Single Mother Looking For Love by Chizoba36(f): 6:39am On Jul 08, 2015
At the age of 36, as a single parent I have to wonder if this is the end of it for me........... I wonder if it is too late to find love........
Any single ladies in the house what are your thoughts? I am absolutely devoted to my children, but I am so lonely.......
Have you given up on love completely? Let's chat

Life just happens my dear. It is a long story but one of two incompatible people...... loads of other issues that I don't think are entirely necessary to share.

My question is looking at my future and not the past........

Firstly marriage is hard work! Courtship is the easy part once the roman and honeymoon period end the real work begins. Some people mask their true selves until a little later in the marriage . Some people will tell you there must have sign when you were dating etc of their true character but believe me some people are extraordinary actors!

1. Make sure that you are friends above all else! You have to LIKE the person you are with and have a genuine friendship and common interest otherwise when the crazy sex wears of and you cannot Co exist as friends then you have a problem.

2. Make sure you in laws like and accept you. In African marriages you marry the whole family! My marriage was destroyed 50% by the fact that my in laws hated me even before they met me because of where I am from! I should have walked away at that point because they wanted my husband to marry someone else but I naively thought our love could conquer all! How wrong was I

Sweetheart, you have all the love you can ever hope for. Whether it's a child or children, love em like the world is about to end tomorrow. I know how it feels though, I have a female friend;a colleague, who is also a single mom. And the supposed hubby of her kid is a complete waste. There are days she cries...she asks questions...she complains...it's never easy. It's never, ever easy. But you should realise that in your 'desperate' need for love, you might make the 'mistake' you made the first time.

So, I think you should:

1. Draw close to God. He is your comfort, your love, your everything.

2. Your child/children is/are your love. Love her/him/them with all your might. You don't need a man to complicate issues for you right now. Love and concentrate all your energy in bringing that kid up.

I realise it's easier said than done, but I really hope you do it. Cheers!

What has getting married early got to do with OP's predicament? If you like marry at 50, once it's with the wrong person it's bound to fail..

The advice should be to marry for the right reasons to the right person. . Age doesn't really matter as long as they're both adults. ..

In Africa people frowns at single mothers, but embrace single fathers, it is even worse if the single mother is not a widow, people will regard her as a promiscuous lady. May you get an understanding man that will love& care about you.

The bold 2 is the red flag you missed. In courtship, people don't pay attention to things that really matter but to mundane things because of emotions.

@Topic, best things in life happen when we least expect them. Be committed to your daily activities. Don't be anxious or desperate in finding a man. You will be found when the time comes and age is still on your side.. No worries

Hey Chizoba.

Just a quick question, do you consider someone younger (let's say by 8-10years) with a child.
Re: Single Mother Looking For Love by Chizoba36(f): 4:53am On Jul 09, 2015
Thanks to everyone who has responded to my post! I have quite a few attempts of private messages, flattering as it may be I am really not desperate or wanting to rush into anything. I was more interested in us engaging in dialogue about matters of the heart that affect single parents. Finding love when you have kids is more complicated because you ask yourself :

1. Will your new partner love and truly accept your child / children
2. Will their family accept you and your kids
3. There are also money matters, some people may not be happy to accept financial responsibility for children that are not biologically theirs.
4. So how much participation can you expect from your partner when it comes to raising kids from previous relationships
5. Do blended families really work - not just for the adults but for the kids

So many questions really that one cannot answer until you find yourself kneed deep in that situation.

Relationships are very complicated in this age of me me.
Every seeks self fullfilment of one type or another. Every one wants more of everything. In this atmosphere, it is becoming almost impossible for two people to have common needs, common aspirations, common integrity and common values for any extended period of time.

Love is an illusion that lulls people into a false sense of security, wellbeing and fullfilment.

Everyone should be striving to find common values, respect and deep friendship, not love.

Unfortunately, women always seem to be at the loosing end of this, because they are always looking for the elusive neatly packaged love.

Love is not only hard to find, but even harder to maintain and endure.

How can two people ever love equally? Not possible. One partner has to love more to keep the union going. But for how long?

So, is it better to love more or be loved more?

Are you seeking someone to love, or someone to love you.
It gets very complicated.
