AVOID #1!!!
Better to be alone and free to think and explore than to be tethered to someone that holds you back from exploring life. Sex is a fucked up drug addiction without an opt out for most of us. I've made a lot of effed up decisions, but not marrying any of my 3 long terms was not one of them.
I don't know about y'all, but I changed a whole lot every 5 years since 20. I feel more settled in my late 30's Getting disabled at 29 shakes my perspective away from any kind of norm. I can't imagine those changes meshing with anyone else and surviving this long.
Thank you. This comment resonates a lot with me, as despite it having been over a year I'm still struggling with coming to terms with having had to break up a 5 year-long relationship for my own good (it's not that long in the grand scheme of things). The way I would describe it is that she was molding me into the person that I was expecting to become when the relationship started, which was totally different from the person I ended up evolving into. I am glad I did it, but I still struggle with the pain I caused her during the process.
I had back surgery last year at 29, and while I didn't end up disabled, I'm seeing my life change in small ways because of it. It's weird feeling so young but having to limit certain activities because you could become paraplegic if anything goes wrong.
I didn't have anything to add to your comment, I'm just glad you posted it!
