Anyone not bothered about dating etc and happily single?

[Claire2009]

Or just me?

I'm seriously not fussed at all, I am happy on my own with my 2 Children..

I think perhaps one day I'd like something but never anyone living with/or us living with him. I like my own space waaayy too much

Anyone else the same?

I'm 24 & have been single almost 2yrs.

omg you're only 24 you have every right to feel this way. You are getting to know yourself better and when you do get together with someone you will be in a better position to be a strong and lovely partner and will attract the same.
I on the other hand am 47 and after 17 yr marriage and not being on a date for over 25 years (god I sound old) and not even had sex for 7 years think I have seized up again! How about it ladies, does that happen?
Anyway, my divorce is too recent for me to start dating and I am quite happy to concentrate on dcs and my own little house to do as I please. But like you maybe one day, not bothered now.

meee.
im 27and single mum to two and have got to admit im just loving having fu, no man to answer to or argue with. bringing kids up how want to.
i love doing stuff withmy friends althouh i do now i need to go on a date sometime unless i wanna be on my own forever -now that scares me

And me! But I am much older than you (44) and after 16yrs of marriage am really relishing the space. Bit like mamas12 really.
Do worry about my age though (44) but you have loads of time for dating again when you are ready and willing!

Yeh perhaps but I don't think I want to..

I'm not sure, it all seems a little scary still. My previous r/s was extreme domestic violence & tbh I am just grateful to be alive and out of it with my 2 children

Just when does it get better? When will I feel 'safe' to start anything again if ever?

I was single for about 3 years before dating crossed my mind, it took that long to get my confidence back and rebuild my life and dc's. Ex was aggressive and controlling tho not to extent you describe. So 2 years is no time at all. Do it when and if you're ready! you are a lot younger than me also, but there are nice men out there including for us fortysomethings

Me too, I've been on my own for over a year and it feels like I have finally got room to breathe. I don't mind just muddling along me and mine...

I'm not bothered in the least about dating. I did have a few er dalliances and dated a guy (one night stand led to three months) for a while but I have no intention of having a full on relationship at the moment. I like being on my own and at the moment just want to concentrate on my DS

I am ok on my own, sometimes I get a bit lonely but then I remember that I was at my loneliest when I was married to a shit house...at least being single people think about me and invite me places which is lovely.
I have to say if mr right came along I would not kick him out of bed for eating cream crackers but some friends think I am odd for not just making do with anyone....but its about respect for yourself and not being afraid to be alone...

I've just come out of a 20 year relationship and am happy on my own. I haven't got the time or energy to put into a relationship and the thought of going through a rollercoaster of emotions fills me with dread, maybe in the future sometime, but not now...

I wasn't bothered about meeting anyone else when I separated from exh, but then walked right into Mr Wondeful & it was an oppurtunity I couldn't let pass! Still (after 20 months) not thinking of living together or anything like that yet though - we are happy as we are for now.

Opportunity that should say..am distracted by two squabbling boys!
