Hi, I am new here! Seems like a cool place. Recently single and looking for company/other mums to talk to, it might seem silly but it would be nice. I have one son who is 10, and is absolutely amazing ( I know I’m bias 🤣) so if anyone is up to talk let me know :)

I'm not sure? I'm on the mobile app and I can't see anywhere?

ClaireBearMarch · 24/02/2019 20:18

I'm the same, I'm using the app and it's not giving me the option but I think you can on the website .. strange!

How odd!

So how long have you been single for? I came out of a 13 year marriage and was single for two years, was some of the best months of my life, had so much fun when I'd gotten used to being on my own x

ClaireBearMarch · 25/02/2019 20:43

Just recently single. As in three weeks or so. Finding it difficult to get used to the evenings/nights alone, worried my son will get upset and miss my ex(not my sons father) I think it's just a matter of getting used to everything. Change is always difficult .. but your experience is so encouraging and makes me very hopeful! Might I add it sounds like you have done an amazing job dealing with it at the time and like you've come a long way Smile

Aww thank you. :)

It was really hard, I think it's the dependency of being in a relationship that I missed the most. If something happened they'd be the first person I'd want to tell and transitioning from telling them, to not was REALLY hard. Getting into the routine of doing things on my own with the kids was terrifying at first, it soon became really exciting. We had some great adventures on our own. When I was ready to meet someone, I was in the frame of mind that my life was complete and I wasn't especially looking for someone, I had a good social life, great job etc then all of a sudden this perfect man came out of nowhere. He makes me very happy, he adores my kids and they adore him

ClaireBearMarch · 25/02/2019 21:49

Yeah. They seem to be the things that I'm struggling with at the minute too. Although I am very lucky because my mother is an amazing support and help. I'm blessed to have her helping me out. But that sounds amazing, little adventures of your own with the kids etc, sounds amazing. My son has already been kind of excited about having me to himself so hopefully all will be ok. I think it's amazing that you're life felt so complete and you felt amazing in your situation AND THENNNNN someone came into your life. I feel like that makes for a good relationship too.. because it's not because you NEED someone but because you want them. Sounds amazing! Would love to DM you but unsure how I can?

Yeah I don't know how either, I think it might have to be done on the desktop version?

I'll have a look....

Summerb · 26/02/2019 21:28

Yes, just dm'd you through the desktop site xx
