Grieving old life can anyone relate

[Babypiggy]

Hiya- posted before. 7year old ds , exh thats moved on fast and had a baby with new partner. I love being a mom, i have just turned 35 and now feel like i probably wont ever be a new mom again. Have tried OLD and hated it- made me feel shit about myself. Just wonder if anyone else has been in tbis situ? I feel like il be alone forever tbh espec with the pandemic...

You won't be alone forever.
OLD isn't for everyone.
Live your life the best you can in the here and now.

I do try i just feel v sad alot. I wish i was still in a familu unit and expecting another baby. Im a good mom and wonder what will happen. My son is growing up so quickly

What's your financial situation? Would you consider a donor for conceiving? If it is a baby you feel you will miss out on then perhaps that is the answer and love with another person will come in time and you wont need to have a time limit on it.

My financial situ is fine buy i dont want to just go solo with it all. I wanted a family, a team etc

Why not consider adoption OP?
I appreciate it's not the same as birthing and bringing up your own children, however there are thousands of children out there that need somebody exactly like you.
You have a gift, use it 😊

If not, please don't rush into finding somebody just to have the family. You may end up vulnerable.

Thanks Tiny....again id love to be on a team again thats what i miss

You can't hurry love.

Tbh it worries me to hear you talk. Be happy with YOUR life for now and hope someone comes along, but they may not. For gods don't saddle yourself with four kids and no man.

@something2say i dont know why you would say that? Four kids and no man? Ive said a few times i dont want to go it alone. I think your response was flippant and unhelpful

Hi. I completely understand what you mean - I'm only a year older than you so get that aspect too. How long have you been separated from your ex? How long were you together?
My ex and I split in January after 16 years together. I have 2 children so don't have that desire to have any more, although part of me now does wonder what it would be like to have children with someone supportive and not selfish!
As for OLD I honestly don't think it will ever be for me. I connect with people through getting to know them and sharing hobbies or a sense of humour, not through swiping on a photo. Do you work? Can you socialise through work at all? What about gym/clubs? might be worth considering alternative ways of meeting people. What about friends of friends? X
