At the age of 31, I find myself a single father to 3 kids, with a full time job, and mortgage and a complete waste of space for an ex. I'm sure there's more than a few of you here in the same predicament.
It's been nearly a year, and I feel I've made a lot of progress with my life. I've quit smoking, my bank account has never been healthier, I've gotten into such good shape that first time in my life I can see my abs, my kids are doing better in school amd are generally happier than they were when she was here, and now that she's not telling me I'm not allowed to I finally learned to drive and got a car, and without the stress of living with her I'm doing a lot better in work and got a nice pay rise as a result.
But, II just get lonely now. Especially since she effectively isolated me from my old friends, although I've reconnected with a couple of them and got in touch with my family again (who she also got rid of a while ago). Sometimes I feel like she was right and I'll never find anyone else and move on.
I don't get out much sincei don't want to leave my kids any one else more then is necessary now that it's just me, so I don't exactly get to meet new people very often. I hope I'm wrong, but it also seems that no woman I've met would go near a man of 31 with full custody of 3 kids. Please trek me I'm wrong about that. I've seen threads where it's been said that you wouldn't.
