Reply To: Prolonging the inevitable

You need to be able to be own your own and happy on your own before you look to settle down, I think from what you have described you are not happy, your 9 year old daughter will notice that, if it’s not worth saving I would break it off and as hard as it will be, put all your energy in to your daughter and yourself, take time to look after yourself, self care, self love and exercise, spend time with your daughter, work through your insecurities on your own and you will build yourself up and meet someone because you want to, not because you need to. You are not a failure for putting you and your child’s needs and happiness first
