I recently split with my ex, I feel like there’s no way I could find anyone else ever. Feeling fragile and positive stories out there please xxx anyone gone on to be successful or move on to a fab relationship where people don’t go ltb. I think I just need a handhold and positivity I’m a bit scared of the future.

I split from my ex when I was 17 as I fell pregnant (3 months before I turned 17) and he fucked off as soon as the baby was born. When I was 21/22 I found a new guy who stuck around and accepted me and my then 5 year son. I’m 28 now, we have a 7 month old daughter together. There’s hope hun, you’ll find someone Flowers

My ex husband had an affair with a much younger colleague and left me for her when DD was 3. We were together 10 years and married for 4 of those. I was single for a year and then met my current partner and am blissfully happy, been together nearly 2 and a half years. On the other hand he and the OW didn't last a year after our split and he's been single ever since

I separated from exH when DS1 was 2, he was an alcoholic. I met DH at work and we got together after about 1 year. We've now been together 8 years and have 2 children together.
ExH almost died, got sober, remarried, cheated and has since almost died again (not drink this time) My poor DS1 has been through it

I met my ex (followed him to the other side of the world), within 18 months we were married and I was already pregnant. We split just after DD was 2, my decision because he was cheating and in all round useless dad and husband.

I then returned to the UK, I spent years being a single parent being on my own (was not ready for another relationship). Then I had numerous failed dates, finally got chatting to a guy in the pub and we have been together for 10 years.

We have never lived together because of various complications but we have still been very much in love.

Separated from my ex when my baby was 1. Met my DH almost 2 years ago and knew He was the one for me ... We’re now married with a 6 months baby and so happy 🙈

With kindness, spend time alone. Focus on your baby and yourself.

Why are you seeking positive partnership stories?

LadyBathory · 29/12/2018 21:12

My mum has been single for 5 years after my step dad left her, they were married for 18 years...I’m not saying me and mum won’t find love with someone one day but I just don’t know anyone in a similar situation where it happened.

I have a lot to sort out before I’m even close but the thought of never being loved by another adult seems impossible.
