Staying positive whilst single

I was in a relationship for a long time, it ended. I thought I would marry this man and have a family.

I’ve been single for a little while now and feeling a bit down. I’m getting older and I’m fearful I’ll never meet the right man or have a family.

I’m okay on my own. I have brilliant friends and family. I have a busy, fulfilling, amazing life. I work full time and run a successful side business. I own my own property. I play mixed team sport. I have three university degrees. I work hard on myself as a person. I put myself out there.

I try so hard and I just wanted to ask for stories of hope or advice to get through these fears and worries.

You have an amazing life which you share with amazing people. Some day you may share it with an amazing partner too. Sounds like you live a quality life and will not just settle for anyone less than special ;) I had three children and had escaped an abusive relationship. I thought I was done and had baggage galore. I dated alot but just kept refusing to engage in a relationship for some time. It really helped me to clarify what I didn't want. Then I went on a date and instantly knew this one man was different (dang it haha). The connection was there from the beginning and it was the kindness emanating from him that drew me in. It can all change in an instant. Over 5 years later and still going strong and he's still the beautiful person I thought he was when I first met him. Don't try to force what isn't there or settle for less as it can mean missing someone truly special. Enjoy every moment <3

If you really want children you can do it on your own. I know of a couple of people who have used donars to have their families. I was in my early 30’s before I met my now husband and 37 and 39 when I had my children.
