Feel so alone

[NotAProperGrownUp]

Ex-h left me six months ago after revealing his year long affair with a colleague. I struggled a lot initially but am getting my head together gradually. I have two dds who are adjusting well on the face of it and are wonderful. I just feel so lonely sometimes, hate not having a person to love and be loved by. I’m moving into my new house next week and have lots of great work and even social opportunities, but it all feels so hollow. I’m fine on the face of it, but it’s so miserable.
Is there even such a thing as a man who wants a slightly overweight cast-off with two children?

You’ve had a kind of bereavement NAPGU. It’s a massive shock to get over. Give yourself time to grieve and cry for what was lost.

Then re-invent yourself with the strength you’ve gained from having to cope and support your DDs. You will never be the same woman; you will be stronger and more knowledgeable. You go girl! 💐

Aw OP I feel your pain. I'm in a similar situation but my ex went a few years ago. I've dated a few men, had some wonderful times but sadly nothing long term.

I'd suggest trying some dating apps, I like Bumble. You can start meeting people and hopefully find someone special.

Often I feel really sad and lonely not to love/be loved. I haven't found any problems due to being middle aged single working mum bit overweight, there seem to be plenty of equivalent men out there.
