mommas who left while pregnant - how long did you wait before moving on/dating/getting into a new relationship ?
I left my ex fiancé at 12 weeks pregnant after 3 years. I’d been pretty madly in love with him and I overlooked a lot of red flags. I wasn’t perfect either, but towards the end (the last year mainly) he made it very clear he wasn’t willing to work on or resolve any issues, much less even talk about them and I was constantly walking in egg shells. I asked for couples counseling multiple times and he’d always either make excuses or refuse. I also was doing almost everything around the house, and if I was already doing everything with him, I may as well be a parent without him as that’s not a partnership. Things were really bad when I left, and there’s not a chance of us working things out or getting back together.
I’m 23 and focusing on me and the baby now, enjoying my independence and healing. But part of me wonders if I’ll ever be able to move on or find real love, a good partner, or have a family one day. I’m so excited about the baby, but this isn’t how I planned on starting my family. It’s also still weird not being with my ex. I don’t plan on moving on for a while, and at just focusing on the tasks at hand, not to mention I’m not looking to jump into another relationship and would be very cautious before having to introduce my child to someone new. but for you single mommas who did fall in love again how long did you wait before dating again? How did it take you to meet your partner/spouse, and how did being a single mom affect your personal dating life?
