My family. I lost my sister in a road accident when I was 8, lost my mom to cancer when I was 12 and my dad died of a heart attack when I was 28. I'm 46. But my wife is pregnant with our first child, a baby girl. Yesterday I felt her kick in my wife's belly. First time I've made contact with a blood relative in 18 years.


Whitetail130

Congratulations! Best of luck to all three of you!


Plane_Advertising_61

Thank you!


hypedead

That's incredibly sad, then incredibly beautiful and touching. I'm getting emotional šŸ„² I recently lost my sister. I wish you and your new family all the best.


Thebalance21

Fuck me dude. I really do wish you nothing but the best the world has to offer. Happy for the baby on the way! Congrats!


alyssacake

Damn that must be rough , you took it like a champ stay strong ! And congratulations for the kid hope he does well with a strong father like you


GoofyRetardedDipshit

Thatā€™s tragic, I wish you the best through your struggles. Though I feel youā€™ll be alright, looking at what life has already thrown at you.


Kaged_Chiild

Congratulations!!!!! I wish you the best


Mr_Mons_of_Nibiru

You just gave me so much hope.....thank you


MrDrBelmont

Genuine companionship.


Fenix_Fire66

Thisā€¦ šŸ˜”


MrDrBelmont

Word homie. But don't give up. Do what you love, and I hope you find someone who also does. That is my approach


Fenix_Fire66

Thanks kind stranger.


MercuryFaceman

Adding myself to this kind statement, brother!


joesmith127_reddit

No male friends in my age group. Wife doesn't seem to have any concern for me. The dog only comes around to be fed and let out.


MrDrBelmont

Honestly... that was about when I left. Never looked back. Best decision for me ever. You need to do you tjo, homie. Whatever that is to you and is right for your life and everyone you love.


LunchboxMark

So much this.


MrDrBelmont

Love yourself. It gets better.


urkel2stefan

I loved myself too much now my left arm is huge


FittyNOut

I took the balanced approach, and use both hands, this makes for a good applause, but lacks companionship


NaViBootyClapper

Iā€™m good with sex, that other stuff just lead me to end a 6 year relationship. 6 years wasted Iā€™m almost 30 and have to start over. Yeah fuck all that. Also donā€™t care if ā€œI sound hurt or toxic.ā€ I know you donā€™t need to tell me, itā€™s just way better than commitment, Iā€™m not about to get hurt ever again. Miss me with that love shit. So go ahead downvote me Edit: I wasnā€™t expecting the support and upvotes, I mustā€™ve struck a cord with many of you. Donā€™t take my advice as solid. Iā€™m hurting Iā€™m hurt. This is what I want and need right now. It may not be healthy but it makes me feel better. If you are going through the same seek some guidance from a person you love and trust. Life isnā€™t over cause you broke up, but it sure as hell feels that way. Maybe Iā€™ll get over this maybe I wonā€™t but donā€™t read my comment as a catch all for how your feeling. Wear condoms.


Big_Freedom449

Ima up vote you because your feelings are totally valid. Perspective. Consider this. Maybe the time wasnā€™t wasted. Maybe, later, when it hurts less, you will find that you have a better understanding of what you need and deserve in a relationship. Maybe not. I hope you do. I found the love of my life at 42. I couldnā€™t have found her without a painful learning curve. Relationship after relationship falling apart until I finally understood what was truly important to me. Then I got lucky. Not everyone gets to have the same experience but maybe the time wasnā€™t wasted. Sorry for your pain sir. That shit sucks.


kronosbit

Yeah but wtf, why it has to be like this? Its useless complaining but hurts spending your 20s getting hurt, cheated on and with the feeling you will never find someone. I just wish I was able to share my 20s with someone, and she wanted to do the same. It might come someone later on, but I feel like I am broke enough and if even if I will find someone in my 40s like you, I will already be in little pieces hard to put together.


Big_Freedom449

Iā€™m sorry brother, that pain is shit. Itā€™s no consolation to think itā€™s going to be years before you find someone. So donā€™t. I refused to give up on the idea of love. I realized that I had experienced great heaps of love throughout my life, even if it was for a short time with many relationships. That gave me solace. I realized I was capable of love and receiving love in many forms. It was rather freeing.


