Age gap in relationships

27F divorced and I have a kid and I've been divorced for almost 6 years

I just had two marriage proposals from kinda wealthy men who are looking for a second wife

I kinda refused because one is 54 and the other is 55

I feel like it's a huge age gap

But in my situation I know it's probably better since I won't be finding a young guy who's ready to take care of a family....or should I keep my hopes up....

What do you guys think... ???

Ps: pls don't dm me I'm not looking for men or anything

Thanks

Am I depressed, or just completely lost in life?

I’m 27F, and honestly, I feel like I’ve lived a lot already, but somehow ended up nowhere.

I lost my dad when I was 14...we were pretty close 💔After that, my mom became very focused on work, and I took on a lot at home: cooking, cleaning, laundry, basically helping run the house. I also struggled with my body image, especially because of pressure and comments from my family.

At 18, I got engaged and eventually married. I wasn’t forced, but looking back, I don’t think I was mature enough to understand what I was choosing. My biggest dream at the time was actually university.

I spent three years in an increasingly unhappy marriage, living with his family and dealing with a very manipulative mother-in-law. Eventually, my family told me I wasn’t myself anymore.

Then I became pregnant. It was an extremely difficult pregnancy. I spent around eight months on bed rest, and I was carrying triplets. Sadly, two didn’t survive. My daughter, my little supergirl, did. She’s six now.

I’ve been divorced for about five and a half years, and it’s probably the one decision from that period that I don’t regret.

I eventually went back to studying got my degree, but I still feel like I never really moved forward. I used to have dreams and ambitions. Now I honestly don’t...

I’m unemployed, struggling with my mommy weight and body image, and most of my days are just housework, cooking, scrolling on my phone, and taking care of my daughter. My mom works and has dreams and ambitions and I don't...people sometimes compare me to her and I feel so bad about myself...

Today I just lost it.... I went to the kitchen and found it a huge mess...

I'm the only one cooking, doing dishes, taking care of my daughter...but they see it as if I'm in the house all day doing nothing so why not take care of the house...

The confusing part is that I’m not sad every second. I can laugh, talk to people, take care of my daughter, and function normally. But underneath all that, I feel completely drained and disconnected from the person I thought I would become.

So I’m wondering: does this sound like depression, or am I just completely lost and exhausted from everything that’s happened...or maybe I'm just being a brat

Ps: please this is not an invitation for men to dm me don't bother I'm not responding...

The weirdest date I’ve ever been on with an Algerian “actor”!

So I’ve been seeing those TikToks where girls share their worst dating experiences, and I figured I’d share mine too 😭

And please, before anyone starts lecturing, yes I know relationships are haram. I’m just sharing a life experience and hopefully hearing yours too so we can all learn from our mistakes lol.

So one day while scrolling on Instagram, I came across this guy’s profile. He was attractive honestly, and after checking his page I realized he had played a small role in an Algerian TV show. Not exactly famous, but not completely unknown either.

Later he followed me, liked and commented on one of my posts, and we started casually talking on Instagram. One day he randomly called me saying he injured himself while playing football ⚽ which I found kinda odd for someone I barely knew 😭 but I ignored it.

Eventually he asked for my number and we started talking on WhatsApp. He lived in Dubai and worked in a restaurant, but came to Algiers to visit family. What really threw me off was how intensely attached he got SO fast. Like full-on lovebombing me as if I was his girlfriend of 5 years. At the time I didn’t even realize that’s what it was.

Anyway, he asked me out and I insisted the date be somewhere public. We met at a bus station and took a taxi together. The first thing I thought when I saw him in person was: “he’s SHORT short.” 😭

We walked around for a bit before the movie started. He excused himself to go to the bathroom and I noticed his walk was kinda… odd. The movie starts and this man WOULD NOT STOP TALKING. Then he started getting touchy which I kept shutting down because I just wanted to watch the movie. It was a Brad Pitt movie but I forgot which one.

Suddenly his whole mood changed. He looked at me in this really scary way and yelled:

“KI NKOUN NAHDER M3EK CHOFI FIYA”

I was honestly shocked and scared. I finally told him: “You do not talk to me like that.”

Then he started defending himself saying I misunderstood him.

We left the cinema and he just kept talking while in my head I was thinking: why am I still here??

Then out of nowhere… HE TRIED TO KISS ME 😭

At that point I genuinely thought this guy was unstable. I wanted to leave and he told me I was “acting like a Karen.” Then he insisted on getting me a taxi home. He came with me and sat in the front next to the driver the entire ride biting his nails and ranting about how he has everything in life and how hard it is to find “the right woman.”

I got so uncomfortable that I asked the taxi driver to drop me somewhere far from my actual house because I didn’t want him knowing where I lived.

After that experience, I swore I’d never go on a date with a man again unless he’s my fiancé or husband 💀
