Pity party

[thatstheviewfromhere]

No point to this post really, although if anyone can maybe give me some stories of hope that would be lovely. To the outside world I'm a strong, capable single mother (and I am). I'm 31 and have two DC, 8 and 4 who only have me as a parent. I adore them and people who know me in real life would be shocked to find out I'm currently crying in bed next to my little boy because I feel so lonely. I've not dated in years and dedicate my life to my babies, but I fantatasise about crime documentaries, a Chinese and belly laughs on the sofa on a Friday night. I want to experience nice sex. I want to be someone's number one. I want to know what it's like to be adored by a man. I want someone who can fix things that I can't in my house. I want to not be the one who is the single mum. I want my children to have a positive male role model. I want someone to take them to the park with me and share the nice moments. I want family days out. I want to roll my eyes and pretend to be irritated by someone's shit jokes. I want a good, strong man. I want to carry another child and get to see the father with his newborn. I want a family. We are already a family, but I want a family with a mum and a dad. I want it all, even the bad stuff, because I've never had any of it. 💔

Have a hug 💐💐💐

They sound like lovely things to want and I hope they find you / you find them xx

Awww it's such a shame because what you want isn't particularly unreasonable, just not so easy to find ❤️ you may meet someone at a time you don't expect, and I wish you all the happiness in the world when you do xx

Of course you'll want those things, you're a young woman. I've been where you are and trust me, you shouldn't give up hope. Someone as lovely as you won't be alone forever, believe me.

Thank you everyone for your kindness ❤️

No need to cry. It will come. You sound like a cracking person x

I feel the exact same

Hi @thatstheviewfromhere bless you, your post is so sweet xx
You know exactly what you want which is good, it's only a matter of time and you'll have everything you wrote in your post.
Sending you lots of positive vibes ❤

Thank you everyone ❤️ your kind words have made me feel a lot better and sorry that other people are feeling this way too xx

Sending you hugs

Keep your self open to opportunities and you never know what's around the corner

I hope you find that. Date!

But also remember many couples are very unhappy together!

I was once like you and felt exactly the same way. I got married to a lovely man and went on to have more kids. Your experiences as a single parent make you stronger as both a mother and person in general. Things will fall into place and it will happen when the time is right.

OP, you are so clear in what you want that it will definitely come to you

I'm a single mum too.
I hear you.
I want someone who loves me too.

Thank you so much x
