I feel like your partner/significant other is supposed to be that person you can confide in and feel comfortable enough to tell them anything and you know, just get that feeling that they can be there for you when you feel down. I don’t get that feeling with who I’m with. I mean..I guess it all comes down the fact that you’re on your own through everything. But damn..it sure is a lonely feeling sometimes.

Oofff…that is tough! It’s so important to have a good support system in your life. What is it about your SO that you are not getting the support that you want? For example, is it that he can’t relate or that he tries to “fix” things? Does he confide in you?

Honestly over family being on my back about marriage and my age being an issue now. I'm trying to look on my own but obviously don't want to settle for anyone. Sooo here goes: 26F Midwest, anyone looking or know someone looking. Also how do the rest of you deal with this pressure from family?

Do you have many LGBT friends and do you necessarily care if you do or don’t? I have one gay friend who I catch up with occasionally and I think my husband has two. I never really cared either way about it, however I feel like I’m at that point where you primarily make new friends through existing ones, and they are having children and making other “parent” friends. Between that and living in a SFH neighborhood in the suburbs, I’ve changed my viewpoint over the last few months.

Off-topic : Doing whf for past 2-3 years but now due to switch I have to travel outside home town.

Now, I am kind of both happy and sad. Going outside will get more social life and I can travel more.

Cons, I will be missing comfort of home. Couldn't take care of parents. Again I have to find house and settle with new roommates.

Confused about what to do. I don't even know if I want to settle in my hometown or any other IT hub.

Please share genuine advice.
