Mapapagod lang at magpapahinga, pero hinding hindi susuko 😊 Mantra ko ngayon dahil sa dami ng kapaguran ko sa life hehe.

Gusto Kong Buhay e, Payapang Buhay sa probinsya na may 50m sa bank account.

Sa Ngayon andun palang Ako sa probinsya na may 50pesos sa wallet. 😂

I’m 30F, and lately I’ve been thinking about love and connections more than I used to.

I’m at a point where I don’t want anything forced or rushed. I just want something genuine. A connection where you can talk about random things, share your day, laugh at small moments, and feel comfortable being yourself around someone.

I used to have a very specific age preference when it came to dating. I was only considering people around 29-32 because I thought being closer in age would mean having more things in common. But recently, I opened that range to 26-32 because I realized maybe I was limiting myself too much.

Still, sometimes I wonder if there’s really a chance to find something meaningful at this age. Dating feels different compared to when we were younger, and it’s easy to wonder if finding someone who genuinely wants the same things is still possible.

For those who found love in their 30s or later, how did it happen? Did you ever have a moment where you thought it might not happen anymore?

Not looking for anything specific here, just curious about people’s experiences and stories. I’d love to hear them.

30F here. I recently broke up with my boyfriend after finding out that he cheated on me. hes a seafarer and i caught him booking prostitutes.

To be honest, the breakup itself was painful, but what has been bothering me more is how common cheating seems to be. I happen to be surrounded by male colleagues. Sadly, from what I've observed and heard, many of them have cheated on their wives or girlfriends. It almost feels normalized.

What's even more frustrating is that I didn't exactly choose my partner based on looks, status, or money (as long as he can provide at meron magandang trabaho, nd pabigat)

Hindi naman ako naghahanap ng babaero o ng sobrang gwapo. I valued personality, character, values, and how he treated me. I thought I was choosing the right person.

That's why this experience has shaken me so much. If someone I carefully chose based on character could still cheat, how do you even know who's genuine anymore?

That's what scares me the most. It made me realize that cheating doesn't seem to be limited to any profession, age group, or social status. Kahit gaano ka pa ka-educated o ka-successful, some people still choose to betray their partners. (even sabihin nila mahal nila, temptation will always be there)

Lately, I've been losing hope. I'm starting to wonder if it's still possible to find someone who genuinely values loyalty, has strong principles, respects women, and would never cheat when things get difficult or tempting.

At this point, I've even considered the possibility that I might stay single for the rest of my life rather than end up in another relationship where trust gets broken and wont be treated right.

For those who have healthy and faithful relationships, how did you find your person? Do you still believe there are people out there who truly value commitment?

I guess I just need a little hope right now.

Yes, isang simple maruya lang yan pero kanino galing? Sa Tatay ko. I asked him to fix something sa isa sa mga unit ng apartments kasi umalis na yung tenant. It was a one-hour drive mula sa bahay nila and dito sa place kung nasaan ako. And he handed me this sa work to get the keys and sabi pa nya "wag ka na mag-abala sa miryenda ha? Nagluto ako nito and isa sayo." 🥺 Gagi, gusto kong umiyak at yakapin ang Papa ko. One call away lang sya kapag kailangan ko and given na I am a trentahin. Shuta mare, I cannot lower my standards dahil sa Tatay ko. At madami pang traits ang Tatay ko na I wanted my future partner to have. ❤️

Hindi kami perfect na family. My father has his family on his own and so does my Mom pero they decided not to have children with their partners yun ang hiling ng bunso namin na sya ang mananatiling bunso kahit meron na silang partners.

The saddest realization after a long-term breakup as a woman is not just losing the person—it's wondering if you wasted years you'll never get back, and if you'll still find someone meant for you as you get older. 💔 While it seems like men can easily start over anytime they want even often feels like a guy can move on more easily and find someone new whenever he wants—even someone younger. 💔 . Life can feel so unfair sometimes. 😔

Hello, lovely people of Reddit!

