Need positive stories

I've had a pretty rough time of it the last few months, started divorce proceedings and I'm only 30 with 3 kids.

What I really want to hear is stories from people in similar situations that are positive, stories to make me believe that my romantic life isnt done now and that's me on the shelf forever.

I honestly believed my STBXH was my soul mate.

I guarantee you are not 'on the shelf' at 30. I'm 37 and divorced as are 3 of my close girlfriends and all of us are happy with new partners. One of whom has just announced her engagement to a great guy and her daughters are thrilled.

I get how you feel, it's scary and confusing but you'll get there, just don't rush into anything.

Thank you, I'm definitely not rushing into anything, enjoying being just me and my kids just now.

I just love hearing positive stories makes me feel better knowing that one day I will meet someone again, hopefully haha.

You most certainly are not on the shelf 😘 you are IN YOUR PRIME darling 👍 💯.

I am currently going through a divorce myself and I am in my 40 s. my own experience is there are literally hundreds +++ men out there keen to meet someone just like you.

I met a man in real life quite by chance as it happens. If i can, you certainly can 😊😊❤️💕. Best wishes

I am 42 and split from my 16 year relationship a year ago (2DC). I met someone 5 months ago and am very happy. At 30 you are still really young so you have nothing to worry about.

I’m in the same boat. Married for 7 years together for 12. Been split since April.

I’m only 30 and have 2 children.

No advice but I feel exactly the same as you

My best friend was cheated on by her hubby, they had a two year old together when she found out about the affair, three years on shes got a new house, a baby and engaged to someone who's incredible! I hated her ex anyway, so well happy (ish....) that he's gone! My friend is 33.
Good luck!!
