What's wrong with me? How did I become undateable?
I have my shit together, I work part time, financially stable, (have a car, paying a mortgage, but renting a larger home), intelligent, happy, but when did I become unlovable to a decent, kind man? Or am I searching/waiting for a unicorn?
I didn't sign up for this divorced thing... It was supposed to be forever. But alcohol got her nails into him and he chose her over the kids and I.
I really want someone to give a shit about me, ask me how my day was, make me a coffee... I have family and friends, but they all have others to debrief with the day, put sunscreen on their back, and pick up the slack.
Friends can't believe that I am not dating, or don't have a friend, or boyfriend. "but you're amazing... "
😢

Honestly, my divorced friends are struggling too. The people they have available to date are either divorced because they weren't a true partner, or they're bitter and angry and distrusting if you manage to scratch the surface because their first marriage dissolving broke them. Hubby and I often comment about how hard it would be.
The ones who give a shit, care and pick up the slack are few and far between... please don't settle for seconds. I'd rather put on my own sunscreen, than compromise my standards for what's on offer...
Dating isn’t a thing anymore. It’s not you. It’s society.
I’d rather be single for the rest of my life than settle for less than I deserve. I’m not looking for a prince, just a guy who treats someone like a human and isn’t living in the dark ages.
I hear you! I'm so over hearing "You're amazing and you'll find someone' umm no I keep finding men who just tell me "you'll find someone" instead of actually finding someone!!! It's so unbelievably frustrating.
You are not alone in feeling this way. I would rather stay single for the rest of my life then settle for something.
Honestly I feel men who have been married, had children, bought a house and done all the adult responsibilities and are now divorced or separated for what ever reason are not interested in a proper relationship.
Widowed at 30, yet more stable than those around me, and I get this treatment too.
My son calls me beautiful so I'm content... for now. But it's not the same.
And can the useless boys please stop sniffing in my direction. Man up or fuck off
