(6sense.org.au is a relationship service for singles)
I always had a hunch since graduating that I would build a career, meet my partner, have money in the bank, a mortgage and kids at school, and well, this happened but what I didn't factor in was that my partner would be unfaithful- such an old fashioned word for something that is so contemporary and prevalent it seems, in today's society. Nevertheless, single, almost broke with teens finishing school, not a scrap of chance of buying another home in Sydney's market and I'm struggling to keep the past dream alive. If this sounds stressful it sure is. Or was..
Not having much support with managing children, a home and a career, I sought help from the relationship specialist, Angela, at monavalepsychotherapy.com. Now I am in charge again of my own destiny with really different, new goals and ideas. Life is so damn good! I feel accomplished in my own life again. Even excited about my future instead of dreading it.
So it was with my new found confidence I started the online dating thing ...but the excitement wore away after meeting lovely men only to find we're seriously different pages.
Before completely giving up forever, I took this sense of defeat to my therapist and we talked about a different approach, because through all of this: I am now serious about meeting my next intimate partner.
So here I am! At 6sense.org.au I completed a range of scientific questionnaires to gain more insight about how I relate to others and it's help me understand & reconcile my old pain and triggers and know more about my responses to others.
I am now part of a growing community of mid-life singles that are enjoying one another's company and well, who knows? I might just be in love again!
