I've been single for around 3 months after a 4.5 year relationship. I was interested in someone but a couple of weeks ago I found out he wasn't, looking back it was too soon anyway.
I am approaching 33, atm I am a bit lonely, but I have complete control over everything. Relationships are hard work, I've had 3 which each lasted a few years and I've been interested in an array of unsuitable, not good enough men.
I'm obviously at a funny age in terms of having children. When with my ex, I really wanted a child and marriage with him but he didn't, it was largely why we split up.
There are days when I'm out and there are badly behaved kids everywhere. It's largely the parents' fault, but for instance I was in a café and the couple were letting their children run all over the place screaming, running around tables where customers were sitting.
Some days like that I am glad to not have children. Some days as I say I'm lonely, yes I had family and friends but it is not a substitute for an intimate relationship.
Other days I could not imagine living with a man ever again. I wish I were younger and didn't feel the pressure. Any advice?
