Ahhhh... @maras2
It can work out.
What a lovely short story!

UnimaginativeUsername · 31/10/2018 11:14

Mine is a more messy story. And definitely less heartwarming.

Met DS1’s father through mutual friends at 15. Had DS1 (unexpectedly) at 19. We decided to be friends and co-parents rather than anything else (and that’s worked brilliantly for the last 18 years).

Met DS2’s father at 26 while we were both away with work. Had DS2 at 28. Never married. Split up at 37. Should have split up at 28 frankly because he’s a shit.

I’m not having any more kids, although (at 38) I do currently have a boyfriend I think I could probably marry and spend the rest of my life with. I met him on tinder, of all places. But you never know, so no one should hold their breath.
