Newly single with toddler

[Sarbelly]

Hi
I've recently come out of a 9year relationship and at age 35 I'm starting to panic. We have a 3 year old together and I really want another child (my ex doesn't want any more children, which is part of the reason it ended)
I guess I'm looking for advice or positive stories of people meeting someone new while in a similar position?
We are also still living together at the moment, as it's convenient for our work schedules and childcare.

If you are wanting to move on and time is a factor if you want another child, then I would prioritise finding a place of your own. I don’t know many people who would want to get involved with someone still living with their ex.

I have known people meet and have children older than you, and one friend of mine wanted another child and so had her second alone (fathered by a friend who didn’t want a relationship). There are many options, but it might be worth untangling your lives first. Best of luck
