[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeez people. Before you pounce on OP….
You can take care of your kids AND date. 
What is it with people who want others to just keep pouring from an empty cup, forever?
We need love. It’s very lonely without it.

OP I’m 43 and divorced from a man and dating women. 
Post-divorce I’ve had 1 relationship end very sadly. 
It’s lonely, but not hopeless.
I try to believe that if and when I’ve healed and can make enough room to connect with someone again, there will be someone out there for me.
In the meantime I’m focused on my career, my kids, and friendships/connections in the lesbian community while I’m not emotionally available for a relationship. I’m keeping myself in pretty good shape, just in case. [/quote]

Thank you PP. I think I'd feel more positive about everything if I wanted the divorce but it's like everything is being forced upon me and I'm trying to do the best with the hand I've been dealt (and to reiterate, not anytime in the near future). I hope you find someone.[/quote]

That is a very very hard thing to deal with and you should take the time you need with it, but if at all possible I hope you can shift your energy to accepting the divorce and moving on to what needs to be done. The sooner the divorce is over, the sooner everyone involved can move to “new normal” and you may find yourself feeling better about finding someone, 
OP do you work? Have you been the default parent?[/quote]

I'm working through it. I do work, part time, and yes I am the default parent. [/quote]
