Anyone else happy being single?

[Mumanddadtoone]

Hi, I'm a single mum to a 5 year old boy with non verbal autism. I split with my sons father just over 2 years ago (we were together almost 20 years). Ds no longer has contact with his father due to his fathers lifestyle choices (drugs/alcohol dependency).

Most of my friends (all in relationships) think I'm weird because I don't want another partner. I love it being just my son and me, don't get me wrong it can be bloody hard work especially with his special needs but I definitely don't want a relationship. Does anyone else feel this way or am I weird?

I'm happy on my own as well

I have three DC to my ex- partner, we split about 10 years ago.

Since then I have had some short lived romances (no longer than 3 months at the most).

I have just recently bumped into a guy I found attractive (he crashed into my car), and so am having a ponder again about relationships. I really can't be bothered with all the malarkey, but at the same time I would like to get carried away in a whirlwind romance again - just for the thrill. Somehow when I give him the £600 bill for car repairs, I don't think he'll see me in such a positive light...

Every time I do get involved in something though, I regret it after...it's just too much stress. Plus the kids are older now and would work out exactly what I was up to, which puts me off as well

I'm 5 years single, my youngest daughter (9) is high functioning ASD/ADHD/Sensory/PDA (she's still being assessed so we don't really know!) and my eldest is 12. I love it. I can't ever imagine being in another relationship ever again.

I might not mind once ds leaves home but that won't be for another 7 years lol. The house will certainly feel empty and quiet by then so I may well start hankering for some male disruption .....

Can't be bothered for now anyway I have no available spare time as I am always with ds or working but I really do not feel I am missing out whatsoever!
