No comment on the effect internet dating might have on your son?
My son is away at college.
But, I am aware of his opinion. He does not want STBXH in my life or his. And, that he is completely fine with me dating and finding someone new.
Yeah, ok. Again, it is your life, your decision, but I worry about the impact on him and the message it sends that you HAVE to HAVE a man (woman for him) in your life in order to be happy. And that being a fulfilled individual first is not important.
I don't have to have a man.
Not sure where you got that from... I get it... I'm moving on and dating but I don't have to have a man.
I raised my son from birth to 8yr old as a single woman. I traveled this country extensively as a single woman and ALONE. I'm comfortable in my own skin to go to dinner in a resturant alone. I'll go to events alone... I'll go to movies alone.
I don't have an issue being alone.
I'd like to be more social so I hit the dating apps. Tons of guys wanting to be friends and to hang out and be a support system for me... I just got caught up in one that took more of my heart than I planned.
Yes, I get that I'm still processing things from my M and my STBXH.
