单集简介 ...

In this episode, I talk about my challenges finding stable friendship and love in London as a single in my 30s. I argue that technology has encouraged ghosting and 'no contact' culture, and because of this it's harder to form stable relationships and integrate into local communities. However, it's not all doom and gloom! I also talk about finding comfort in spending time with myself - taking myself out on dates - and focussing on slow, simple things like darning my socks. The book I discuss in the episode is Conflict is Not Abuse by Sarah Schulman. Get the transcript for this episode by joining Easy Stories in English Premium! Your support is appreciated!

  • So the title of this episode love and friendship in your thirties I don't know.

  • I feel like this is a topic that a lot of people talk about.

  • It's maybe a bit of a.

  • A phrase, a topic that comes up a lot.

  • It makes me think of romantic comedies, those silly films about falling in love.

  • But honestly, I recently turned 30 and I recently moved to London.

  • And in the process of moving to London, I ended a long term relationship, a relationship that lasted almost three years.

  • And I also ended a short term relationship, a relationship that lasted a few months.

  • So suddenly I am single again and living in London in my thirties.

  • So this topic has felt very relevant to me.

  • I didn't realize how used I was to living with a partner.

  • I didn't realize how normal it was for me to live with a partner and and all the things that come with that.

  • It's a very different way of living.
