Lonely

[ChewyNugget]

That's it really.

I think it's this unbearable time of year that makes the lonely pangs that little bit harder to take.

Have a beautiful 6 month old. Been single since the beginning and I fear I'll be single for the rest of my life. It can get really really lonely. Especially when I'm constantly being reminded on social media how happy all these couples are around me.

I turn 29 in March and I suppose I expected to be settled down, or at least on the way there.

The only person who texts me is Dominos

I used to feel the way you do.

I'm now with someone & il be honest, sometimes I wish I was on my own.

I thought it was hard doing it alone but lord knows it's harder having a partner

You should be extremely proud of yourself bringing up your baby as a single parent. I'm sure you are doing an amazing job. People put things on social media to pretend that their life perfect when really it's not, so ignore that it's fake but what is real is you have a lovely 6 month old baby. It's a lonely time with or without a partner tbh. Have you got any friends you can go out with to meet people ?

I can totally understand that actually.

Being a mum is hard enough without keeping a relationship alive also.

There's no way I could even date even if I did meet someone. Too exhausted and too busy with baby.

Think I just need a bit of attention then I'll be over the whole concept again haha

Thank you! Believe me I am proud.

It's been the best part of my life so far undoubtedly and I am madly in love with my daughter. I've always been a fiercely confident and independent person - I realise now how vaguely pathetic my OP made me sound...

I think it's more the idea of it. Even a superficial love interest to just ease the lack of attention I'm getting at the moment. You know? Days and days of mum buns and smelling of baby sick makes you seriously wonder if you'll ever be desirable to someone again lol
