up being alone. I’ve truly enjoyed being single all this time but as time passes by, I keep thinking to myself that something must be wrong with me that I’m not in a relationship. I also don’t feel confident being on dating apps since I gained weight during the pandemic (about 30 lbs). I’m holding off on dating until I get into better shape but I’ll be 27 by then and I feel like I’ll be too old to put myself out there.
