I need a reset, but can’t get a new job, relationship or the sense of achievement I once had. Covid stopped my dating life, except online where the women all seem to be looking for someone to settle down with.įriends see that I’m doing very well from the outside – I’m still getting matches on dating apps, I live in a nice place and earn more than I spend and don’t really see how I could have a problem, but it feels like I’m just stagnating while everyone else is moving on. They’ve now got dogs, marriages and kids and, although I’m happy for them, it means they are less available.
Ī lot of my friends settled during this time. My family struggled at first without my dad, so I spent time supporting them, but now they’re in a good place, so I’m not needed. Because of the pandemic my company limited my job to a desk-only role, and they are happy with that despite me doing almost nothing. Then my relationship broke up, my father died and Covid happened. I had a long-distance relationship and friends around the world. Until a couple of years ago, I had a stressful but rewarding life working abroad and travelling. The question I seem to have lost all momentum in my life and I don’t know what to do.
