Finding love again after divorce

[Legallybleachblonde]

On my own tonight and feeling a bit sorry for myself! Anyone have some uplifting stories of finding love again after divorce? I'm 49 and my exH and I split up three years' ago. I have a DS5 and I work school hours so I just can't see I'm ever going to meet someone - most of the time I'm knackered! And I've given up with OLD for various reasons. Can anyone give me a glimmer of hope? :-)

Do you have any hobbies you are able to pursue?

You are obviously tried from everyday life situations which is understandable.

You will find love again when the time is right.

No hobbies as such - the free time I get is usually spent with family and friends catching up/nights in/nights out. I suppose I'm hoping for someone to just come along rather than meeting online - that's not really worked out for me.

you're not alone OP. 43 here, lived on own with son 11 years now. A few relationships since divorce. Also feeling a bit sorry for myself tonight!

If you want a relationship you need to go out and find it, which is not the same as saying you need to be looking all the time.

Try for a while, forget about it for a few months and then go back to it when you feel you are ready to try again.

But whatever you do, remember that what you are going through at the moment is NOT permanent. 💐

Of course there is hope for you! My mum was married to my dad 27 years, divorced him and was so adamant she would be on her own for the rest of her life but then she met a wonderful man at 51 and married him at 53 and she’s never been happier. There’s hope for everyone, don’t give up! X
