...when all you yearn for is a stable relationship.
I have been separated permanently from XH for over 6 years. I have had a few failed relationships inbetween, but have been effectively single for a year now (my choice to end the relationship-which I do not regret).
Every time I see a family with both parents, a mother with a baby, a couple in love, I feel such a sence of loss, it is a physical pain. I so want to be in a loving happy relationship with a future. I want the nice house with a husband, a baby, a people carrier, a holiday every year. But it never works out for me that way.
So I want to know this; as I am obviously destined to be alone, how can I make myself happy to be single?
Please don't trot out that old line about "one day it will happen" bla bla bla. I can't stand it. Some people never find the right person. I am afraid I am one of those. I am 18 stone and a size 24, and a lone parent, and poor. I know the odds are against me.
I just want to know how to live with it and be happy.
