Single ... yet again ..

[black562]

I've often noticed that the things that ex boyfriends/girlfriends hate more than anything is to see you out, enjoying yourself and having a good time. In other words, they hate to see you move on. I also believe in karma and that good things happen to good people and vice-versa. You take care of yourself and live life to its fullest, and he'll regret the decisions he's made and pay for those decisions eventually. You sound like a great person and deserve better.

Some hugs for you!!!

i love you guys all on here and ur kind words xx

 

[ChevyNat]

Yes, it's hard when they leave us... but I gave myself 100% to my kids and enjoy every minute with them... They are growing up loved, healthy and surrounded by my family. And every single one of my ex's family is stunned to see me move on and enjoy myself on my trips with my kids and being happy without him and continuing my life... I think like Joe said it... it's worse for them ha! ha! Loving it!

 

[disney.freak]

well babe, you'v finally met your Disney Prince. and here i am

i love you babe, cant wait till Jan xxxxxxxx <3

 

[Mahorn]

Natalie I just wanted to say that i empathize with you. Its not easy being a single parent even when you have help from family and friends. I like so many others had my ex husband walk out on me with three kids. Its not easy and I have my ups and downs, but its okay and I am trying to enjoy my "freedom' when I have it. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on you can pm me.


Chin up things will get better.

Natalie, I know the pain and confusion you were feeling a few months ago. Just a few months after I proposed to my last , she changed her mind an called off our engagement. While disappointing, I know that in time I will find a new to . When and where, only time will tell. But if I accept my DB-I-L's advice, I should hold out for a fellow DVC member, who may or may not golf. He shared this advice with me while we were golfing at HHI this past week. I think I will see what Disney Princess comes my way and take it from there.

This is why I love the disboards.... everyone comes together with support and love. Even those not directly involved with this thread can come away feeling better by reading other's advice / stories and take it to heart in their own life. Thanks everyone!

I believe I have you all beat. I'm 53, was married at 21, divorced at 29, then remarried at 36, became a widow at 43, and been single ever since. I do have 1 son who is 25. It took some adjusting to being a single parent to a teenage son. But I did it and now I'm totally content with my life. Sure I won't mind meeting someone again, but to tell you the truth, I haven't really been looking.

Natalie enjoy the time you have with you son. Before you know it he will be grown and out of the house. Your still young, don't rush into any relationship. Have some alone time and find out want you want to do.

 

[StitchesGr8Fan]

Try being 32 and single your in great shape sweetie.

Not helping! I just turned 29 and am freaking out about still being single!

 

[champ5601]

No worries, you are still young, you have your whole life ahead. I've had my fair share of break-ups. Just enjoy every day and that someone will show up one day, probably sooner than later.

 

[momsoftwins]

Well I am a divorced mom of 2. 34 yrs old n I will tell ya being alone is a hard thing. But my girls r my life. But it would also be nice to have someone to share an adult conversation with. I know I have to be patient n things will happen as they should but what a bonus if he was a disney freak too!!

Darn,, I was about to post that I had everyone beat until I saw your post.

I'm 51,, married at 23 , divorced at 35, remarried at 40, divorce will be final any day now. at 51
December 5th I met an incredible woman, we dated several times a week for 3 weeks..everyone who saw us together commented on how happy we looked together and what a great looking couple we were, she kept telling me how happy she was, I smiled and laughed more in 3 weeks than I had in the past 11 years..and I was happier than I've ever been,

New Years Eve she told me it was over..???

I leave Wednesday Morning for WDW, staying in Orlando 'till the 22nd, I sure hope Disney can lift my spirits..

to the OP, your pain is fresh, as others have stated, keep your chin up, enjoy your son, when the time is right a good man, who appreciates all you have to offer, will come into your life

OMG...sorry to hear that you were dump. Did she even tell you why?
Enjoy Disney and I hope it does lift your spirits. I'll be leaving on Friday for a cruise to the Caribbean's which I can't wait to get out of this cold weather.

 

[Oz-kateer]

I know the feeling - I got dumped first thing in the morning on new years day! But this was years ago, am over it now...

I've been single for 6 years and actually like it. I have a good job, my own house by the beach in a great city, a lovely son, nice friends, supportive family, and can come and go as I please with no hassle.

it was crazy, she's a 45 year old Thai woman, so we did have some communication issues, last wednesday she texted me, told me she was off work and had an appointment to get her hair done, I texted back and said Ok talk to ya later/..

she then called from the salon and said she was in the chair and her friend was doing her hair as we spoke,

I told her I didin't understand what they could possibly do to make her any more beautiful than she already is.

she told her friend, who then asked if I was her boyfriend, she said we had been dating for 3 weeks, her friend then said who is he to tell you that you shouldn't be doing something for yourself, he is obviously a control freak, you should run from him now before it gets worse..

I tried explaining that I never said she shouldn't be doing it, and pointed out that I didn't text or call to stop her when she told me where she was going, and that had she not called we never even would have had the conversation, plus repeatedly told her that her friend was way wrong,

.. she chose to believe her friend rather than a guy she only knew for 3 weeks , even though all her other friends and coworkers, have been asking her for 3 weeks, why she seems so much happier and is looking so alive and younger etc etc... she had even told me how happy she was and how glad she was that we met...

 

[ttester9612]

Mickey88...I assume the friend doesn't even know you. Hopefully she will come to her senses and realized it was all a misunderstanding.

the friend has no clue who I am,

I'm hoping that somewhere in the midst of my trip My phone will ring and it will be her

I'm sorry for the pain several of you have experienced recently. So are any of you 50ish single folks going to be down there 1/23-30 cause I'm about to be suddenly single again and it's going to be tough after dating 1 1/2 years. I'll know more how I really feel after this all goes down this weekend. He has been so special to me, but he just can't move past his love for his deceased wife and I always come in a distant second. Yes, it is going to hurt. It would be nice to raise a glass w/ all of you "Here's to finding our best friend" BTW, DisneyDave in CT, I am a DVCer but I don't golf!
