[quote=Anonymous]My ex husband blew up his (our) entire life (marriage, career, friendships, family of origin) 4 years ago and I divorced him. Our kids were only 1 and 3 at the time. I was 30. It was devastating to me and I was absolutely blindsided, but I never dropped any balls. I'm in a really good place as a mom, in my career, my girls friends, etc. Ive had the kids in therapy since they were each 4yo and theyre great, well adjusted kids so far.

I am just so freaking lonely. I always wanted a partnership, to do life with someone.

I feel so guilty wanting to build a second version of life with someone new. It seems like everyone says that you should wait til the kids are out of the house to be serious with someone, but if Im being honest 15+ years feels so, so long and like I have so much love to give someone (and hopefully receive) and my prime is just being wasted because of what my ex husband did to me. I absolutely know that motherhood is a gift and I do treasure of it and work very hard to be a good parent. And I want to always keep my kids needs paramount, but man do I want a partner.[/quote]
