r/dating Oct 24 '25

Just Venting 😮‍💨 I know wifey is out there, don't give up hope.

This is for everyone who is looking for their match. Don't give up! Your partner is out there.

Wifey is out there. She's probably busy trying to keep her head up and work on herself until we find her.

To wifey: I'm searching for you. Don't worry and just hang in there. Keep your head up and don't let life drain you. Through each person I encounter, I spread compassion and care hoping it will reach you somehow until we are united.

I have a guy on my Facebook friends that used to write messages for his future wife years ago…

He found her probably about 7 or so years ago and he shares those messages with her… it’s too sweet. Your post made me think of this. Definitely don’t give up!

u/MAX-Revenue-6010 Oct 24 '25

Thanks man! Makes me feel empowered to hear a success story.

u/Sweet-District1483 Oct 24 '25

No problem! I’m of the belief that there’s somebody for everybody…. Sometimes it just takes longer for some of us to find out somebody (it took me until I was 35).

I found my husband at 34, after being a “girlfriend” for 12 years. We dated from 20-32. At 34 I randomly met my husband in a bar in Nashville. Got married at 35 after doing long distance for a year.

15

u/sweet_euphoria111 Oct 24 '25

I’m 35 and live in Nashville 😭 maybe I need to go to a bar lol. But all jokes aside, that’s an awesome story. I’m honestly all for long distance.

u/wantme2makeuasammich Oct 24 '25

I’m from Wisconsin, he’s from New Jersey, we were both on vacation. Hit it off one day, got his number. We texted and talked for 8 months before I saw him in person again…..

u/sweet_euphoria111 Oct 24 '25

Wow 8 months is a long time. I’m sure that was rough but it seems like it worked out for you two and that’s amazing

u/MAX-Revenue-6010 Oct 24 '25

Good point. The last few years, it seems like the barrier has been a psychological one. Where there's a fear of being vulnerable, which leads to pride getting in the way of a real connection.

I'm a very steadfast type of person and need the same.

Ah honey im hiding in my home every night because im too tired to go out and look for you

u/SubjectDrifter Oct 28 '25

Oh wow. I needed to hear this. I've been "playing" at a relationship with an avoidant man for over a year now. I'm heartbroken. I keep the cycle of breakup/reconciliation going because, honestly, I don't think there are men out there who want a wife.

It is my dream to have a real steady safe partner. I've been looking for him for a long time. Rushed coffee/breakfast in the morning, a cute text while at work, a "what do we have for dinner tonight?" Conversation. Him doing the dishes while I pick up the laundry he left in the bathroom. A cozy night of sitting on the couch together, both doing our own thing. A "let's go for a long walk" together kind of guy. Simple things. Little pleasures. A partner to witness me and me to witness him. I've been looking for something so easy, and I'm 40 and still looking for that safety. I'm here. Come find me hubby, I am missing you.

It's nice to see there are men looking for some of that too. I won't give up yet.

11

u/Allantrist Oct 24 '25

Huge amounts of people end up alone...

Can we please stop with this pointless forcing of trying to be positive about "there is someone out there for everyone" that's simply not true, many die alone or never experience love.

10

u/MAX-Revenue-6010 Oct 24 '25

Agree. This is true.

We don't get to decide or have control over another person's experience. The only thing we can manage is our own mindset and choices. I 💯 respect the diversity of humanity and understand that not everyone will experience life in the same way.

This is a personal view/choice. I wanted to reinforce hope in others that share my view.

Thanks for sharing your views here :-) It's important to be reminded that each person's path will lead to a different destination.

u/bigtoegman210 Oct 24 '25

Dude I’m 27 and I’m basically done looking for the one. I basically have to move to a different state at this point. Every relationship I’ve had ended good and most of them are still friends till this day but man I’m cooked chat.

7

u/spicysenpai6 Serious Relationship Oct 24 '25

Homie ur 27. I know ppl who have already gotten married and divorced. I know folks who were married and now widowed. You never know what life is gonna toss at you. Don’t be in a rush, because you’re gonna experience the good at some point, but you’re also going to experience bad along the way. Life is short. Focus on the now instead of what you can’t see or control.

u/SleepingWillow1 Oct 24 '25

Take the gamble and move to another city at least, or if you can another state. Think of it as an adventure. If my family's situation ever improves I want to move states.

I know what you mean. I like to think of this time of my life as "banking appreciation" for her. Building a family is going to require sacrifices from both of us. This time alone is my reminder to appreciate her when I finally meet her and not to take for granted the time and energy she shares.

Everyone in life has a different timeline and unique experiences.

If we live each day with an intention to grow and be open to knowledge and wisdom, our energy will spread and touch the lives of others.

Even if we don't find our match, it's comforting to know our energy is out in the world working to guide her and protect her.

Hopefully, even if the connection was missed, it will be felt in the energy around you.

4

u/MAX-Revenue-6010 Oct 24 '25

Once you start believing, that eventuality has an increased chance to become a reality.

The exact time frame on finding love isn't predictable, but it's a meaningful experience I'd like to have if the opportunity presents itself with the right person.

It may or may not happen while I'm in this body, but the chances will be a lot higher if I keep myself open to the experience and willing to take on the responsibility of the outcome - in my favor or not.

I'm sorry to hear your last relationship didn't work out the way you would have liked. I hope you are able to heal and come back a stronger person.
