[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently divorced and now I'm through the initial hump, I find I'm thinking about the future and wondering if I'll ever meet anyone again.

Am a woman, mid 40s, have a good job, 7 and 10 year old. 'decent' looks wise (or at least I used to be - sigh). I'm funny if that helps!

Feels kind of sad to imagine that was it but then i know for a lot of people they never do meet someone new so wondering about folks experiences on here. [/quote]

It's easy to meet people. The harder part is finding someone your kids like and who can play the role you want him to.[/quote]

that's the thing. I feel like: 
a. who would want me and both my kids/ want to be a great stepdad to them (no one sane?)
b. not bring own excessive baggage

but i like the idea of soulmate and sharing life and being together and helping each other when old. I'm still a romantic... [/quote]

I thought the same thing. It's really true there's a lid for every pot. What shifted was a friend gave me a pep talk when I was saying no one would want to date a mom like me and she said that was toxic and I had to believe I could have any man I wanted. I have the kindest and gentlest boyfriend now that my kids adore. He has baggage but don't we all. The main thing is to find someone willing to admit and deal with the baggage through proven means (can apologize, willing to try therapy, takes suggestions). [/quote]
