Will I ever find love again?

It's easy when you're single with no attachments to find someone that's interested in you, become friends and start a relationship. But, what if you have baggage from previous marriages and kids? I would really like to know what people think.

I am currently separated from my second husband. I was lucky to find a man who was willing to accept the two kids I already had from my previous marriage. Our marriage didn't last though and now I have 5 kids! I work from home, I have no friends and I don't go out ever. I am not someone who will go out on my own and since I don't have any friends, there's just no one to go out with.

I'm starting to worry that I will grow old alone and have no one to share my life with. Is there decent men in this world that will accept a woman with so much baggage? Is it possible to have a normal relationship again with someone?

I am skeptical to go with online dating, because most men there just look for a good time.

Share it!

  • Hope, faith and trust don't let go of them.
    You'll find love or love will find you.

  • Thanx for everyone's input in this. Lol Zedera! I know happiness doesn't come from anyone but yourself. I guess I'm more afraid of the loneliness than anything else. Maybe it is time I do things on my own for a change and rediscover who I really am and what I like in life. It's just not worth it to let your whole life pass without having the right answers right?

  • hmmmm, tough one, and dont get me wrong here, cos I sure aint no psychologist or anything, but there seems to be a pattern in what is happening with you.
    From my own personal experience - there is NOT that 1 guy or girl that is going to make you happy for the rest of your life.
    To answer your q, sure there will be some "handsome prince" to sweep you off your feet, but over time the same old same old is going to keep happening until you address whatever issue it is that seems to keep popping up in your life, and forcing your hand to leave a marriage.
    By no means is it a easy thing to accomplish, but sooner or later you are going to have to do the whole long hard look in the mirror thing, and realize that finding that love is not going to make you happy - infact nothing in this world can make you happy until your secure in the knowledge that happiness is a stoopid term we as human use, and is always going to let you down sooner or later.
    If I was you I would start with my self and say right, what do I need to be full filled in my life, and how do I go about making those changes.
    When all is said and done, its all on you girl, only you can know what you need to do, and put things in place to live your life. Once that happens men will be flocking to be with you (regardless of how many kids you have, or what your outward appearance may be) cos what you have to offer nobody can ever take away from you.
    I hope this makes some sense.
    that'll be R450 please : D

  • I come from a small village and where I come from there's never too much buggage especially when it comes to kids...my grandfather (bless his soul), also told me that when you give yourself enough time to heal and get over your past on your own, with enough support structure love will find its way to your heart...don't worry it will happen in its time God will never forsake you...
