To be ungrateful despite being privileged

[neveraskingtime]

I have many things to be grateful for.

A 25 inch waist
£80k salary at my dream job
A negligible mortgage
My youth

What I don't have:

A hug every night from my dead boyfriend

When we were together we were poor, both on minimum wage and I was paying 7% interest on my mortgage. Plus, I was heavy, but we were so infectiously happy and buzzing with love.

None of these things matter without him.

I would trade all these things for him back

My efforts to replace him over the last few years have failed. You would think a pleasant-looking young woman would have an easy time but these dating apps are absolute fucking carnage, they're all perverts

Not really looking for practical advice just offering my perspective to partnered MNetters who have a hard time financially: grass ain't always greener.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

As you have youth on your side, hopefully there is lots of time for you to meet someone lovely.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I can sort of understand, I lost my Dad before he got to see me succeed and it plays on my mind a lot, one because although he was already proud, I'd like to think I've made him even prouder, two because I'd like to have treated him more, taken him on more holidays etc, but mainly because I'd swap everything that I own/possess to have him back.

Real.

Very sorry OP that he died. And you're right, nothing really matters apart from the people you love.

Is this AI?

I reckon so - it was the "25 inch waist" that got me 😆

Reads like the synopsis for a bad book.

Who would put 25inch waist first? Is that you, chatgtp?

Stealth brag with a twist.

Novel!

The punctuation is interesting as is the word “infectiously”

I am confused by the possible timeline: from being overweight, on minimum wage and hefty mortgage rate to very slender waistline, perfect,very well paid job and minimal mortgage, all whilst still being young (no indication of the age that refers to). That's what made me think AI.
If it's true the OP has lost the love of their life, I am sorry, but it does read like the plot of a film (though in the film the OP would find love with someone who was always around but unnoticed).

Is any part of this real?

Isn’t OP making the point that she lost weight following the loss of her partner and , so she should be happy/“a catch” by society’s standards

I’m so sorry for your loss 💐

I read something about how the only thing that matters at the end of the day is your health or the health of loved ones.

Literally nothing else matters.

For too many people they only realise that once it’s too late.
We should all appreciate that we and our loved ones are here.

OP is trying to explain that when she used to be in a worse shape - physically, financially etc she was happier than she is now.

By society’s standards she should be happy but she’s not because her partner has died.

Basically the only thing that matters is the ones you love.

Yes AI

Poverty is infectiously blissful when you're buzzing about your 23-inch waist

You have lost your love, and it would surprising if being slim and rich compensated you for that. That's not how life works. I hope you find another partner in time.

Looks like it but I replied seriously because if it is real, OP deserves a serious answer. But she hasn't been back, so...

What a peculiar post 😂😂

Do people actually know off the top of their head what their waist size is? Maybe if you're a fashion model? And the number brought them joy?
Anyway OP I am sorry for your loss. I too live a privileged life but it would mean nothing without my loved ones x
