WOMAN TURNING 32 BUT STILL CAN’T FIND A BF, CRIES HERSELF TO SLEEP BECAUSE LONELY

Hurts to see everyone in happy relationships, while I sleep alone every night

I’m turning 32 next week, and just can’t shake this feeling of being utterly alone and unloved.

All my friends and peers around me are in happy, healthy relationships and while I do get often to hang out with them and have fun, coming back home alone every night gets increasingly hard.

Also pretending it doesn’t hurt when they talk about (of course I’m happy for them, but it’s also reminder of my situation).

I’ve never had a proper relationship despite my best efforts (and 3+ years on dating apps on top of that), just some situationships and affairs here and there.

I’ve never been chosen as a partner. I’m a little overweight, and sometimes I think thats the issue but I know that’s not true. There’s plenty of big girls, in happy, healthy relationships.

I just dont know what to do, tired of crying myself to sleep because I’m lonely.

1. I actually notice far more people unhappy in their relationships than happy. Im always hearing of ‘so and so cheated on me’ or some other problem lol. & they may be happy at first but it always ends up not good. I see a lot of wives complaining about their husbands on here, and my stepsister married a guy from the states who ended up being a deadbeat dad. Yeah, relationships are great…
   When i get lonely i just think of all the upset people who thought they had it all for a few month and then the honeymoon fell apart. Be happy your not in one and just pity them lol. It wont last\ be perfect forever..
2. People in relationships do not always tell the whole story of how empty/unloving/cold their situation is, just like how people often keep abuse quiet. It js just pride to want people to see your best side.
   You dont know how alone and unfulfilled they may feel even in their relationships.
   Judging yourself or your life by comparing it against others is kind of a bad idea for this reason. You may find yourself in a few years paired up yet still equally unhappy, if you continue with the comparisons. Other people’s situations usually look better from the outside
