Hey Reddit community,
I’m a 40-year-old girl and I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on why I seem to struggle with sustaining relationships. It’s not that I’m not interested or don’t put in effort, but somehow things just don’t seem to work out in the long run. Whether it’s communication issues, compatibility problems, or just bad luck, I can’t seem to find that lasting connection.
I’ve had my fair share of relationships, but they all seem to fizzle out after 4 months. They always come back but I don’t trust them at that point. I’m starting to wonder if there’s something I’m missing or if there are patterns I keep repeating without realizing it.
So, fellow Redditors, I’m turning to you for advice and insights. Have any of you experienced similar challenges in your 40s? What strategies or approaches have helped you navigate the complexities of relationships at this stage of life? Any advice or perspectives would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been single 20 years now. Thanks in advance!
