Divorcee Doesn’t Find True Love
so far, anyway
I have been divorced for over three years now. My marriage held on for over 20 years before kicking the bucket.
I have finally gotten used to being a single adult female but I want to complicate the situation by considering a new relationship. I am waiting for “the one” to show up in my life.
Waiting around is difficult. I go places. I meet people. I guess I go to the wrong places and meet the wrong people because I still haven’t been on a date.
I begin to wonder if I am armoring myself against men and keeping them from trying to get to know me. I wonder if it’s my age. Am I too tall or short? Too chubby? Too old?
I don’t think it’s any of those things. I think there is still a part of me that is holding back. Also, I’m an introvert which means I’m not a natural conversation starter or carrier.
Where are the dudes hiding these days? And do I go looking for them or keep waiting patiently to meet someone in my day-to-day life?
Maybe I’m still too damaged from my past and people can see it in my eyes. I don’t know.
Some days I think I should just let go of ever being in another relationship. Never even think of it as a possibility.
Other days I think I should give my life more space for a significant other. I’m a busy single mom. Where would a man fit in?
Anyways that’s where I am. If you have found true love after a horrible relationship please share how it happened for you. I want to hear more stories of people finding love. Where did you meet? Were you set up by friends or was it an accidental meeting at the grocery store? Deets, please.
I hope you’re all having a wonderful week.
Signing off,
❤ Julia
