I'm having a horrendous weekend and could do with some light at the end of the tunnel stories.
Split up with stbxh about 3 months ago. It was going well and still friends etc., although he's in the early days of seeing someone else. It may have overlapped but I'm not bothered.
So, about a month ago I joined an online dating site. Got lots of likes and matches, but most not really doing it for me once I started talking.
One did, and all was looking positive until I ended up falling for the oldest scam - middle aged, lacking confidence, nice person ends up lending someone lots of money over a 2 week period. Like lots of money.
Has to tell ex, he is furious because his finances and DC's future is at stake. Have to go to the police station tomorrow and have the whole, fairly explicit and embarrassing conversations revealed.
Ex is now not only not talking to me, he's talking about whether I am responsible enough to have the kids.
I am frankly at rock bottom. I didn't ever want to have a relationship type of relationship. I've decided that living with someone isn't something I want to do again, but I thought i could date and have some fun. But at the moment, I don't see that ever happening.
Is there life after marriage and 45? Or will I just resign myself to dying alone, eaten by cats???
