oh doodles - hope you manage to find something good for you to get involved with....
My philosophy on life - is that we need to be able to give ourselves the things we need in life - and not rely on others to do it - that way any partner is kind of a bonus rather than a source of life essentials... Don't know if that makes sense? I am married, love my husband but probably get a lot of my support from close friends and here of course....Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
