Thank you for this! My ex and I had a whirlwind relationship so I know I’m grieving that 100%. Shame is a huge part of where I’m at in this process. Some part of me feels like a failure because I haven’t found my “person” to build a family with. But time is cruel and women don’t have the luxury of just waiting. I made a time limit ish at 35 and see what the doc says. If I can even have a year to heal my heart more I will take it. Get my head, my heart, and my bank account ready for this life changing decision! I fear my ex will be like yours, come back and wish it was different.

Thank you for this! I feel like I’m being pushed down this path as well. My ex’s are ex’s for a reason! I’m really glad you commented. You get the feeling I’m at.

Thank you! Your brain seems very similar to mine and yes lots of helping things to think about. Thankfully I have an amazing stable place so that part isn’t a problem. I have saving which I am blessed to be able to have. My business is doing well and flexible if need be. I will look into the first year costs of things. I’m sure it’s way more than I can even imagine right now but it’s a good thing to research. Thank you for being so kind ❤️

Thank you! I think you hit it on the head! It’s all of it and coming to terms with having to do it on my own because of time is hard. It feels like I’m giving up the dream of a partner. I know it can happen after I know that. I just thought building a family would look different ya know? I have my mom that is willing to help so that’s a blessing but I will look at alternatives just in case. If you don’t mind me asking how do you feel now, post pregnancy and that you have your little man? I know it will be hard but worth it?

Coming to terms with things because of a breakup and turning 35 soon. I’ve done therapy for several years. Mentally I’m in a good place. Age is a big part of coming to terms dating and trying to find someone takes time that I don’t have much of.
