Question - (27 October 2007) 4 Answers - (Newest, 28 October 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I am about to leave a relationship that I have been in for 5 years. We have a 3 year old son. After years of trying I have realised that I am 100% not happy and really just want to move on. Of course I want to also ensure my son is happy too and will do my best to ensure that he is affected by this as little as possible and that his contact with his father and me is as equal as possible.

My problem is that I am worried that I will not find anyone in the future because I will be a single parent. I am 27 years old have a great job, im caring, pretty and have everything going for me but im worried that being a single parent it will be hard for me to meet someone and if I do will most men be put off?

Statistics show that single mothers with sons are far more likely to remarry than single mothers with daughters. But whether or not you will meet someone else is not really the issue. What is best for you and your son regarding a divorce? You need to make this decision based upon this question and not out of fear of the future.

Richard_EMids agony auntHi there. Well don't worry about it because I am sure you will meet someone. Might be another single dad for example. No it won't put most men off - might put a few off that's all. Concentrate on doing what you've got to do and making sure your son is Ok as you go through this difficult time. Try not to make it a war between the two of you - no one wins - and your son looses. I know it's not easy. At 28 or 29 or 30 for that matter - you will have no trouble meeting someone else - you will need a babysitter though. Good luck and take care of yourself and son.
