I recently split up with my husband of 17 years due to him cheating. Not a good marriage for years, he had form for online sex chat which hurt me but I put up with for sake of family and kids.
I am moving on, have a good career, friends and family and never thought about the gap in my life. My self esteem has been shot so don’t think I am good enough for s relationship or attractive.
I had a kiss with someone on a night out recently which won’t go anywhere (not at same place in life as I am divorced with kids and person young and single with no baggage) and it has made me feel weird - like opened up a whole can worms in my head. Could I be attractive? Will I maybe not be alone for ever? I don’t think this is really about the person I kissed but more about how it made me feel. Still I can’t help thinking about all to distraction. Any advice how to process this situation. I’m not sure if it is a step forward or back or just a side step.
