Jelous

[SimplyMum]

Does anyone get Jelous of married or partnered friends? I just look at the happy family snaps and it makes me so jelous why I can't find a suitable partner to ride off into the sunset with. I feel really guilty but I can't help it. I'd love to be able to give my beautiful DS a loving family- money just can't pay for that!:gloomy:

heya lee - dont feel guilty, thats a pretty normal feeling. I dont get jealous, but i do miss that feeling, sometimes.

Every time i see the happy family, i just remind myself that dd and I are our own happy famiy and when the time is right 'mr right' will pop up to join us. To be honest it really doesnt effect me like it used to - im pretty comfortable with my own solitude.

I believe that the people that are single (like us) are being given a chance to discover ourselves.

I never thought i would say this but im actualy happy being single at the moment. Im really discovering who i am and what im all about, which i would do so much if i as attached in a full on relationship.

Just keep in your mind that 'your time will come'. And as long as ds has you and you have him you are a happy little family. give yourself more credit!

I dont get jealous but I do think how lucky some people are to have a good partner. Like any relationship, Im sure its not so rosy all of the time anyway. Im sure you and the rest of us single mums will meet the man of our dreams one day when we least expect it. I personally couldnt be bothered at the moment with ANY man but that's because Im just about to pop out a baby. I havent given up on my dream to have my own little family one day, hopefully meet a nice partner, have more babies ect. You will find yours too. All in good time! :)

I don't really get jealous of my friends cause I am the only married with a family amongst them all.

I can see where you are coming from and I feel exactly the same way. I feel guilty for doing it but I did have that happy family(well I thought I did) but when I was 7 months pregnant my husband (we had only been married 8 months) had an affair. He waited for the birth pretending to work it all out and left when my baby was 3 weeks old. He is now living in the states with the girl he had an affair with and is working for her family business. (my boy is only 10 weeks old now). I have since found out that he did this to the last 4 women he was with so I don't feel so bad now. I know I am better off and things do happen for a reason so we are probably going to meet the man of our dreams when we least expect it. It will happen just don't look for it because that is when it will not be true. :shame:

i get Jelous,, somehow this is how i always picture my life as sad as it is, i always said i will be a single mum:rolleyes: as much as i love men i dont do well with them,,

i look at my mum and dad they are so madly in love still to this day,, i have always wanted to have something like that,,

hoping for the same thing...

i sumtimes get jel because i find it hard not having that sumone to talk to or hug up to or even pass DS of to when i need a little brake but DS and i are our own little family just a little smaller than most. however we dont have to put up with the lies and fights that alot of ppl have, ppl are not happy 100% no matter how happy they look.. :hugs: to all the great single mum's :hugs:

pleez dont be sad girls.... enjoy your freedom, & the fact you dont have to try & get anyone to understand you...

im sitting here almost at my last tether because of relationship issues...

i have a great partner in others' eyes/standards, but the standards that are important to me, just dont get met...

i really do feel for you all, but at the same time i wish i was already in that situation so i didnt have to figure out how im going to change this scenario when i have no family & absolutely no financials to give me options...

btw,
my point of my message was meant to be, dont be naive about happy snaps, they snap a second of a day... & the next second can snap very differently... they call them happy snaps for a reason... it wouldnt be nice if we all took snaps of our traumatic/devastating moments...

I feel envious sometimes of other peoples relationships. But then like indigoinOz says not all relationships are hunky dory.
I think its the fact that I sometimes feel so lonely and would love to just have someone to snuggle up to, and to share things with.
But then I'm kinda starting to think a bit like babyboo in that I am starting to discover myself again and learning to do things on my own.
Maybe we all will meet a guy in the future (I'm not holding my breath lol) but I'm not really looking right now cos I don't think I'm ready. I still have a lot I need to do on my own.

Yep very jealous :yes: I want my daughter to grow up with a happy mummy and a happy daddy with her in her happy home and i envy people who can give that to their children. If only we could get everything we want.... :rolleyes:

But i don't feel guilty about her dad not being with me. You can't predict what is going to happen, so we can't feel guilty about things like this... they really are out of our control :hugs:
