Where are you headed (in life)? Has an SO (past or present) impacted your plan?

Nowhere fast it seems. I've tried my hand at my own digital marketing and web design agency, but getting clients is pretty damn hard. I haven't completely given up, but I need to change tactics or something. I must be pretty bad at selling myself honestly.

My partners have mostly slowed down my progress significantly because of the amount of time I'd have to spend with and communicate with them. They were also more critical than supportive of my vision in my opinion. It's my own fault though. I didn't prioritize what I needed to and put my foot down. But I still hope to find a partner that is supportive of my dreams and however I get there.

My goal in life is still the same. Eventually buy some land and build my own house and campervan to live off grid. How I get there is still blurry.

You’re young and sometimes the memory of past setbacks taints BOTH how we see and present ourselves. It’s important to shake off the negatives quickly and keep moving.

After I got out of grad school I interviewed for a job with NASA. I have wanted to move to Florida since I was in high school. This seemed like a no brainer.
My wife came from a close family. Just the opposite from me.
She said if I wanted to go to florida I would have to go alone.

[DishLady]

Wow!

Are you happy with how stuff turned out?

[exitseven]

Truthfully, I still hate living here , especially now that summer is over but I would never find another wife.

I am contemplating a partial retirement at the end of this year.

A new wife and you are still healthy. Everything can go to shit in an instant. You should get while the gettins good.

[OlderAndWiser]

@exitseven Yeah, it's time to slow down and enjoy life.

[exitseven]

@OlderAndWiser and besides, you get to live in Florida.

[OlderAndWiser]

@exitseven The Free State of Florida!

I'm in the process of becoming a family man. And you bet your ass my wife had everything to do with it. She was the catalyst that made me want to grow up and be a better man.

[DishLady]

You two are a “salt and pepper shaker” couple. Both have to be at the table, matched set. My grandparents were like that too.

[worldscolide]

Thank you for that, and yeah i agree.

Past? 😆😆😆😆...

... I'm sorry, I was laughing at the idea of previous girls impacting where I went in life.

Current? In a big way, yes. I'm responsible for her and our children, so I have to make my decisions based on what's best for them.

Absolutely, but plans are flexible and need to be regarding love, especially when you also change SOs mid-life.

I was headed into pairing again after divorcing.

[MannMitAntworten]

To work :-p Nope.

[DishLady]

Lol.
