▲ 32 r/Bath

Just moved back to bath... struggling.

30 years old male here. I grew up in bath.I have a decent job. 80k in savings. I feel like I should be happy. But i'm really miserable.

I want to live in london really. I just got pretty much forced home for a while due to multiple unfortunate circumstance. My job is there so... I'm lucky I don't need to be in every day. But I don't want to live with random people anymore. I don't want to live in some hovel outside london. Renting is insane in london. and I'm really quite afraid of the commute I'm going to have to deal with now. Even if it's only once or twice a week.

But due to multiple reasons, I have had to move back to my parents today. I don’t know for how long. But I’m going to save for a few months, work hard, gym a lot. And try to recover from a really hard few months. But 100 pounds for the train each time... It's unsustainable for me.

Being single at this age… it’s pretty lonely. I have no friends here anymore. Me and my ex split 5 months ago. Everyone in this town seems to be either old or with someone. Don't get me wrong I love bath but I'm worried about my future...

I'm just really starting to worry. I never seem to find women anymore I’d genuinely like to build a life with. dont seem to get many likes on hinge recently. maybe due to age. not sure where I’m headed in life now. I don't feel like the UK is that feasible post 30 without a partner unless you're really wealthy.

I really need some help. I love bath. I love my home. I love the rugby here. But I feel I'm just going to completely stagnate here

Just moved home to my parents… feel crap not sure what to do now?

for the last 2 and half years I’ve been living in london with some friends and I’ve… found it hard. but I wanted to be in London for a long time and I love the big city.

I have a good job. I’m slowly building a career. and even though it’s been incredibly challenging and at times extremely stressful, I’ve learnt a lot and feel I had a load of potential in London.

until I got screwed over by a few people. my housemates. then another friend who was gonna be a housemate (he stopped replying to me 2 weeks before i had to mI’ve and was generally very difficult to communicate with ) and now I’m at home at my parents 2 hours away for a while. I don’t know how long I’m not sure where I want to go from here

I’m trying to see the positives. I’m lucky I can work hybrid and be okay. I’m lucky I can save at my parents.

but I’m turning 30 next month. I don’t really want to move into a flat share anymore with random strangers. I’m tired of the stress I’ve had with this. i see people who are uni leavers turning up to London, excited to get on the dating scene. fit and young. and although I’m fit, I feel like I’m starting to get old. hitting 30 soon. moving back to parents…

I can’t help feeling like I’ve been left behind. I’ve managed to save 100k and I’m on 65k a year. but in London that really doesn’t go far. dating I don’t really know what to do as I’ll be leaving home again within hopefully a short time.

I just feel really lost and feel like I’m running out of time... the last 6 months I’ve had a foot infection that hospitalised me, a break up, lost my flat, moved back to parents…

lve also now been told to come in a few times over the next few weeks. the day i move home . after not really needing to for 2 years… its 120 quid a train and 2 hour commute

im finding it really hard and Honeslty Not sure where to go
