How has nomading affected your ability to have long-term and especially committed relationships?

Long-story short: got back with my ex after a 3-year hiatus in which I visited 15+ countries and had countless of romantic encounters.

Now, every time we have an argument or when things get hard, my mind starts to drift away, thinking I should just pack things up, get a ticket to Mexico/Thailand/etc, and seek those hookups again.

I do wonder, having taken the red pill, whether I’ll ever be able to stay in a committed relationship?

How have you guys dealt with this (esp if you’re male)?

I’m glad someone said this

The beauty of a beneficial long-term relationship only comes with work. There are no short cuts.

OP is living in a fantasy

I dk whether this story will have any impact or not, but last year I went on a group trip with highly, highly successful people (500m+)

every. single. one of them was married , and was still married to their partner. They built that success with their partner over decades, and they all had very healthy, loving dynamics.

It was really eye-opening to see how much a solid partnership can boost your life and your enjoyment of it

I think it’s well worth the work