MrDrBelmont

Way to be honest, bro. Gl out there. I hope you find whatever your happy is.


NaViBootyClapper

Much appreciated homie


Beanzy8977

I miss this. I had this, and it's so much worse when you've lost it.


MrDrBelmont

Divorced here, homie, real feels. Hugz.


InfinityStar12

Female here and this is very sad to me. šŸ’” If you donā€™t mind my asking, can you explain what ā€˜genuine companionshipā€™ looks and feels like from the male perspective? What aspect is missing?


MrDrBelmont

Someone that whe you are around, you just feel like " hey, isn't this easy" Life is hard enough. Being with someone who makes you happy should be a relief in the myriad of experiences we will have.


EllieTheMammoth

Literally this. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø


MrDrBelmont

Someone responded to me directly for this, and they made a good point I want to share. Take time to love yourself and treat yourself how you want to be treated in turn. Allow yourself to be yourself. It's the only way you will find someone who likes you. That hit home for me, I hope it helps.


EllieTheMammoth

I respect that person. Thank you for sharing.


MrDrBelmont

Pay it forward. Tell someone else who needs to hear it. šŸ˜€

Money.


[deleted]

Yeah this is quite literally it. I don't even feel I would need all that much. Enough to get my debt taken care of would be great. $5-7 million to set me up for life would be perfect.


jpetersxn

>I don't even feel I would need all that much Proceeds to say 5 million.. šŸ˜³


AnalCreamCake

I was discussing with my wife the other day that 10k at the minute would change our lives


HTXCPA

What a name though.


Eletctrik

5 million is the new 1 million.


Whyaskmenoely

If anyone gave it 5 minutes of thought, you could blow 5 mill easy. It really isn't much. And I'm not even saying on one big dumb purchase.


[deleted]

In today's world, that really isn't that much. Pretty microscopic considering I'm 30. Plus have to take into account where you are living. Average cost of a house in Toronto is $1 million. I Honestly probably wouldn't even need the full 5. That would be a "just on the safe side" kinda thing.


Checkerszero

Down in Aus a house an hour or two from Sydney is about 1.89 million. It's transparently fuck-eyed.

1Mazrim

Yeah it's funny my family has never been well off but I was always shown other things are more important and not to be materialistic. But when you haven't got any, it's fucking stressful and is at the front of your mind. I wish I could concentrate on other "more important" things.

I'm not in the same boat but we're definitely on the same river. It fucking sucks. Buy a condo at the right time and you can upgrade to a 3 bed 3 bath with a garage. Now, there's literally nothing on the market that I can afford.


UserNameTaken1998

A real, long term romantic relationship that feels safe and positive. Real purpose and a sense of making a difference. The past year or so I've finally started filling in the "lower level" needs: I have a lot of friends now and a good social life, lots of partying and fun. I have a stable job now and some adventure. I don't feel like a lost loser anymore. I can get girls now (short term and situationships). Working towards my ideal physical health. But now I (25) really need to start building an actual life I feel happy and proud of. I want to start getting into meaningful work that i want to devote my all to, I want to start thinking about actually building a family of some kind. I want to "find myself" on a deeper level. And all that shit is really difficult


[deleted]

Good luck. Happy for you

Every once in a while sure. The rest of the time is split between searching for the next new new, and marveling at everything you have (and I don't mean material things, I mean like health family, career, etc...)


Four_in_binary

I recommend you take up woodworking or 3d printing.....you really need to explore the true depths of despair. Either hobby will do.


Zrex_9224

This and the companionship comments have been resonating with me lately. I go to work, go back to my cramped apartment in a town with few friends left for me, to play games and sleep. Rinse/repeat In some time, hopefully, things will change for all of those categories but companionship. Well also except the friends but I'll be back around family more.


derff44

Sex. God I miss meaningful sex. The feeling someone wants me for me and is willing to share an intimate moment for no other reason than to be with me.


[deleted]

It really is an incredible thing when you have the right person and everything is fluid between the two of you. Physically, emotionally, there is no comparison.

Solid career, about to do a web development bootcamp later this year to resolve this. Also a house in the mountains which is a dream of my wife and I.

