Sorry, posted so much yesterday. I don't have close friends and this site helped me so so much when I went through a divorce. I'm having a blip and it feels like company.
Would love to read some happy stories of people who are happy single and I mean truly happy. I believe you do not need someone to complete you, you do that yourself. I just feel lonely sometimes. Don't have childcare so my social life is pants. Don't have many friends. Actually don't have any only the ones I work with and my Facebook friends which aren't really friends. Also what sort of things you do to make you happy and content being single.
I need a kick up the bum to be honest. Don't really want to be feeling sorry for myself.

Thankyou all so so much. Been reading with a cuppa this morning and I feel better.
It's lovely to read that all are happy /happier. You are all doing amazing.
Definitely got me thinking about meetup. Definitely agree with feeling more at ease with yourself at this age.
My childcare won't really change until they're older when I can leave them I guess. It's difficult, I know. My mum has babysat on occasions but I don't ask but that's a whole new story.
I do believe you have to go through the 'finding me' stage but I feel I have done that. I also have has to build a new life emotionally and financially and can finally see the light. I guess I have always thought along the way I would meet friends/someone. It was the summer last year I started to feel more and more lonely, when everyone was out enjoying the sunshine having bbq's. So not sure if it's the thought of the summer approaching.
I'm definitely going to join the gym. Life is busy but I do feel I need more adult company.
I am also starting to think I am going to be single forever but is it such a bad thing? I guess the more I started to realise the more I thought about it and posted here. It's nice to read that it's possible not to be lonely.

My past relationship was EA, I moved 200 miles away from family and friends to try to make it work but it just got worse - constantly walking on egg shells, daily comments about my weight/not being attractive enough. I was utterly miserable, isolated and sick of my life to be honest.
He ended up cheating on me and leaving, which was in hindsight the best thing to happen to me as I was so afraid of being a single mum, in a city with no friends or family, that I was clinging on to a comfort which was actually destructive.

I went to uni and now Iam in my final year of my degree for the job of my dreams. I've made friends through volunteering and uni. I co-parent with the ex so I do get alternate weekends free..which Iam not gonna lie - are full of dates. My confidence has gone through the roof since he left. I've gone from being told how fat I am every day to having 2 passionate super fit fwb guys on the go - who worship my body, curves and all. Iam being kind to myself, faking it til I make it, showing my son that self-love is a necessity. It's tough at times juggling it all with uni, work, with no family in this city but I've come this far and believe that I can do it. You can too OP!!

Aw well done blue. It must of been scary in a new town. Thankyou 😊

I'm a happy single mum

Love not living with someone who is cross/ doesn't love me

Love focusing on and really enjoying my kids

Love the freedom

Best of luck
