I have been single now for about 5 years after a 4yr relationship. I am divorced over 10yrs with a teenager. I've had a few dating stints 6mos or less and i had ruled out having another child years ago and now I'm too old... I am realizing that I may have shut the door on finding the right person because I shut the door on kids.
I told myself that I didn't want kids because I had a difficult experience and had to do it alone. I only saw the negatives that having a child would add to the relationship instead of the positives of giving myself another chance with the "right person". It's not like I am considering dating someone who wants kids now (I just briefly dated and let go of an awesome man that Does want kids and maybe that's why I'm feeling a crisis) but it made me think, I passed on a lot of great men out there and the chance at another child and family.
Thoughts?
