Did you meet someone decent as a single/lone parent? I am feeling broken today

I feel like my romantic life is over. I have one dc aged 1. I’m 38 and would love more children and to have a marriage. I feel like it’s hopeless. I have tried to focus on my career and to look to the future of a nice holiday when dc is a bit bigger and can enjoy it with me etc but it’s not what I truly want. I really would love a marriage and a bigger family. It all feels too late and whilst I don’t consider my dc to be ‘baggage’ I expect they will put a lot of men off. I earn well and want someone who matches that, again I think that’s probably unrealistic now too. I have zero help from my ex so can’t even go on a date unless I booked a day off work.

Yeah, you can. No family who would help? I'd recommend finding a really decent babysitter - day dates are fine but eventually if you met someone you'd want an overnight. Having someone you trust who knows your DC well over time will be a great for paving the way to meeting someone without having them round your kids till you're happy to
