So, I normally don't like doing this over the forums, but I figured maybe somebody can help me see beyond my own thoughts, from a different perspective?
Lately, as the time grows nearer June 21st, I've grown more and more longing for a partner for life.
I want genuine commitment and love, etc.,etc., and I have read that all beings, animals, babies, etc., require love, plus we can learn so much from love too, (not the xian preached false "love"), so I believe it is naturally for this.
I feel like when I do meet my future partner and after some time of getting to know him (not 1 month or something, much longer), and if everything is truly well, I feel like it'll be my ticket out of this forsaken household, to where I can finally be free and live my life how any SS should - without abuse, without restrictions that harm ones mental/physical/spiritual health, etc.
But I do wonder if I'm obsessing over this...
I would like to add some advice as well. Besides looking for a partner you mentioned you want freedom from your living situation correct? It is always very important to become financially stable to where you can provide for yourself and live alone if you have to, I say this not to discourage you from looking for a partner, but a relationship doesn't mean a ticket out and instant stability.
Let's say you move in with a guy and things are going well, but suddenly things turn in a direction you did not expect, he may not be what you thought he was, you may not like living together and the relationship ends. You don't want to have to move back home or find yourself stuck. Living with someone is great when you are both compatible but you also may find out you just don't really work together and you always should have a back up plan to where you can live or stay if this happens.
Yes we do have the tools and the knowledge here as SS to attract a good partner, and to maintain a healthy relationship. You have many workings available to you to try and prevent anything like that from happening. But even so, life isn't always sunshine and roses and we have to be prepared for literally any situation.
Always have a plan B no matter what. This is how I live my life, I do everything in my power to prevent negativity from happening but I always have a plan B in the event that something doesn't work out how I had hoped it would.
It is also important to remember that the Gods will help with things outside of our power as well, always trust in them and they will help you find the right person in time. Trust their judgement too if they give you signs that a relationship isn't good for you, do not ignore these signs or let emotions cloud your mind.
being in a relationship is a equal exchange of love, maturity, commitment, and also stability is very important. If you can support yourself you will too also be able to support a healthy relationship.
Also don't be too eager. You need time to also find yourself too, you don't want to suddenly jump into a relationship before you have yourself figured out. I speak from experience. Don't be too hasty and let your desire to move away from home override your rationality.
Once you do find a partner, make sure to build a healthy relationship that will last before committing to moving in with them if you decide to do this. Make sure always to ask the Gods for help in this as well. I always speak with them before making any big decisions.
Good luck and may the Gods bless you with a happy and healthy relationship.
Thank you for your advice!!
I don't ever plan to move in with anybody I just meet. I did that when I was young, stupid and inexperienced, but now I know better, lol.
I'm always going to ask the Gods for advice if it's an important decision, especially one like this, there's no mistaking that!
As for finding a place of my own... Since I am not a doctor or a lawyer or a politician, jobs I am capable of doing and can do don't pay enough.
Rent here, let alone living by yourself is expensive. Imagine getting paid 400 a month, but you gotta pay 300-500 (can reach up to 2,000) for rent alone, then you gotta pay up to 300 for electricity, water, gas, etc. All put together + food, which if you were to buy for a 2 week or a month of survival you'd pay close to 70 or even 100 euros.
So add that up and it's outrageous...
I am thinking of studying something, but even after that, I won't get paid what I want, as the job in question only pays from 1,000 to 3,000 (the 3,000 being for owners if not), so you can see that it's not nearly enough.
Getting a roommate over here is not the best idea, especially if you plan on meditating, doing rituals, etc., the apartment walls are so thin, that you'd jeopardise your own safety and possibly worse.
I am not saying all this to be pessimistic or let myself down or "program myself" to think low, no, I am telling you how things are here.
Last year I thought of buying a house to live in, but the prices are enormous and just ridiculous, like the cheapest house I found (that looked decent enough) cost close to 300,000, so you can imagine the kind of money. Even with getting a mortgage loan to pay like let's say 100 a month, you have to also pay for electricity, water, gas, etc., too, which adds close to 200 if not more, plus food to survive upon
It's unrealistic to get my own place on my own. It's just impossible. I'm no lawyer or a doctor or a politician over here, so you can imagine..
The prices skyrocketed over here. Like a carton of milk, for example (to give an idea) used to cost either 1.12 or just 1, but now it costs close to 2 or even 3. It's ridiculous.
