Hi all. 36M here. I'm a single dad worth my kids half of my time. My family lives abroad so I'm completely alone where I live apart from having my kids half of my time. I had some relationships after my kids mum but I'm a bit traumatised by women at this point. My kids mum cheated on me and my ex had me arrested and I almost got a criminal record for a false allegation. I know that I need to work on this but at this point in my life I want to continue alone because I don't trust any woman. I feel they could ruin my life even more and my thought process is that being alone is a safer option for me. I feel happy when I'm with my kids however when I'm not with them I am completely alone. I work from home which also doesn't help.

I never had problems making friends or being on romantic relationships. In the past I felt that having a partner is what makes me feel complete but I'm at a point in my life that I've kinda embraced loneliness and peace. I have my kids and a successful career. It's true that I haven't got anymore people to share nice moments on a daily basis but for the first time in my life this feels okay. I have started doing things by myself like hiking, gym or even going for a drive at random times in the day.

I hope this is just me at peace with this and not some depressive state of withdrawal. What do you think? Anyone else in a similar state of mind at this age.

Hi all. I had my offer accepted for a house two weeks ago and this week I put my mortgage application with NatWest. Now the issue is that I found a much better house for the same price around the same area.

I will view this house next week. What will happen with my mortgage application which is a very early stage if I decide to withdraw the offer from the first house (this house is in my mortgage application) and decide to go with the other one?
