I am a single mum (38) of 3. Divorced 8 years. 7 of those year single. Dated lots over that period. Had some awful experiences. Never ever ever felt a spark. I kinda gave up hope and lost alot of confidence along the way! Then questioned if there is such a thing as a spark. Life as a busy mum took over.....
Met someone this time last year online. There it was 'the spark' ! Completely fancied him. Every date I looked forward to. Just wanted to be in his company all of the time. I couldn't believe that after all this time I felt excited. I wanted to look nice, smell nice. I started to lose weight. Just felt happy. My friend said I was glowing!
Anyway, to cut a long story short.....
He didn't like me back! It ended!
We dated for 4 months. Not long I know but long enough to know I have never felt this way before.
It's been 9 months and I still feel sad. I have put on weight, drink alot of wine and just stopped exercising. Completely lost my mojo over this guy.
Why can't I get over this? It was only 4 months.
I have deleted facebook because I was always looking (he's with someone else) and it made me even worse. I am trying to lose weight again. The thing is I'm sat here dying to go and buy wine because wine kinda softens the sadness/loneliness. I'm trying to stop drinking it because it was becoming a problem. I started to rely on a bottle of wine most nights.
I just need to find my sparkle again!
