Just wondered if anyone has been or is in a similar situation. ExH and I split up nearly three years ago. He met someone at work and told me the day after boxing day he was leaving - they now live together. It was a massive shock at the time and even to this day, I'm not really sure of the reasons as to why he was so unhappy that he wanted to leave; just put it down to him falling in love with someone else. We have a gorgeous 4 year old son together who lives with me the majority of the time so as you can imagine, it's quite hard to meet anyone new. I had a 7 month on/off relationship which ended in June last year (I wasnt ready if Im honest) and then this year, I had been dating someone for 5 months which was all going well until he met my son and made some comments about how close we seemed and he didnt see there was room for him! So that relationship has gone down the pan too 🙄 I'm lucky to have a good job and social life (when I get free time) but I feel so lonely, sat on my own on the sofa each night and also beginning to feel a bit paranoid there's something wrong with me! I can't face OLD again (right now anyway) and just wondered if anyone else was in the same or similar boat? Also, any fairytale happy ending stories out there? Would love to hear! I'm 49 btw.
