30M here and about 2 years ago I got out of a 6-year relationship. It was emotionally and financially draining — she was never wrong, and I was always the bad guy.
It didn't start out like that but over time I started noticing the bad habits. She's a great and caring person, don't get me wrong, I just didn't like who I was changing into. Always angry and snippy at every small thing.
I’ve always wanted to study, grow in life AND in my career, instead of just scraping by month to month.
It’s been two years now, and I’m finally close to finishing my dream trade.
I’m a bit of a hermit — I’d much rather spend quiet, quality time with someone than be out in noisy, busy places. I have this amazing friend (32F) who just gets me. She understands me in every way and always manages to make me laugh and smile. We do almost everything together, and when I’m with her, time just flies past. Without her, I’d probably just be at home, stuck in my own little world. Day in and day out.
Over the years, I’ve developed real feelings for her. She’s cute, very smart, witty, kind and has a big heart for all animals. She is just perfect in every way, I really like like her.
After being in such a long-term relationship, I’m just wondering… when’s the right time to start looking for something real again?
Someone you can hold, cuddle, cherish and just be with. We don't even have to talk but just exist in the same space — someone you can share quiet moments and dreams with.
Should I wait until I’m qualified and done with my studies?
Or shall I wait a bit longer?
The industry that I'm currently in doesn't offer anything in the line of relationships.
I don’t mind being single for a while longer, but lately, I’ve been feeling that need for a human connection — someone who really knows you, your flaws and your victories. Someone you can help through their fears and insecurities, and we both can grow.
