How many of you were single parents and then got married to someone other than the father? stayed single?

Question

It looks like i may be a single mom. I just want hope I wont be alone forever.

Answer 1

Awh, you won't be alone forever. I promise. There's still a few good guys out there! Good luck!

Answer 2

I left my first husband - because I was not happy. He was irresponsible but not neglectful or abusive. He just never grew up. I did this when I had four children - at the time I think they were 8,5,3 & 1 (or close to that age).

Like you I basically thought that specially with 4 kids, any hopes of a partner until my kids were grown up was out of the question.

We seperated in the January, I met my now-husband in the May, we married November the next year and this coming November will be our 5th Anniversary of getting married. We have a 2.5 year old and I am 25 weeks pregnant with another.

I am not an overally attractive person - not ugly at all, just normal. I am not a mega-rich person. My husband is attractive so it is not like I settled for anything less or a loser or anything. We were both just in the right place at the right time and clicked.

When he asked me to marrry him I hounded him with questions about being sure and taking on my kids as his own etc., and he said he never saw past us all as a package and he loved his instant family.

I hope this gives you hope. There really are good, decent people out there. And realistically, these are the ones you want anyway.

Good luck.
