Single life....and no, not looking.

So it's weird and daunting being single after 10+ years.
Kids keep me busy and distracted, both welcome btw.
However, and not that I want to anytime soon, how do you start to trust and be with someone again when you've spent so long with someone else who kind of broke you?

Definitely not an easy task, and I reckon the walls will be built even higher if I ever let another love interest into my life again.

It took me a long time, in fact, I’m still working on it. Surround yourself with good people who will help you to trust again. Take care of you, the first step is learning to trust yourself again. You will want to traverse those walls when you find someone safe to do it with. Be kind to yourself. Use the situation as a learning experience to know yourself, what you want, what you don’t want.
