Been dating for 1.5 years as I broke off a long term relationship
I’m ready to meet someone
My ex despite begging after me for half a year, found someone and has moved on
Yet I’ve been on endless dates with one unsuitable man after the next
I was seeing a guy last year - he moved on at record speed as well
I’m so disheartened and I keep putting myself back out there but it’s just a constant stream of disappointment
Time isn’t on my side as my biological clock is ticking very loudly
If I decide to go it alone and have a baby on my own, I know I won’t be able to date for a few years after having the baby
And in all likelihood if I haven’t met someone by now, I won’t if I have a baby/toddler and my age means the dating pool is even smaller
And having a baby completely on your own is exhausting and will be financially harmful
Most people are in marriages by my age
I know many will divorce and many more will be unhappy
I’m not unrealistic
I joined a group of women similar to me - my age, gorgeous, career driven etc and they too have my experiences which helps but I’m still alone and sad
Sure I have friends and hobbies but that doesn’t replace my desire for a loving relationship and family
Sharing for some advice and reassurance that things will work out one way or another
I’m feeling so miserable and lonely
