Life after divorce
To sum everything up as short as possible, my STBXH moved out January of 2025. We had been living as roommates for years, probably close to 10 years for the sake of our child, with no intimacy. We both decided if we wanted a partner we would then move out and deal with everything at that time. In hindsight I know that wasn’t the best move, but it worked in the moment and my child was happy which was my main concern. Anyway, I found out he had been dating someone for close to a year and there is other stuff that he did (way too much to type out) that disrespected myself and my daughter, so I asked him to move out the same night. He did and it’s been just us.
We’re still going through the divorce process but it’s been incredibly lonely and I’d love to connect with someone but I’m not sure where to start. I read the horror stories about dating sites and it scares me as a plus size woman. I’m also working out to lose weight for myself and to be healthy overall. If I’m being honest I’m totally fine with a casual hookup as well. Or even someone to chat with.
I turned 40 this year and my daughter turned 18 so I have way more free time than I’m used to. My dog loves my free time at home but I’d like to go out more and have some intimacy. Any advice?
