Need Sex Life

I should have one but I don’t. For years now I haven’t been having sex because I have no opportunity. I have one friend who is extremely busy and I don’t have family nearby and child is always home.

Our house is old, thin walls, thin ceilings and the bedrooms are also bang next to each other sharing a thin wall. House is carpeted with rugs and soft furnishing in an attempt to absorb sounds but no...the older she gets (almost 12) the more life she has, talking online with mates, I hear everything, if she belches I can hear, if she tik toks I can hear each footstep and body throw.
The more she becomes an actual big person the more I realise I cannot live in this house like this with ZERO audio privacy.

But I rent, my rent is cheaper (below market value) because I know the Landlord so I’m extremely bloody lucky to have this thin home(been 9yrs) I don’t have a good job, paid pittance, I’ll never be able to buy. I feel hopeless and get agitated because I’m literally peaking and feel like I’m in a cage when I really want to date, talk to prospective dates and have a blooming SEX life.

I also hate there are people who are homeless and I’m writing this post. Problems are subjective. I’m scared that I will need to sit on my hands till she moves out or tell dates that sorry we can only talk about the weather!

You may get a date with a nice home of his own and thick walls.
Does your dd never go to her father or gps?

Once you're dating I'm sure these issues will resolve themselves.

No father in the picture. Grandparents live in another city and other in another country but obviously now it’s not good to mix.

Ideally my date would have a home with thick walls Wink and we move in haha

I’m considering moving into living room so then we at least have a floor between us but she hates the idea and says it will feel weird and distant.
I am constantly looking for a full time job with potential and prospects but it seems impossible especially as I am not skilled in any particular field!

In normal times does she have sleepovers with friends? You can have a sex life at other people's houses! Or at yours when she's staying somewhere else.
It won't be many years before you can leave her at home in the evening on her own for a few hours.
