hi have left my husband of 4 years (together 13 years) in May after his second affair in 2 years, the second one when our gorgeous boy was only 3 months old. no one can ever accuse me of not trying as i tried really hard to make our relationship work for the last 2 years since the first one, but i can't forgive another one - turns out i have made the right descision as he has now confessed to 6 affairs/ one night stands in total so i am well rid
however...
i never wanted to be in this position - i just dont know what to do with myself.
have moved back home to stay with my parents for emotional support, so i am 300 miles away from my friends and my job. not working at the mo as my baby is 7 months old and still breastfeeding so cant get out and get some independance / meet people there.
i'm getting out there and trying to make friends at baby clubs, but everyone else is happily paired off and no-one is avaliable to go out because they are happy at home in the evening with their babies and other halves (as i would want to be doing now if my situation hadnt changed.)
im 30, a single mum - living on benefits when my maternity pay runs out next month - where the hell do i start?
i want to meet people and make friends, i want to meet a new man, i want to view this as the opportunity to finally be happy with someone who deserves me and make a new life and a new start, but i just feel so depressed and sad - i can't believe this has happened to me and i dont know where to begin
please help - i'm desperate.