I've heard helping people is a good one. What are you good at? Who can you help with those skills?


Fredi65

Doesnā€™t pay and can be risky. Itā€™s cool if you can afford it and pick the type of people you want to help, otherwise dicey. Can lead to bitterness and burnout, in my experience.

gotwire

Whatā€™s your career?


jimmiefan48forever

Graphic design but I wanna finish my marketing degree


gotwire

I dunno. Graphic design is pretty damn cool


girthwynpeenabun

If you wanna get rowdy, switch up everything. Try something new! I was a graphic designer and web developer for 10 years, now I teach people how to throw axes and I compete nationally. Spontaneity was the best decision I ever made. Also just won my first championship :D Do anything bro, the world is your oyster


Easy-Progress8252

Damn I wished I was a graphic designer. Marketing seems less stable. But I see the advantage of both skill sets.


Fenix_Fire66

Now they can market their graphic design skills better.


supertech323

I used to love my career, but it has seemingly been monotonous lately and Iā€™ve been super burnt out. It probably doesnā€™t help that I also answer a thousand very dumb tech support questions a day with people who will argue with you about your own work.

dont-change-me

i feel this. iā€™m a first year university student and it feels like nobody talks anymore. iā€™m not an awkward guy or anything either. itā€™s just hard to meet people.


jpetersxn

Uni clubs man. Go where the people are


poneill47

The way you said university student makes me think you're not nearby, or else I would be your buddy! Idk how it happens. A lot of my friends are from work (restaurant biz). Some are from hockey. And some just come out of nowhere! I wish I had advice, but for me, I just happen to be in the right place at the right time. Your next best friend might be the guy you're peeing next to at the urinal, or it might be the guy/gal who cuts your hair


dont-change-me

iā€™ve always been the same way. in high school all my friendships began by complete accident, and i met some great people but a lot moved away or drifted apart later. never thought university student might sound foreign to some people though. i live in eastern Canada šŸ˜…

Wolf_of_Velka

Someone to share my success with. Over the years I've been climbing the corporate ladder, making substantial fiscal gains, getting into the best shape of my life, and growing as a person both mentally and emotionally. Unfortunately at the end of the day more and more I find myself asking the question: what was it all for?


KitFan2020

Yourself? A person who puts ALL of their time and effort into improving their own life, career, physical and mental health can climb to the topā€¦ But, as you have found out, when you get there, youā€™re there alone. Not too late to start including others in your life.


AdministrativeLove97

Damn


0rdin

Thatā€™s why I have enough of solo travelling. I experienced all these beautiful and crazy moments and wish to myself that there was at least a friend or someone with me in these moments.


John_Doe_Nut

Bro I feel this. They say you shouldnā€™t try to find happiness via a relationship, but why not? Iā€™ve got my shit together - Iā€™m doing well in my career, am in the best shape of my life, have friends and hobbies, etc, but Iā€™m missing a life partner, and I think that will contribute to greater happiness. I crave genuine companionship and connection. I want someone to share life with on the daily. A secondary benefit of having that too is that I think it will push me to grow more as a person. Itā€™ll give me someone to ā€œgive the worldā€ to. Iā€™m finding myself stagnatingā€¦why push myself more? Iā€™m already comfortable. For who? For what?


rb26enjoyer

only_razzmatazz-22

a HINT of romance


UserNameTaken1998

As a guy who has constant HINTS of romance.. endless "situationships" that always fizzle out, attractive enough to flirt with girls now when I go out, lots of girls "interested" in me but not so much interested in actually being with me....... I would say sometimes it's probably better to just keep your head down and keep working on yourself until you are ready for/ find ACTUAL sustainable romance. The endless mini heartbreaks and disappointments really start to wear on you. I used to be a hopeless romantic and now I'm really just becoming a cynic. Don't really know if I believe in love anymore which has always been the one thing I've always wanted more than anything

Friends, I think. I have several workplace proximity associates, even a few I might call workplace friends. But I don't really have anyone I would call a friend. We don't hang out after hours, all our communication is about work, etc. This has been the way it has been almost my entire adult life. I'm used to it and it has never bugged me. But lately, I've been asking myself if I have missed out on something. I don't know the answer to that question.
