Life

Hey, I think I have midlife crisis of some sort or something, I really need to vent out and hear other peoples meaning, advice, similar experienc, so here a bit about myself. I am a 28 years old male turning 29.
I have lost my girlfriend, not that she died, we just broke up.
Been together for 8-9 years, we had it alright together, like we could talk og laugh, but we kinda lost the spark. Sexlife went bad and none existed, like I would love to try new things, and she didnt, it was a bit hard to be in but I accepted it, because of love.
There has been up and downs like any kinda realtionship, but think we stayed together for too long. Dont know why we stayed together so long, was it really love, that just became everyday life and we forgot how to show it and use it? Or was it the feeling of something safe, something we knew was and the unknown was frightening? It was just not losing a girlfriend but my best friend also, a person who have also been there, through thick and thin.
I never got to travel the world, I kinda feel the regret of that. Dont know why I didnt do it, maybe the time or my upbringing. My parents have always been focused on me getting a high education, like my broth

I get the idea, the main issue seems to be how this is handled which makes the reaction pretty predictable Feels like there’s more coming here.

this feels rushed rather than thought through which explains why reactions are split Interested to see the follow-up.

Stepping back, this solves one problem while creating another and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone This could age very differently in a week. That’s the impression it gives me.

On the surface, this feels like a half-step, not a full move We’ll see how people react over time.

the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where people will push back

At first glance, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s where the disagreement starts Not convinced this is settled yet. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
