That's all really. A tiny bit unlovable. Alone.

I've just started a thread here too. Fearing that i might be about to become single and I'm so confused about whether it would be positive or not.
I'm so sorry you feel like this and please know that you're not unloveable
Sending Hugs

@DocusDiplo
Have you been single long ?

It sucks OP I hear you. Today I have been questioning myself and wondering how on earth people seem to get past the first stages as I just can't seem to get there. I tell myself I will be ok and I will, but I feel alone and sad.

I’ve felt a bit like that too today, OP. I hope that ‘this too shall pass’ as they say, and that there are lots of good things in your life. Flowers

I have been single for six years after being ripped in to pieces by my exh of 16 years. It has taken me time and Inhave seem many friends rush in to relationships with men that 'will do'.
I am happy and content and extremely bloody proud of myself for being where I am today. I put DS first and he is a (reasonably) happy 16 year old now.
Sometimes I get lonely but I have built a lot of friendships and esteem that I never had when married.
My advice would be to get to a point where you enjoy your own company and feel secure - that may be a year or it may be more.
I am less lonely than I was in a relationship

I feel asleep last night... Alone !

Its comforting to know there are other amazing women around who are still single. It s definitely them, not us!

I am generally happy alone but I would still rather have a companion and feel that pang occasionally.

I have dated a fair amount since I split with my husband 3 years ago.

I genuinely feel like the pool of decent, intelligent men is not big enough here. It sounds like a rotten thing to say but I honestly think that is the case. But I'm not about to move my kids and home for a better tinder experience Wink

Aw @Mermaidwaves I think it's just a matter of time and luck isn't it?!

Flowers for all Smile
