I'm just so lonely

Hi,

Name changed for this. I'm a single mum, H left when DD was 5 weeks old. We live with my parents.

I am so lonely a lot of the time. I see family and people at work, but I so wish that somebody special would come along. I feel like no man is ever going to be interested now I have a child, and I never meet anybody new. I have tried evening classes and online dating, but nothing has worked yet.

My NCT friends are all starting to have their second babies, and I am so envious. I would do absolutely anything to have a loving husband and be expecting a second child.

I know that I should count my blessings, I have a wonderful healthy DD. I would just so appreciate some words of wisdom from anybody who is/has been in my situation.

Thank you for the reply. Single parent friends would be a good idea. Perhaps I need to make more of an effort to go to toddler groups and things? It's so easy to slip into a routine, but I don't think that is helping me. Thanks Smile

I know lots of single mums who have met new partners, why do you think no one will be interested again?
