Hi, Im new to this site but very impressed with the tips and advice I have read so far. I have a little boy of 22 months, and I am so lonely. As I am renting, financing a car and childcare on my own there is no spare cash to have even the odd night out, so I spend most of my time with my parents, who are great. But its catch 22 situation, cant afford to go out, never meet anyone - I think it may have been bad luck that the last 2 relationships I attempted at failed within the first two weeks (never introduced them to my son, but told them straight away about him as im so proud of him) and made me feel that there was something wrong with me.
I sometimes wonder if I will ever find someone, and I feel like the months just slip by without me ever meeting anyone new. Im only 22 so I know ive got a lot of time but still doesnt help how I feel now.
Is there anyone else in a similar situation? My little boy does see his dad once a week, and things are quite friendly for his sake but he left when I was pregnant and I feel a slight bit of resentment for that, but things werent working so it is much better for my son that things have worked out this way, i just feel i have a different side to me that I would love to see again, and im ready for a relationship. I think it makes it worse when the kids are in bed, you spend a few hours each night on your own.
