[quote=Anonymous]It helped me to focus on the fact that I wasn't really mourning the loss of the relationship (3 months is a short time), but that I was mourning the loss of my hopes and dreams.  Once in a good relationship, I thought about the possibilities for a happy future, etc.  It was the loss of those dreams that was crushing.  However, the end of ONE relationship doesn't actually mean that you will never find the right guy.  It just means that the one guy wasn't the right one for you.

Keep on looking.  It sounds like he was unwilling to step into a situation where he would be a step-parent.  That is not unusual.  Many people find that they don't want the added pressure of being involved with someone with significant ties to a prior (and especially abusive) relationship.  There are good guys out there that will step up to that challenge.  Just be patient.

Focus on you and your needs.  What else can you do to find fulfillment in your life?  When you take care of yourself and your family (your child), you may find it easier to find someone to join you.[/quote]
