Why don’t you just watch movies that empower women that are single with kids and make you want to be single with kids it’s very motivating. That’s what I did.
I was in the exact same position as you, dreaming and wanting the love you read about. Honestly, I got back onto dating apps, took a few weeks after joining one app for me to realise how happy I am being single 😂. The love you read about is reserved for fictional characters (and sometimes rarely yes in real life, but honestly after seeing what’s out there, I wouldn’t risk my happiness and peace for even a second 😂) xx
I'm in 2 minds about it, also haven't been with the lying baby Dad since Jan. It broke my heart and as I got a bit of trust issues now i just try not to think about men. Also avoiding romcoms ^ 😅 but jumping on any crime thriller series's i come across, even action films are entertaining now. Just think in these times, esp where every day is centered around our little people, it takes a lot more time to grieve that relationship. It's hard parting from your child's Father, right? It makes the break up so much harder. Feels so unnatural to leave them, yet we probably stayed with them far longer than we ought to have, just because they share our offspring. It's gonna take time, to even think about a potential love match again. Hearts got to heal 💔
It’s so freaking hard. But this is the time where my best friends help out a lot. They’ll help me get out of the house for the day. (It’s been hard doing that with a 4 month old). And they are just so lovely. I also know my son has amazing guys in his life that will help guide him to be an amazing man in his future. I just remind myself of that.
I find watching rom coms etc make it worse for me so I try to steer clear of them. As bad as this may sound, attention from other males helps sometimes. Even if it’s just chatting online, not even romantically. Also distractions. Truly focussing on my little one and our new life. Sending positive thoughts mumma x
