Is it ok to feel sad to see other women in stagnant relationships?

[Anonymous]

I was once there (not anymore) and know exactly how it feels. There was a time I was depressed. Last week or so, a female acquaintance asked me for my advice on how her relationship of 1 year can progress and how she can avoid wasting time since she's in her early 30's. Some other younger woman asked me for a similar advice. Apparently, I'm become a point of reference by now.

I really hope they get out of that rut eventually and find the happiness they're looking for. As much as they want commitment from their bfs, less are willing to give it. It's sad seeing those other women stuck in stagnant relationships. Is it ok to feel bad for them? That was me once.

Absolutely, feeling empathetic towards others who are in a position you once were isn't just okay, it's a sign of a deeply caring heart! It's like looking into a mirror of your past and remembering the emotions and struggles. Love, after all, is not supposed to feel like a one-way street where you're stuck at a red light forever, right? Your empathy is a testament to your growth and the desire to see others flourish in their relationships, too. Plus, being a source of wisdom for these ladies? That's a badge of honor. It shows you've not only navigated out of those treacherous waters but also turned around to be a lighthouse for others. So, yes, feel what you feel, but also remember to sprinkle a little bit of that optimistic pixie dust their way. Who knows, your words might just be the nudge they need to seek happiness and fulfillment in love. Keep sharing the love and wisdom! 💖

It is sad, but we can't all be winners.

Indeed. Hopefully they get out of that situation eventually. There is always someone else that's willing to commit if their current bfs won't.
