Ok so from my previous thread where I explained iv split from oh. We have one dc and I have an older dc age 12 from previous relationship. When iv spoken to a certain person about the fact we have split they mentioned that it may be difficult to find another partner as I now have '2 kids from 2 dads'. Is this considered unacceptable or something? Obviously I didn't plan for this and there's a big age gap. Feel a bit down after this now!!

It's just their prejudice so ignore it
Try going online dating when you're ready

Give yourself time to recover emotionally before you start worrying about you next partner OP !
Plenty of women find new relationships after divorce/splitting up. I think whoever told you this piece of misinformation wasn’t being very thoughtful or accurate.

Dear confused

Repeat after me

"Oh do fuck off dear"

My dh used that to a guy on twitter last week, I was so proud, and knew any mumsnetters who saw it would know he's married to one 😱💐

Yeah I'm nowhere near wanting another partner at all but the comment took me by surprise and I too thought it was judgemental

I work in a small school (98 pupils) and among those at least four have mums who have children by more than one father - one mum has four children with four different fathers - and all of them have new partners so it's obviously rubbish to say that no one will want you. In fact these ladies seem to have, as far as I can tell, lovely new partners so ignore people who clearly have no idea what they are talking about and seem to be being deliberately unkind.
