Found my son’s old collection of gameboy and gameboy games with the boxes. I was wondering if this is rare? My brother said to just throw them out or donate them. I heard they may be rare and I would hate for a community to lose some memorabilia. My son passed away about 5 years ago.
10 months ago I broke up with my ex [24F]. We dated for 10 years.
Since then, I’ve talked to a couple people with romantic intention, but I’ve either been ghosted or found incompatibilities.
I’m not actively seeking a relationship, I want to be alone for a bit. These people i’ve talked to I’ve met naturally through life.
My life goals are to travel and gain life experience. I am graduating college and will be making 100K/yr (I already have a job lined up). I’ll finally be able to move out of my parents house.
Because I’ve only had one relationship, I want to focus on myself, I want to live life without being tied down, I want to be able to move where I want, travel when/where I want, talk to whoever I want. My ex was very controlling and jealous. I’m in a female dominated profession, and I wasn’t allowed friends, or talk to my peers. I never got to hang out with them, and I am resentful.
With all of that context, I’ve recently been talking to my brothers SIL. I will refer to her as Abby. We have been hanging out for the past few months. We align on a lot of things and have tossed the idea of dating around. There are just so many factors to consider:
- There is the fact that I don’t know if I’m ready, and I know that is probably the answer right there.
- there is the social factor, what are our families going to think? And if it doesn’t work out, would we be able to go back to normal?
- there’s some misalignment of certain values, nothing ground breaking. And I know going into any relationship, no one will ever align on 100% of everything.
- she smokes weed and I don’t
I like her, she’s attractive, she’s funny, she wants to travel, and would be okay living out of country. I tend to overthink everything, and deep down I know it probably wouldn’t work out long term. I’ve been open about all of this with her, and she’s been open about her concerns and desires too. She’s okay with continuing to hang out without rushing into anything or defining anything.
