yes pretty happy not dating or having a partner at the moment.
Life's very full. Like a bit of sex here and there - not with random strangers though.
But otherwise fine.
I work full time M-F, my weekends are largely spent taking dcs to sports activities.
I do go out and socialise when I can and can't really keep up with friends as it is.
I do have some good male and female friends I can lean on every now and then.
No family close by.
I am on two dating sites but largely receive email from munters or rather
Did date someone for about six months last year but he turned out to be rather strange and didn't show much interest in meeting dcs so the relationship couldn't move forward.
Had the dcs not liked him he would have been dropped like a stone.
Also I know some people disagree with that point of view (reading on another thread) and that if you make a choice your dcs just should lump it - it's nothing to do with them
but in my own case I feel that my dcs have been through enough with the split, divorce and their dad meeing new partner and having dts (all within two years) I would not inflict a 'stranger' on them. And I haven't really got the energy to work at blending a family and possibly trying to mediate between my hormonal teenager, my younger son wwho is very close to me and a new bf.
have seen friends in that situation and it's nnot an easy situation.
Of course I have needs etc but imo my children's needs are more. If an exceptional man comes along so be it and i will eat my words but in the meantime I am happy with the way things are.
