No confidence since break up from 12 mts

6480

I broke up with my girlfriend of ten years just over a year ago .

It was because we both worked too much and I felt that I was on my own so much over the last 8 years raising our only son.

She worked in a 5 a day job and 2 to 3 nights of the weekend in a bar.

She would never talk about our problems

She worked so much to keep herself busy so she could keep her self busy from an abusive past

Along with this I got buried in depression from my own family issues from the past and with the pressure of our relationship I went down with depression and my ex just ignored it and moved out

We get on now for the sake of our son

I am in good enough form again but I feel lonely at times

How do I go about to try meeting someone in their early forties

Being lonely isn't enough of a reason to meet someone right now.

You say you are in good enough form but that sounds like trying to put a positive spin on something not fully resolved.

Take the time to gey yourself into a better place emotionally and mentally, maybe some counselling and then have a think about if you want a partner for reasons other than being lonely.
