I am assuming you mean keep positive about meeting a partner?
I dont see the need to, I think we waste to much time thinking that we need a partner and not enough enjoying what we have. I dont think meeeting a partner is the be all and end all, some of us are meant to be single, is simply a fact of life.
Children who live with parents who are constantly hostile to each other will be scarred as much, if not more, than parents who seperate.
I grew up in such a family and spent my whole childhood in fear of the rows and wishing my parents would split up.
When my marraige disintergrated I decided I was not going to carry on that cycle. No I didnt run at the first hurdle, I tried for 14 years to make it work but as my children got older I could see it starting to affect them.
My son told me a few years later that the night his Father moved out was the first night he remembered not crying himself to sleep.
