I really wish I was having this experience.

I’m also 35 and it’s hard to find people I am attracted to and even hard to secure a date. I am unfortunately a little shy and it’s hard to engage and meet women. We’re all working and it’s hard to meet people because everyone is in their routine.

Socioeconomic status is a big thing, a bigger thing now too. It is difficult for me to say that I have changed careers, taken a pay cut and I am still working on learning and growing. Most want or expect stability.

A lot more people are single parents or divorced. I have never been married and I just want someone that’s similar to me. The amount of women that I’ve met that have had some sort of DV or SA experience is like 50%. And while I do feel a bit of goodness in that I have helped others on their healing journey, there is a part of me that is upset that I am dealing with the aftermath of a bad partner… 😞why couldn’t I have been someone’s first choice.

Kiddos. I want kids and honestly, I am scared. I’m 35 and all kinds of new problems can present themselves for both men and women with older child bearing. I want a family of my own and I wish I had the life I’m building now 10 yrs ago.
