stupid thing to worry about.... but do you ever worry that your going to be left on the shelf???

[charlotte121]

I have all these stupid worries that no guy is ever going to want to be with me ever again. Im about to have my second baby and im on my own and feel quite lonely. I dont want this to last forever, i just want to settle down with someone who will love me and my beautiful kids. Is it too much to ask for another guy to want to settle down with a young single mum and her kids or do guys just consider people in my situation to be chavs or slappers with too much baggage? How have you done in relationships with people who arnt your kids dad?
seems like such a daunting thing, but im sure some of you ladies out there have some experiance

No thanks!!

Oh shucks . Thought you might be missing the silence (not). Hope your DD gets better soon though.

She's well enough to complain.

"no mummy..im just too poorly to eat anything but cheese and sausage" {swoon} etc etc.

Oh that's the best isn't it. I got at the weekend "mummyyyyy my tummy hurts" then in the same breath "can I have some more chocolate please" lol

Yes chocolate is the miracle that most gps dont seem to have picked up on yet. Funny that.

. I know. Maybe we should bottle it and become millionaires. The medicine that all children will take.

"Cadbury's antibiotics" has a ring to it I think?

Oh I must get to bed, I have work in the morning if dd is well and and shouty enough.

i can't actually let go of ex... i don't want to be with him again after 7 years but we have slept together after 2yrs of sperated sadness/anger. neither of us have had other flings/relationships and seem both unwilling to go there but i can't carry on like this, it get a bit tedious the whole dating scenario, finding the right one! i guess i'm not ready but i miss male company, i'm 39 and feel it's harder to find a decent man, i suppose the internet..

I've had 3 bfs since I split from dd's father and one was met through friends, one was through work and the last and most serious, relationship was through the internet. Just like anyone without children would do.

I don't worry about it, I accept that I may be. When I first became a LP I expected that I would meet someone, but I didn't and actually I have worked very hard to build up a happy, secure family unit. Any man coming into it would have to be extremely special and I am doubtful that such a person exists. If he does and I meander across him at some stage, great; if he doesn't, I'm happy and contented with my life; I don't need a man to make me feel whole and worthwhile and I think it's terribly sad that so many women still feel panicked at the thought of life without a man in it.
