is 3 years too long to wait for the dating app glow to wear off
Quote from Natalie1966 on February 26, 2019, 8:00 pmI signed up for Hinge three years ago after the divorce papers were final. I thought I would just browse and delete it. I did not. It is 2 am and I am sitting on the couch in my oversized cotton sweatpants. My ex takes the kids every weekend so it is quiet now. I scroll until my eyes hurt. I paid for the premium subscription last month for forty dollars. It was a waste. I keep thinking if I quit now I lose progress. But I am tired of swiping. I went to Target yesterday to buy laundry detergent and felt lonely standing in aisle 4. Is anyone else stuck on these apps for years without meeting anyone real?

Quote from Sunlitrain1996 on April 2, 2019, 5:50 amomg sis no you ain’t fd. i literally passed out in the squat rack once. it was embarrassing as hell but my heart just couldn’t keep up with the hype man in my head. just drink water, sit down, and breathe. nobody cares about you as much as you think they do. we all clowns in there anyway. take your time.

Quote from Teresa1978 on December 4, 2019, 5:07 amArre, ye kya baat hai. Ngl, My husband also sleeps with mouth hanging open, looks scary actually. I tried taping his mouth once with medical tape, he woke up confused next morning. Now I just give up after two years. It is annoying but not dealbreaker for us. Sahi hai, we make do. If you cant handle it, try nasal strips maybe?

Quote from Cardinal on September 8, 2020, 1:33 amit is definitely worse. Omg, i stopped swiping last month because every guy under 40 wants a baby mama who cooks kabsa and cleans his house. i just want someone who pays half the rent and doesnt talk about crypto. honestly its better hanging out with my uncles at the weekend mall than dealing with these weird men. tired of explaining basic respect.

Quote from Karen1980 on August 31, 2020, 6:24 amSame. I feel like I’m running on fumes mostly. I’ve started drinking way more water and forcing myself to put my phone away an hour before bed. It helps a bit but honestly I think it’s just burnout from work and life in general. I’m not even that old yet but I definitely feel it in my bones lol.

Quote from snowvine on August 12, 2020, 9:36 pmhon i set clear boundaries day one. told her house rules include no rituals in living spaces. she can do it in her own place or outside. simple as that. been married 12 years, never had issues since. if you dont speak up they just keep doing it. be direct but polite. my dad in law handles the stuff now. works for us.

Quote from Shadowrout on January 5, 2020, 6:55 ami stopped drinking homemade aguas too. I swear, thought it was healthy but the sugar load is crazy. my doctor said natural sugars count just the same. now i stick to water with lime or sparkling water. annoying at first but my labs look better. just wish someone told me earlier.

Quote from Gentleforest1993 on February 17, 2021, 10:38 amim done with the whole find god thing honestly. its exhausting trying to fit into someone else's version of spirituality. i just go to the river, sit in silence, and let the water do the talking. no rituals, no forcing it. sometimes the earth is enough. rest is its own form of prayer for me right now.
