Depressed and worried I’ll be alone forever

[mummymia2022]

I’m nearly 30 and currently 18 weeks pregnant and for nearly 2 weeks I’ve been crying every day or multiple times a day thinking of how I’m going to be forever without a partner. The baby’s father it turns out (whom I still have v strong feelings for) never even wanted a relationship with me and used me for sex. I am aware when I have baby I may not have any time to meet a man until baby is a teenager, which will be when I’m in my 40s. Has anyone else been in the same position as me? Although I’m overjoyed at having a baby who ill love and cherish forever, I’m also so depressed that I won’t have a partner/companion throughout my 30s when I’m supposed to be in the prime of my life.

Many of you probably think I’m being utterly pathetic. But I can’t help how I feel.

Yeh, I broke up with my ex at 28, I’m 33 now and still single, nothing at all in that time but I have 4 children and my ex isn’t involved at all so I’m not able to date, is your ex going to be involved? Do you have family support? Many single mums manage to meet someone when they have a child so you won’t have to wait till their a teen. All depends on your support network though.

Loads of people who are single parents go on to have further relationships so there is no reason you won't be the same, though I know it might not feel like that now
