Hey all. I’m considering breaking up with my boyfriend/father of my child. I’ve been pulling myself away emotionally since he broke up with me last year. He was the one who came back & asked for us to get back together but the hurt never left for me.
I’m going to of course take my time to heal but my biggest fear is not finding someone because I have a child. Can someone confirm to me that you’re still desirable with a child? And that the dating pool isn’t just full of piss?

Oh, the dating pool most certainly is full of piss but there are still amazing men out there just few and very far in between.
You are definitely still desirable. I have 5 kids, and 4 are from my previous marriage. I had 4 kids and am still worth it, but ya know what? My kids are worth being loved by a good father, too, and I am so blessed for the husband I now have. You just have to be extremely careful of who, how, and when you allow someone in your baby's life. Be sure about them first. Before I met my husband, after going through a crappy divorce, I tried dating and getting out there, and the men were grotesque in behavior and mindset, but I did find my husband, so there is hope. I just honestly gave up on being in a relationship ever again and then became friends first with my husband, and it went from there.
