I have been apartment hunting in the Austin area. I need to move closer to work. The commute is emotional damage lol. I’m being dramatic. Nonetheless, I need to be closer to work.

My question is does anyone have experience or feedback to give about renting a room in a house and sharing common area with roommates?

It is one option I am considering, but hesitant to go this route.

Depends on the roommates. Be selective.

Reached out to an ex after not being in contact for 4 years. Said “Hi, I hope all is well.” No response. Intention was not to get back together (we’re both married now), more to mend fences since we were good friends once upon a time. Was reaching out a mistake?

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

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