Just that really, what if I have lost my looks?

I was so pretty in my 20’s and early thirties and I feel so rubbish that my ex had all my best years and now I might end up single forever. Am I just having a bad day?

Be single.

Love it.

Enjoy your freedom.

Relish everything that you can do. Without a second thought.

Run wild.

Hoping it goes well!

It was fabulous, thank you and someone about the OP’s age stopped me in the street to say she liked my dress (which was nothing showy). I look my age, which is fine with me.

This is what is making me think I might be depressed.

You haven't lost your looks it'll be because you feel vulnerable and suddenly becoming single.Im sure you look great.

This thread is so alien to me. Who has made you feel like this OP!? Did your ex fill your head with these negative thoughts?
I feel better than I ever have at 44.
Men do not age in a better way than us. Anyone who looks after themselves can look good.

You've got a good 10 years before you really start to lose your looks 💐

Oh for goodness sakes!

Will it pass? I was fine a few months ago, I just feel a bit lost and depressed

I know, what a ridiculous comment

Groolish · 23/06/2025 11:43

Also, part of me thinks I still love my ex as I am still absolutely devastated that he is with somebody else a year later
