Anyone have happy post break-up stories to cheer others up?

[ForeverHopeful3]

I left my now ex not too long ago and I am feeling better as the days go by. I am finding new hobbies to make myself happy (dancing and horse riding lessons), and I am hopeful, that as I find myself and my own peace, I will also run into my life partner along the way.

But there are times, like now, where a part of me is also sad and worried that my last relationship was it and that I meant to be alone forever. And there's nothing wrong with that, and if that is the case, I hope that I don't mind it too much because I will be keeping myself busy with the new hobbies I am trying!

However, I am 33F, and although I am fiercely independent and absolutely will not settle for anything less than the love that I deserve, my heart yearns for a family of my own as well, with a man who adores us by my side.

My ex and I were together for the past 3 years, and this break up was the last thing I was expecting after so long together. I left him because he wasn't sure he wanted to marry me... after 3 years, he was 110% okay with me sharing his bed, but the thought of asking me to be his wife was giving him pause... So I left and have been no contact with him for almost a month now.

I am very happy to be out of that toxic relationship, but a part of me is scared that I wasted those 3 years with my loser ex and lost my husband in the process😭

And that is why I am asking for motivational posts! Please guys! Help a gal out!

Honestly, I think you'll be fine. You seem to have decent standards for yourself and you are now free to meet a man who wants a real future with you. And if not, you are more than capable of making your own happiness.
Well done for ending a relationship where your partner wasn't fully 'in'. So many women would have just allowed it to carry on, thus denying themselves the freedom to meet someone new and gradually eroding their own self esteem.

We split in our late fifties. After some rough times (but with some adventures along the way), things are great for both me and my ex. You have a great deal more time than we did, so if we managed it, so can you. Things will be good!

Soooooo many
I left with 4 children, into council emergency accommodation.
I now 10 years later own 4 properties, and live in, dont own a beautiful home.
The only way I could do this was by waiting until the youngest didnt need childcare being brutally honest.
Thats what people mean when they say get your ducks in a row
