Text my husband to make sure he knows I'm alive. Also location share for safety. And let him know if I see a hot guy.

I appreciate a proof of life text.

But I also want her out having a good time.

Although last night was a bit too good and came home at midnight super drunk and throwing up. So that ruined my night helping her and then had the kids all day because she kind of had alcohol poisoning. So that ruined my day having kids all day and no me time. BUT, ultimately I'm glad she had fun for a bit and then learned her lesson.

Maybe she just needs encouragement... It was my husband's idea 🥰

I check-in every few hours, if there is a location change, or if I’m going to be later than I originally told him. He does the same.

We will also just text each other if there is something innocuous we want to tell the other (gossip, funny thing at home, etc).

Mostly out of mutual respect, safety, and we just like to talk to each other.

Married, but no. Maybe a text or two of just “how’s the night!”

When I’m out, I usually try and text or call before they’d be going to bed just to check in with them.

Or if I’m the one at home, I usually text them when I’m headed to bed

Same. I always text when I’ve made it home safely.

I like to just send a text if something is going on or if I have something particular to say. I don’t necessarily expect a response right away.

No. I'm too engaged, and if I'm not, then I just go home.

We usually do, but no, it’s not expected unless something like timing changes. Gotta know if they’re out having fun or in a ditch somewhere.

Me and my partner don't drink but we message before going out, e.g. " Going to X, gonna be with Y & Z, probs be home for 11pm"

I’m mid 30s F. Recently started seeing this guy, where he is “good enough”. Good conversations, decent time together, he has a good heart, but nothing about him shines. - not fit (I work out everyday and play sports), meh social skills (he doesn’t have best friends, just few he hangs out with), bit less energy than me.
There is a feeling in me that says “he’s going to be a comfortable life partner” and “he is just good enough, but if I break up I won’t find someone for a long time”
Do I stay?

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

180k condo in booming area close to downtown or 85k condo in the suburbs?

I make 150, with no debt (car, student loans, etc), graduated 2021, and want to ensure I can invest and live comfortably. The total payment/HOA difference between the two is $1250 and $550 per month.

I’m thinking the appreciation will be much better in the 180K condo, but I think the 85K condo will allow me to invest in more rentals.

Weirdly enough renting in the same areas would be $1500+ for a smaller place🤷🏽‍♂️
