tomcat1968: Big Hug no where your coming from i am in the same siuation in my early fortys what kind of women would want me with two kids in toww makes me scared and confused fro the future
Well, if it makes you feel better, just remember you are ten years younger than me, so it could be worse!
Seriously, though , I am over that now, I dont feel as pessimistic as I did when started this thread. If you want to chat, you know what to do

Sailfree: Hi never too old me 52 and 5yrs alone now! I do not class myself as past it.
Bringing up children no experience of that, but they do go to school, they do have stay overs at friends. Nothing to stop you from having a man in your life.
My only advice to you is keep yourself in tip top order, it does not have to cost the earth. Look good feel good be noticed.
Stick here great people, and great fun. Sailfree

Oh, I consider myself past it, no way!
Its just that, (you would have to have kids to understand this)while they have school (I am at work during these hours, not running around meeting new people having fun)and they have sleepovers at friends occasionally, its still difficult to establish a new relationship. You cant have a string of new fellas coming into the house when you have a child to consider and what impression the child gets. So it takes a while to get to get to know someone "at a distance" before you reach that stage. And therein lies the problem, but I know its not impossible, I do know there's nothing to stop me having a man in my life, but I dont just want any man and it takes more time and effort with a child to consider.
Thank you for your advice

illu_66: If you keep that mindset, it MAY be. But, we won't let you stay negative. If you're down,there are people who will help. You're only as alone as you chose to be
Thanks, thats nice to know. And I am out of that mindset now, it was a temporary moment that passed!

Welcome to CS. Many of us found ourselves in that situation at one time or another. Time passes and often things fall into place when the time is right.
Meanwhile, spend time on yourself, giving yourself little treats and working out, so you have the energy for the man of your dreams when he arrives.

englishelegance: I divorced my ex when my children were 12 and 14, had an ex partner after him that was a real creep, been on my own a while now. My take on life is,.. i would much rather be alone than with another "Jerk". I hope you find your way through all you are enduring, but, i would say to you,..value who you are and DONT settle for anything less than you are worth. There maybe someone out there who is worthy of you but you will encounter many who are not,..use your discretion and you wont go wrong. Good Luck sweetie
Thank you so much. I do agree, and I have come to realise in the past couple of years, that it is soo much better to be single than in a bad relationship. I actually have grown and learned a lot in the past couple of years through being a single person after a 17 year marriage. And I will not settle for less than I deserve.

Many of the Dublin members meet up about once a month I think, to have brunch. Nice crowd of people. I have met many of them. Some are in the same boat as you are, and might be able to suggest ways for you to get out more. Or maybe to have meet ups or days out with kids.
Ask in the IE forums.

I've been away from here since I started this thread and I came back to take a look and, well, I am struck by how nice people here are so thank you all very very much.
I am feeling better now, I was feeling particularly low when I started and I suppose I just wanted to express my feelings and see what feedback I got. I am pleasantly suprised, it makes me feel better to know that people can relate to how I feel.