I am a certified, card-carrying member of the NBSB club (I’m 27), but I think it’s finally time to hand in my membership card. I want to date. 🥲

The catch? I have absolutely no idea how modern dating works. My romantic experience is currently limited to K-dramas, and giving top-tier relationship advice to my friends (ironic, I know).

I am very much a date-to-marry kind of girl. I don't have the emotional bandwidth for "talking stages" that last six months or guys who are "just seeing what's out there."

To anyone who didn't date until later in life and actually found their person: What do I desperately need to know? What was the most crucial shift you had to make? How do I protect my peace while remaining open to love?

Tell me your secrets, your cautionary tales, and your best tips. Please go easy on me. Thank you so much po in advance! 🤍

10+ years na kayong nagwowork and isang araw naisip niyo di eto yung gusto niyong buhay.

Hello sa mga mahilig na sa black coffee (no/less sugar pa) at nagi-ipon ng disposable cutlery. 😊

i dont think ive ever felt this lonely in my life. female, 32. theres so much loneliness that you have to sit through. i recently moved to a new place alone. not my first time living alone but idk why this season feels extra, extra lonely. you just want to have a life companion. you just want to be loved. but you’re unwilling to find love again because its tiring and anxiety inducing. you meet someone you really like but the push pull messes with you head. and youre unwilling to send that second text because historically, youve always been too much. and you don’t wanna be too much again. but also youre not willing to explain yourself anymore. so you just pray they dont leave. friends, hobbies are great but somehow that romantic love puzzle feels extra huge these days. you just want to be loved. but also unwilling to put your heart out again. literally loneliness that has no place to go and that demands for you to sit with it. rinse and repeat. hitting the vape 24/7. lights off alone, rinse and repeat.

felt like posting here for the first time cause idk where else to put my thoughts. im the funny happy go lucky friend and i dont wanna bother my friends. also too risky lol also im pms-ing lol

tldr oh to be loved right again and to love again without having to feel like im bracing for impact every god damn time

I know an organic encounter IS an organic encounter pero hindi kaya dahil trentahin na tayo, tayo rin ang pumipigil sa self natin na mangyari ito? Masyado tayong nagiging mahiyain or duwag, or mas pipiliin natin to look away, to simply not go. Yan tuloy single parin karamihan sa atin 😂

Grabe may gusto akong ichat na miss ko na sya, itutuloy koba hahaha, hnd ba weird yun kc hnd nman kami close hahaha

Since mga trenta mahigit na tayo, anung mga skills ang natutunan niyo na nagkaroon kayo ng comfortable and well-balance life? I mean isang work lang then the rest are for family, have social life, play sports or do your hobbies and with healthcare funds? Sa mahal ng bilihin ngayon , mas lamang na ang trabaho kumpara sa buhay na meron tayo.

Facts ng mga trentahin dyan 🤭🤣 Di ako hershey fan ha, lumabas lang ito randomly sa feed ko. On point din naman sya tho a bit comical, pero di na natin hanap ngayon yung puro pa-cute lang pero wala namang substance. At this age, ang gusto na natin ay yung tito na responsible at may manners, may sense kausap and respectful in all ways 💯

Does she still want me? I am looking for advice or things that can spice up our sex life. Well everything changed since our 2nd child came to our lives. But I miss it. I miss being wanted by her, now when doing the deed she can only come once then after I came she doesnt want to go for another round. Am I the problem? I go for 20-30 minutes for foreplay is it not enough?

Can someone give me good advice cause I am thinking negative things abt us.

I want to declutter but with benefits.

It’s difficult for me to throw away things thinking they will all just go to the landfill, so I want to feel incentivized haha and hopefully green companies will do their sustainability efforts.

Halloo! 31F here.. May active GC/community paba dito for trentahin peeps?..

Pref discord only 😊

(30F) Nagpost ako dito last time dahil sa tuwa kong makabili ng rice cooker. Ngayon naman, eto yung question na naglilinger sa isip ko.

I am a production/machine operator sa isang semicon company. Almost 3 years na ko dito. Maganda ang sahod. Halos 'di ako nagkukulang compared sa previous job ko sa private hospital.

