I am officially broken up with my boyfriend and single. I told my mom and also reinforced that I - Now that I’m single doesn’t mean I’m ready to date – even though she often pushes me to get right back on that horse
- I know I’m getting older and I’m not ready to have kids just yet (hence, the no dating thing)
- I need to figure out who I am without being defined by a man or a relationship
- Now that I’m single it doesn’t mean she can send me job postings for things closer to the family or house listings for me to move on their street. It’s funny, but it’s NOT when it’s you she is sending this stuff to! She’s so passive aggressive!
I feel like I should get right back on that horse, but a piece of me wants to do nothing and enjoy it. I want to not have to hang out with anyone. I want to be able to chill and not be obligated to call anyone just because I feel the need to. I don’t want to have the headache of stressing over feelings or wondering how someone feels for me. Relationships are exhausting and I need a vacation from it all.
So the question is, do I give myself a timeline, give that I DO want to have kids in the next 5 years or so? I’m 32 right now, and not getting any younger. Or, do I just go with my feelings and let them dictate where I go?
