I’ve posted here a few times about my abusive ex.

He has introduced my children to the second girlfriend of the year recently and I’ve not had so much a whiff of a man since the day we separated.

Just ranting I guess, felt like I was turning a corner and feeling more positive about the future but now sat here thinking why am I alone and he is not?

Because you are obviously a sensible adult and realise this shouldn't be the way to go. You focus on your kids and enjoying your time alone healing from your past relationship until you are ready. You can't control what the other person does. Only how you model yourself for your children. They can decide later in life how they feel. Keep your head held high

Thanks @jamsponge40 I’m trying as hard as I can!

I’ve actually tried OLD and do feel ready but men just don’t seem interested. Not once got to the stage of meeting someone in real life.

I’m annoyed with myself tonight. Even find myself thinking about if I should have left him the first place. Madness !

Introducing 2 women to the kids in a year isn't something to be envious of.

He may not be on his own, but he's not exactly picky or showing good judgement, is he?

@category12 absolutely ! Woman number 1, I told him it was wrong to introduce unless he was serious about her. He said he was. 2 months later and they were separated. Now 4 months later, woman number 2 has been introduced. If I say anything I either get abuse or ignored.
