I'm a 27 year old with a great job, a fantastic family, a lovely home but I feel like there is one thing missing and that is a relationship.
I ended a 4 year relationship last year when I found out my partner was cheating. This knocked me for six and really affected my self esteem. I worked hard to get myself in a good place and started dating someone new in December last year. This person I thought was 'the one' - he was like the male version of me and we made many plans for the future. Out of the blue he ended things as he worked away and couldn't give everything to the relationship, I was heartbroken and didn't believe his excuse but I maintained my dignity and moved on.
As much as I am not looking for a relationship as I am so busy with work, I can't help but feel upset when my friends are getting married and having babies - please don't think I am bitter as I am genuinely so happy for them. But I just feel like there is a part of my life missing. I have always been maternal and I can't wait to have my own family.
Has anyone else felt like this? I need some motivation to get me out of this depressive rut I am in at the moment!
