Hi, I'm just after advice on dating in early 40s. Do you go on sites or can anyone recommend one please? I've recently come out of a DV relationship and am not sure on what to do as I've been controller for over 3 years as to where I can go, what I can do, what I can eat even. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
At the end of the day I just want someone to love me as much as I love and respect them. Life is too short to be alone. Thankyou also 💞

Don’t start dating yet. Life is too short to be treated poorly by another abuser.
From experience, people who have been in abusive relationships are likely to get themselves in another DV situation.
Learn to be single, learn who you are as a person, go the places you want to go, do the things you want to do. Get your confidence back.
Research red flags for DV. Especially the sneaky ‘white knights’ and ‘love bombers’ because you are an easy target for them at this point in time.
Get yourself some counselling.
Then get yourself on a paid dating site, RSVP is relatively safe.
This is helpful advice, Thankyou so much. I use to be so confident, able to do whatever and then that all changed. Heartbreaking when you put 200% into some one and they use you and don't want to acknowledge you as a partner to his family. Even my adult kids didn't like him but I loved him and was trying to change him.
More fool me hey 😞 it's embarrassing but you can't see it until it happens.
