have name changed as ex dh is on here
am divorced - we split up in 2012. I asked dh to leave. He's a lovely man but a nightmare to live with and we had major issues in our sex life (he was very pushy and had some weird things he liked that he just couldn't get past).
I met new dp in 2013/4. I fancied the pants off him, very much my type physically and we were a great fit. But after around a year, I began to realise that he had a side which I wasn't very comfortable with - inability to say no to his friends (ever), issues with money and lying and gambling. It was very hard to end it with him because ignoring those (major lol) issues, we got on really well but in the end, end it I did.
So here we are 2015. I feel no desperate need for a partner but I am a bit lonely. I don't have a lot of friends and wanted to focus more on making friends but what I have realised is that I have friends, I just don't have that many very close friends and this won't happen overnight.
I have a FT job, dcs and not a lot of spare time. The thought of online dating terrifies me but I have no other way of meeting men (other than through work and I'd rather not!).
So if you took the plunge to get out there again, when did you do it? And did it feel right or was it a bit scary....
