On one hand I hear:
almost no one wants to be in a serious relationship with a woman who has young kids
On the other hand:
If you aim for a casual relationship then you’re labeling yourself as someone no one wants to take seriously and you probably have emotional issues
So… according to this logic my options are to be alone for the rest of my life or relegate myself to either sex work or very promiscuous casual dating, or…. I have no idea?
Because I had kids with a guy who turned out to be a nightmare as a dad, it’s game over?
