I’ve been single for many years (8+). I have a teenager and have devoted these years to them but also on my own healing from their dad. I support myself, good job, home, etc etc. I struggle with my looks as I’m aging. I’m also not convinced I belong in the city I’m in (for almost 10 yrs now) and plan to relocate once my kid graduates high school. Years ago when I was dating I was obviously younger and much more confident. Now to why I’m here—In the last 6 months I’ve had dreams of a loving partner. Riding in the car, holding onto his arm, affection, loving…and I genuinely want this for myself. I turn 40 in a few weeks and cannot believe my 30’s are gone & I’m still single. Would love to hear your stories of new love in your 40’s, how your priorities shifted with age, etc. I don’t want to do life alone for forever. ❤️older submitted by /u/OneSpecific2331
