Hi just wondering if anyone can give me any words of advice in regards to dating as a single mum.
I split up with my child's father 2.5 years ago. His mum massively interfered with our relationship and eventually he just walked away. I never expected to be in this position and I'm still struggling with it to be honest.
Since we separated I have dated 3 men and reflecting it on it they all love bombed me and then went cold / distant wanting to see me very casually and leaving me feeling like I didn't know where I stand then it would just fizzle out or they ghosted me.
I feel like my confidence is on the floor and I know I'm not perfect and maybe I can come on too strong. I don't know.
im just wondering if it will ever get better. I really want to move on with my life and just be happy but it feels impossible. I'm mid 30's and really want another child but only in a committed relationship. This feels unlikely for me now.
I sometimes spend time with child and ex and enjoy it but the thought of us getting back together gives me the anxiety I had when we were together due to the immense pressure from MIL (she is Muslim, I am not) so some cultural differences maybe.
any advice welcome please.
