We had been together for two years and everything else clicked so well. Shared hobbies, good communication, the kind of person i actually enjoyed coming home to. Then one night we finally had the real talk about future stuff and he said he never wanted kids at all, like zero interest ever. i always pictured having at least one.

i ended it right there because i knew it would build resentment later. Its been a couple weeks and i know it was the right call but i miss him like crazy and feel guilty for not catching this sooner. Has anyone else had to end something solid over one big incompatibility and still questioned if you should have compromised?

our old crossover is getting too many miles and repairs are adding up fast. we do about 25 miles each way for work plus weekend drives to local trails with our two dogs. im 39, wife is 37, budget around 19-22k for a 2019-2022 model with 50-80k miles. the Subaru has the AWD and ground clearance we like but the Honda is supposed to be more bulletproof long term.

a few dealer ones look solid with service records but private sellers are cheaper. we dont offroad hard just gravel paths and snow sometimes. anyone owned one of these recently for similar use and have strong feelings either way?

im 39 and single with no kids. My job is fully remote now and ive got a decent nw but staying in this high cost area means grinding another 7 to 8 years minimum. A friend moved to a medium size city in the south and cut his expenses almost in half while keeping similar income.

It sounds smart on paper but i keep thinking about rebuilding a social circle from scratch at this age and whether id actually stick with it long term. The math is tempting but the lifestyle shift feels huge. Anyone else seriously considered or done the big location change for Fire and regret it or not?

i bought some grounding sheets after reading about how connecting to the earths energy reduces inflammation and helps you sleep deeper. figured id try it for a month since my job has me sitting all day and my back always aches. the first week or so i thought maybe i was sleeping a bit better but now its been three weeks and nothing major has changed.

still wake up tired and my joints feel the same. they werent super cheap either. is grounding actually a real thing or just pseudoscience?

i started aiming for 10k steps every day for the past six weeks because all the health people say its the magic number for staying fit and living longer. my retail job keeps me moving but i added extra walks to hit the goal. at first it felt good but now my knees are bothering me more and im exhausted by evening without seeing much change in how i look or feel.

its free but the pressure to hit it every single day is getting old. is the 10k steps thing actually backed up or just a random number everyone repeats?
