Wish him a speedy recovery, glad he had his helmet on, a real solid helmet he got there.

Well she initiated the contact and now wants more, its over i believe.

you haven't cut the chords and are still attached to her, basically not ready to let go. Before bringing some positive change/growth in your life, accept that its over and start something fresh new in life.

looks like she has some other issues to work on besides having a crush on you. Her behavior is not good at all to be honest, just go along with that feeling you have now but don't have high hopes on it. Chill on a coffee date with zero expectations, there could be some surprises in that direction.

there is nothing called as soul mate in real world.

yes completely understand , we all have our ways of working through our loss and pain. I never spoke about my father's demise for some years, until i was ready. We are not some software without emotions although few functions of software like delete files from memory, block access to unwanted people, could be handy with humans in many situations.

well never believe in numbers , you are asking all these questions makes me feel you are already at a threshold.

well i believe you are right you should move on from this, there is no respect or love for you here.

lol its the moment you feel like you got teleported to some other location, can understand the feeling mate, you did well.

he is not over his ex clearly and you both seem to click initially but that connection is not strong enough for him to move away from his ex. You did the right thing, just block him and move on, spare yourself from the drama and pain with this association. Don't feel bad you invested your time its all part of life, the pain will go away as you get busy with life, dating others and looking for that special one.

silently move out, i have had that with one of my mates, even cousins, initially i felt bad that things came to a point where i never felt positive about myself when am around them. Slowly when you fade the contacts become less and it just becomes your past. Just be cordial when you bump into each other someday or some place.

just back off move on to a nice young single man who can be a better partner for you. Plan something with your friends outside work, take some leadership courses for your personal growth. If you cannot avoid him, move out of this company, block him from all your phones and social media. Any contact will only create issues with your future relationships. You are encouraging all this behaviour from his side, so just stop doing that.

well they just move on, get busy with their lives its nothing to feel bad about, sometimes some of the conversations can lead to expectations, we are all humans, so chill, many you meet in life never stay in your life forever.

well sometimes people also cook up stories about their state of marriage when in reality its just they are bored and want some fun to keep them entertained. You become a bait for them. Post all the fun activities they return back to their life and hunt again. You are the one who actually get hurt with the utter mess you get yourself involved with in the first place. You are not her saviour (read up on white knight syndrome) Being a colleague, keep things professional, help with details of domestic violence help line , tell her to speak with a lawyer for her options. Leave it at that and concentrate on work. You don't want her issues to take up your time in your work hours and after work too. Since you are single and you have time, enrol yourself in some good trainings or volunteer on some good cause, that would help enhance your prospects of personal growth and get more friends outside work. Date singles, save on all the drama, costs, waste of personal time, health issues and super nonsense that comes as a added bonus when we get involved with people who are taken!

another friend and colleague had his last day today, i was like super emotional but just said few words for his farewell speech, he is a real hard worker and people like him are rare to come by in life. I wished him all the best and parted over the call, usually we go for a team farewell party have some beers talk all the fun. sometimes these good people leaving company can make you feel bad about things in general you just feel lonely cause they were the people whom you had fun working with, chatting with and then hanging out for a smoke or a cup of tea. Damn!

have you ever had a conversation on being exclusive? feel 6 months is very early for the talks, may be he is thinking its just a casual fling for you. Sometimes a talk one on one do really help know about what the other is wanting from this relationship, so where are we going with this BF?

Mid forties here too been reading up on them, it seems it only gets worse as we age, the glasses are quite a discomfort , heard eye contacts work for many but can be some maintenance , a surgery can get this issue corrected with some fun stuff they do to the cornea

another day got a cisco initial HR call but had to cut it short due to a customer meeting and then later when i called she didn't pick up, so left it at that. worked till 3 am for a new production release and that just took all juices out of me, went straight to bed woke up to a nice piano instrumental its been a while with no music no drinks no work out no walks, lost some weight lost some eyesight, far is not ok anymore, need glasses for a while. life is still on

bullseye! just let it go don't ponder over it sometimes it can get you weird responses, silence is always golden , lived through that experience and went looking for a response believe me its never good, leave it at that 🙂

Spoke to sis she said to hang in there after i thought of withdrawing applications from cisco, overall it seems am not in a good space mentally, no time for preparation, no time for myself just going to work and trying to cover up pending stuff there.

Well some of my friends and colleagues are leaving the company, we were like talking and a good support through this covid WFH thing. 2 years on will be back to office in April for maybe 1 or 2 days a week, it will be such a weird place to go with all new faces, very few old colleagues around and they many moving to different departments. I have applied for jobs to few companies nothing has come by as a response, feeling bit down with everything around me. I need to move on from this organizational change causing lot of insecurities with work. I haven't worked out for a while that it seems has added to all this pressure cooker scenario. Stopped writing my journal overall feel like am going through some depression.

Best option everybody acts well have fun and go their ways later. Not sure if you get paid well or you need to pay to be on it.

Just ask him out you will get all your answers right there. Looks like the age gap is worrying you more. Maybe he might have a different perspective about the situation or something else to share to you.

he loves control, is just showing you his version of it think about the future and cut this short now before he showcases many more facets of control

3 months, i think we may have been infected with Delta, as WHO says Omicron for many didn't impact so much. Am being asked to take a booster but worldwide people are getting infected with booster as well. Sometimes i feel is there is no perfect vaccination out there but its important to take one of those to avoid hospitalization and severity. Get well soon bolt and your nephew, thanks for sharing.
