When should I start dating again? Should I start dating again?

I was never in a relationship with my baby’s father, he fancied me but I made it clear that I didn’t feel the same way as I had just gotten out of a 3 year relationship when we started hanging out. One thing just lead to another and we created a blessing. He always told me throughout my pregnancy I am not allowed to see anyone else because he will make me fall in love with him. I always told him that will never happen because I genuinely don’t have no sort of feelings for him. He told me a year after my baby is born I can then start dating if I really don’t want to be with him. He’s told me and my bff that he will fight any guy he sees talking to me if I’m out. If he finds out any guy is trying to make moves on me he will get mates to beat them up. He’s a known troublemaker is it worth the hassle? My baby is 9 weeks old now and I’m lonely. He isn’t really in my child’s life, he only makes his presence known when he wants to see me not the baby.

He will get his mates to beat them up 🤦🏼‍♀️ he sounds like an absolute knob tbh 😂 I say do what makes you happy but don’t rush back into dating, it can be lonely but enjoy your baby first without having to put your effort into a relationship

You can't let this man control your life, you're not even his mrs remember you can take control of your own life and it shouldn't be ran by anyone else. You're a strong independent woman, if you cant do it for yourself, do it for your little one, you don't wanna raise them to show them its okay for someone else to run their lifes and make decisions for you while being an adult You got this. i believe in you! Start dating, stay safe and have fun, get this confidence back up to 110% !

I personally wouldn’t date when my child is only 9 weeks old. Do you really want to risk having strangers coming into his life? Focus on your baby, even with a relationship unfortunately motherhood can be lonely especially with a newborn. Also your baby daddy sounds like a psycho.

Girl get out and do you if you ready for it go far it up dont need no wanna be mans permission do it for you amd ur baby dont let him control u

Get out and live your best life because being a new mom can be overwhelming and lonely sometimes so if you need someone for you, that’s OK just make sure your little one taken care of with a trusted sitter while you take an hour or two to yourself; if that be a lunch or dinner date do that but that man or no man controls you
