Wanted to share smth I found recently. I felt like it was pretty darn accurate. I’ll provide the link here but there’s a screenshot I took that I feel I can relate to quite heavily. https://pairedlife.com/love/infatuations
I’ve struggled with so many heavy infatuations before and a friend recommended this. Hope it helps anyone else out there who’s gone through this or may be going through this right now.
I wish I had someone to hug me

Why terrified?
I got divorced at 42 (also female) and had temporary terrified issues too, but with the help of a good therapist, I turned it into an opportunity to rediscover myself, think about what I really wanted personally and professionally, invested time in both new and old hobbies, spent time with friends.
After 3 years finally stepped back into dating pool. That was awful, honestly. But after a year met the man who I can only describe as my soul mate and learned what it meant to really love someone as a “soul mate”.
It was a painful divorce process but it turned out better than I had hoped/expected.
Be strong! While it may hurt now, turn your eye to redefining your future !
I’m so happy for you D1 ❤️
That’s an amazing story. Best of luck OP! You can do it too!
Hi OP, agree with others, if he is not the right person for you. But love is worth fighting for, try to make it work. Réinvente yourselves as a couple, be curious about each other, try to see a therapist if this is necessary but don’t give up until you tried everything!
OP, Il vaut mieux etre seul que mal accompagné
Not saying it is easy or ignoring the concerns but I personally have met my wife when she was 35. My colleagues just got remarried and she is 38 and I can give u many many examples...
Most European now a days engage in their 30s.
You have a good job working for a great company (Kind of, it could have been Deloitte or our Firm... but still OK) and you will be fine
The world is what you make of it. You’re single at 34, I didn’t graduate college till 25. You’re a beautiful soul and absolutely worth it, don’t let anyone - even yourself, put you down for being who you are and where you are at in life.
Completely ok to be scared. Makes total sense - just understand that emotions are a lot like the weather - come and go unpredictability. Lean on friends, reach out, let people know if you are struggling and need company. You’ve got this :)
Happy to be a sounding board and try to help
Thanks for sharing D1