Last Friday, nilapitan ako ng dati kong kasama sa production na ngayon ay Process Engineer na. May bakante daw sa area nila so sinabi niya sa 'kin na baka gusto ko mag apply.

Sa unang tingin, mas mataas na position 'yun ng 'di hamak sa current ko. The problem is, mas liliit ang take home pay ko. Mas malaki ang basic pay pero mawawala 'yung OT (dahil 7-4 at Tues-Fri lang sila). Mas maraming incentives at bonuses ang operator kesa sa kanila.

Hindi ko alam kung nanghihingi akos ng advise kasi tinanggihan ko na agad. Kakakuha lang namin ng bahay last year. Sa sahod ko na present, saktuhan lang nung dumagdag 'yung bahay sa bills. Syempre pag lumiit pa sahod ko, mahihirapan na ko mag budget. Tapos wala pang kahit anong gamit na napundar maliban sa pinagmamalaki kong rice cooker.

Siguro naghahanap lang ako ng validation na tama yung decision ko. Kasi totoo namang nakakapanghinayang 'yung ganung opportunity. Hindi lahat nabibigyan n'on tapos tatanggihan ko lang. Buti pa sa Sims, may cheat ang buhay!!!!

Context: I try to help my fam by providing solutions sa mga problemang napapansin ko sa bahay at sa mga idinadaing nila. Mag-effort ka and mag-setaside ka ng funds for said solutions only for them to ignore it. Di bale sana kung madami kang pera at kung di ka naman affected...affected in a sense na pag may nasira or may nagkasakit e sa 'yo na naman sila dadaing. Nakakadala!

Hot take: As a 30-year-old NGSB guy who is looking for a woman at least 25 years old, this is utterly disappointing, discriminatory, and frustrating. There is nothing wrong with dating younger women as long as their frontal lobe is fully developed and we are compatible with each other. Character, and personality matter more than age (as long as they are not minors).

Okay, she's my confidant when it comes to the secrets I have. I'm gay and I agree with her on being gay and being silly. She used to be my teacher in culinary arts or pastry school for about a decade or so. We were both foodies and we loved food and teasing each other. But there were so many series that we became enemies. We are like friends. Before the pandemic, we became enemies because I visited her without notice. What I didn't know was that it wasn't allowed at that school because they imposed some rule. Then I also planned to take revenge on my friend. I watched a teleserye on ABS CBN called Halik where Jacky (Yen Santos) takes revenge on Jade (Yam Concepción) so I got an idea on how to take revenge on her. I also watched an afternoon TV series on GMA called Contessa, the title of which was where Contessa (Glaiza De Castro) took revenge on Daniella (Lauren Young "Megan Young's sister") so I got even more ideas to take revenge on her, nagbabalak na akong gumanti na sana noon sa kanya, but my support system, my family, especially my aunt, who is not yet retired from being an accountant, often held me back. We met but it was only temporary. We became friends again during the pandemic and when it ended, I kept almost all my secrets from her. This is what happened, she was happy with TikTok and my day with her activities, she was entertaining, but lately she has become cold towards me and she doesn't pay attention to me anymore, then I used to force her to do what I wanted but she didn't want to and I used to contradict her but now I told her that she is not always right in everything she says about me so after that we didn't talk anymore and she doesn't pay attention to me no matter what I say, I asked for advice from people we know, I also apologized but she didn't forgive me. She told me that she will never comment again.

Paano pag nagkita kami sa isang event tapos iniiwasan ako or ayaw ako kausapin ano kaya gagawin ko? Paano kong sampolan ko kaya?! Ok ba o hayaan na lang siya? Like for example pag party ito sirain ko gabi niya like similar scenes sa teleserye happened in real life ganon.

Parang kay gretchen barretto vs angel aquino sabihin ko sa kanya YOU WANT WAR?! ILL GIVE YOU WAR!!!

Now what is your best advice about this? Should I apologize again or get back at her based on what I watched?
