I’m a single mum to a one year old, in the midst of divorce. I hate my ex and he was horrible to me for a couple of years, we had no sex life (him rejecting me) and anytime he was in the house he sat on his computer and only came downstairs when his meals were ready. I accept that I should have kicked him out sooner but hey, I only tried for the sake of our baby (“my baby” as he often told me when I asked for help). Don’t get me wrong I am a different person without him around, I would rather be single and unhappy than with him. My daughter is my whole world and I love her so much. I just wish I knew what it was like to have a happy relationship, wake up with someone, watch tv, laugh with. I never had that with my ex looking back. I know I won’t meet someone because I am a single parent to a baby and COVID does not help matters. I just feel so alone these days, even though I have a good circle of friends. I guess I just realise now I was living such a lonely life with my ex all three years. Feel so sad and unhappy
