I am 28F with a 7 year old daughter. I am single mom. Her dad is weekend dad and only sees her very other weekend. In retro span of a month she is with him 4 days and with me the rest. I got fixed. No more kids. It crazy with him in the beginning we are good now but that gave me impression. I ideally wanted a partner who went to the doctor visit with me, find out the gender and the heart beat, and be there. I didn’t get any of that. All these dates I go on all these men lie I and I find out after. Felon, married, have kids and etc. Every interaction makes me trust less. The ones I really do like want to pursue have no interest in me. The ones who lied or don’t have anything going on are the ones who want me. I can’t be dragged down. I am barely keeping it up as it is. I have to be the support for my daughter so I can’t be the support for someone else who needs everything done for them. I want love, I want to be married. I wanna do it once only and that’s it. My personal and my ride or die. That knows my feeling well. That I can make them Happy and we can be a happy family. But my daughter is my priority. I want her to feel chosen and present. Something I didn’t feel growing up. I am feeling my inner child but as well trying to be the mom she needs. I’m tired of getting attached or trying to people who I feel these guys see me everything but a life partner. I am done dating. I am just going to live. Not going to try. Just enjoy.
