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.
Every day is a step to what I want my life to me.
Apparently I struck a nerve. And you misunderstood. Didn't say you needed a man, I said the dating while still married sends that message. Whether it's true or not, it appears that you do. Just my opinion. And apparently my opinions are no longer welcome here so I'll just say good luck, and bow out of your thread. I truly wish for nothing but the best for you and hope you find whatever makes you happy.
