To be slowly sliding down the path to complete cynicism?

... or does 'happy ever after' exist? 🙄

I'm losing my faith, and this saddens me because part of me is still clutching to the hope that true love does still exist, but after too many failed / broken / wrong relationships, I'm becoming tired... extremely tired 😔

I'm 35, a widow and single mum of 3 - I need hope... love stories, romance, fairytales? 🙄

Are there any out there? 🙄😕

Yes...been married for 8 years now to someone who I met while rehearsing a play. Our off stage relationship soon matched the onstage one. The rest is history. Sounds like mushy nonsense but true. Took a lot to get to where we are now but definitely worth it. Hold on in there! Xx

Yes it does exist ...been with dh since I was 19, am now 52. He retires next year at 58...looking forward to the next stage of our lives together.

There are some good ones still out there. Go on kissing the frogs til you find your next prince.

I dated my DH for 18 months while in my twenties. We split up for all sorts of reasons and I eventually met and married met someone else. That relationship ended in divorce after 12 years. When I was getting divorced, an odd twist of fate brought DH back into my life, we started dating again and eventually moved in together. We married and have now been married for 16 years. I was 48 and DH was in his mid fifties when we married!! We've had our ups and downs, of course, but we're stronger now than we've ever been. Love can and and does happen in spite of it all. Hang on in there OP.
