I stumbled into a serious monogamous relationship in my early 20s (late 30s now)
this was me too, but year and a half ago it became clear it wasn't meant to be anymore (i'm early-mid 30s). i've become More Okay with being single now that i've been finding other sources of community though, and i think just being In The World as a cool likable dude amongst likeminded people, eventually the numbers will work out. still, the evenings alone without that type of love to hold onto do hit, even though i'm finding other kinds of human bonds...
okay forreal a somewhat extended solo drinking break starts today, forreal actually forreal this time!! accepting tips and tricks from any fellow problem-drinkers-to-alcoholics-trying-to-improve, sound off!! (don't suggest tea though i really kinda just don't like tea at all)
