Feel like I'll be alone forever

[rachmoon]

Not sure what advice really I need but I just need to get it all out.

Was with my exP on/off for 7yrs... we have 1 DS. We split up for the final time in oct last year.... he has moved in with his new GF and their baby is due this summer... I've done the calculations on her due date he was clearly sleeping with her when he was still with me. But TBH right now I couldn't give a toss. I'm happy to have finally got out of the toxic relationship I had with him. And I know that right now even though I'm single and lonely it's better than being miserable with him.

Thing is I just can't stop thinking is this it?? I feel like I'll never meet anyone else. And even if I did I'd probably be too old to have a happy family life. I feel really bad thinking like this. I know I'm so blessed to have my son.

Op, only a month ago I felt the same way.
From November until May I was adamant I'd never find happiness again....I expected to be alone forever.

It's extremely early days, I'm taking it super super slow (have my son to think about now) yet I've got the butterflies back!

The looking forward to seeing each other & best of all.....we talk! It's only a month of course but we haven't had 1 disagreement (my ex DP caused huge rows within 2 weeks of meeting! Why I didn't walk then I don't know!)

Please give yourself time.....time to heal & be happy with yourself, someone else will come along xx

OP I feel the same way

Except I have 4 DC and no matter how good looking or funny or kind you try to be, no mans going near that baggage.

It's a terrible thing to know. You have a lot more chance than me though. Although it hurts a lot when everyone else seems to have someone

Really early days. Just be really good to yourself and enjoy your freedom.

Take the time to enjoy being on your own and independent.

I'm a single mum and I genuinely now love my own company and don't really want to be full time with someone. I've been seeing a lovely guy for a year. We spend 1 or 2 nights together a week. A trip sometimes and it's perfect.

I feel the same. I feel guilty for wanting something more than my kids. I don't want anything serious or too oppressive but a bit of male company/ attention would be nice

Soopermum that's exactly how I feel!!

I'm 100% enjoying the freedom right now and like a weight is off my shoulders knowing no fights etc when I got home from work. Just sometimes when my son goes to bed the loneliness hits like a brick.

Usernamesleft and Jeaux.... that's wonderful u have met other people. How did u meet them if u don't mind me asking?

I ended up creating a POF account after I posted my original post! I blame the 

Although I don't think it's going to be for me  Its crazy! Plenty of messages.... some good looking guys but they all just say "hey x" and to be honest I haven't a clue what to write back!!!

I think I'd like to just meet someone in RL but with me not socialising much I doubt it.

That was meant to say I blame the wine 🍷 but the emoji didn't show up!
