Been off the boards for a while, but I wanted to stop by. I really relate....
Ex spouse that does the bare minimum with his child. Hard to comprehend and accept. Sure it's their loss, but as moms we want for our kids what every kid deserves. And it's frusturating.
Desire for intimacy. Yes! It's normal. We are human. (I started dating someone perhaps when I'm not completely ready but I wanted that intimacy). Honestly, it makes no sense why your having trouble. A guy would be lucky to have you. You pretty much have everything going for you and a lot to be admired. Maybe it's the area? Maybe you send out the super independent signals and guys get intimidated? I don't know. I'm not a guy, but if I was I'd go for you...(but I'm also very smart ). I'm positive you will find someone that adores you and vice versa and I hope it's soon.
Finding an affordable place to live. I totally relate to this one, and would love to get out of the area like everyone else our age. affordable housing sounds like a dream!
