Hi Purplemelon44,

I just joined this forum, and came to your post. Just wanted to say that I feel your pain, and you are not alone. Three months ago, I separated from my partner of 9 years. I am 35, and wanted badly to start a family and have a child with him. We grew apart slowly over the last years, despite counselling, despite all efforts. It is a mutual decision, but it is still so heartbreaking. We both have lived expat lives in foreign countries and gone through situations where we had only each other.

I am sure if you want a child you will be able to have one. You are still young, and there are many ways to be a mother. I am still hoping to be one. I have so much to offer a child, I am sure you have too.

For now, let’s heal our hearts first 😊
