Please give me hope 🥹

[sunflower751]

Getting divorced after 8 years married and 14 years together. I’ve not been with anyone else since I was 19, I’m now nearly 35.

Please please give me some hope that I may still find someone and have a family in the future. I am feeling so sad and depressed.

Married at 19, divorced at 24. Married again at 26, divorced, remarried with a baby in the way at 36. I’m 57 now and happily married still.
if I can find 3 of the buggers to marry me, you’ll have no problem!
seriously, I get that it’s scary after so long together, but there’s plenty of decent men out there (despite what some MN posters would have you think). Just get to know yourself before you get into another relationship. You might be surprised at what you discover!

Together from 17, married at 24, separated at 39. Now seeing a lovely man and living my absolute best life.

@sunflower751 im in a very similar situation but with 2 very young kids. Everyone i have spoken to assures me it can only get better and there is someone better on the other side. Other advise is to join some groups/new hobbies to expand social circle and start to build a new identity separate from the relationship.

All sounds great, but bloody scary!!
