Am a single parent and years on from an EA marriage. Everyone I have dated since has been a disaster really. I've done therapy, taking breaks, building up my self esteem, hobbies, everything. Haven't done OLD or looked especially
I don't feel like I have to have a relationship, but would like one. Last year I ended up in a fairly whirlwind thing where he ghosted me. Too soon after ( a couple of months later) I got into to something else with someone who seemed lovely. I didn't rush it but it wasn't always great as his words and actions didn't match up, looking back on it. He wanted to message daily but not especially to fix up dates. He wouldn't speak on the phone. For me it wasn't a way to build a relationship. But when I saw him it was really great and we got on amazingly. I was worried, however, that despite his words, by his actions he wasn't that into me, and now he's dumped me last week
I feel like I just want to give up totally now. But at the same time it would feel sad to spend the rest of my life on my own. I worry I'm not cut out for relationships or doing something wrong but I don't know what. It's quite depressing. The whole thing is making me feel shit and I just don't know what to do now or where I'm going so wrong
