Thank you. I'm starting to feel I must settle with my lot but that doesn't sit easy with me. I have many blessings. I recognise them. But I also hope for more. I'm 37 I'd like to find someone to share a life with. Happiness and peace in a loving relationship is what I dream of.

I'm sure you won't have to settle for what you have now, but it would probably be safer not to rush into anything as that could leave you more open to making a poor choice. I was single for quite some time after a relationship breakup but I ended up meeting someone by chance when I had pretty much resigned myself to a life of singledom. Good things do happen!

I'm glad you found your happy ever after. N I'm defiantly not rushing. I'm just sick of my friends trying to encourage me not to even dream. I'm sick of them also saying I rushed last time. I was on my own over a year n I met someone by chance. Yes it didn't work out but that's because of things neither of us could predict. My friends were very supportive at the time but now its not worked out they all acting like they always thought it was a bad idea.
All I want is to be allowed to hope n dream n not think if I get a chance at happiness everyone around me will be judging me based on the number of hours minutes days months n years I've lived a solo life!

Good for you for getting out of your abusive relationship! I wish more people had the strength to do that--especially when children are involved.
Rather than telling you to focus on your daughters, I'd tell you to focus on yourself. Abusive relationships are draining for your soul. You need to rebuild it before you'll be ready to be a full partner in another relationship. Make sure you're loving who you are before diving back into the waters because only when your heart is beating for you can someone else see the full measure of it and long to have it beat for them, too.
No, it's not wrong to not want to be living life with no one to share it with. When you meet him, just make sure you give yourself enough time to ensure that he's really the right one.

Thank you. I hope you got your happy ending. I guess I just want permission to hope n to ask the universe to provide. People around me seem to think I must settle.

Oh no! Never settle. Done this rodeo a few times. Take your time.
