Hope for the Hopeless: Vanessa Hudgens Engagement Sparks a Wholesome Reddit Discussion About Moving On from Long-Term Relationships

Many people believe that waiting for your long-term partner to propose is a waste of time, and if you're waiting for a proposal that may never come, you're missing out on the opportunity to build a life with someone who may be wonderful for you.

But it can be devastating to suddenly find yourself single after investing years of your life into a relationship. Some might even say that not getting a ring is a stupid and shallow reason to break up with someone you're otherwise compatible with.

Most of all, though, it's the dreaded prospect of being alone when all you really want is a long-term, stable partnership. And when you finally take the plunge, you may feel lost, alone, and hopeless.

But there is hope!

Yesterday, in a joint Instagram post, Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker announced their engagement after two years of dating. The actress met the major league baseball player during a meditation Zoom in 2021, and immediately knew she wanted to get to know him. Less than a year before meeting Tucker, Hudgens had broken off an eight-year relationship with fellow actor Austin Butler. Many speculated it was because she was fed up on waiting for him to propose.

This wonderful news sparked a fascinating discussion on Reddit subthread r/Waiting_To_Wed. The bottom line is that if you feel your relationship isn't going anywhere and that you and your long-term partner aren't on the same page, moving on doesn't mean giving up. It means you may very well find someone better aligned with your life goals and desires.
