Hello, have name changed for this as I'm a bit embarrassed to be honest and don't want too much info under one name, but:
- have recently had my LTR end There were all sorts of factors leading to this - I wanted to quit teaching and move into something different (but related) and he wasn't at all supportive of this. I think it's fair to say this difference of opinion was our main problem, in the end.
- I have a prolapsed disc. This means my gait is odd, uneven, and to be honest, makes me look a bit stupid. I still have a vague hope this may be temporary.
- because of above I am in a lot of pain most days, I don't get to do the things I once enjoyed.
- I don't have a permanent job which means I feel kind of - rootless. And sometimes very lonely.
I have some lovely friends but they are a bit spread out and BUSY obviously I don't want to add to someone's stress by insisting they see me! They have babies and toddlers. I love my friends children but it makes me want my own so much.
I also really don't want to be a step mum: sorry if it makes me sound awful but am just trying to be honest.
So - AIBU to think meeting someone at my age (mid 30s) will be almost impossible? And encouraging stories would help.
This must be the only post where I actually want to be told I definitely am being unreasonable :)
