Positive stories? Feeling sad and lonely today

So I have a couple of previous threads about why my relationship ended, but basically I ended my 7 year relationship last July (I'm now 28). No cheating, no abuse, just we weren't working anymore and our sex life had gone to shit :(

We've been living together since which hasn't helped, but I'm in he process of buying my own place. Does anyone have any positive stories of meeting someone new after a breakup at a similar age? I'd love to have kids etc. one day!

I became single at 28, it nearly broke, I was pretty miserable for a long time. I was 30 before I got into a new relationship, it was such a terrible relationship, so toxic but I stuck at it because I felt like I'd never meet any one or have kids at my age. Which I can't believe.

Then a wonderful set of circumstances set me on a path with an amazing guy and one day I never went home again after he made a proposition to me and I didn't want to cheat.

I was 33, we have since had a child and got married and we are wildly in love like I could have only dreamed of. It will get better.

My wife and I both left long relationships (5-10 years) around the age of 30, met each other at 32 and have been together 12 years now and have 2 kids. You're still very young really!

You are so, so young! How can you possibly be worried at your age!

I ended a 10 year relationship when I was 26 and was single until I met my husband 6 weeks before my 29th Birthday. We have been together 17 years and he has helped me bring up my oldest 2 children and we have another 3 of our own. We met by chance on a night out in a town we were both visiting.
