I am 26 year old male. I have been divorced from my ex for 3 years now. We have a daughter together and I have full custody of her. A lot of back story on that.

But my question is, ever since I got divorced, I am afraid to get into another serious relationship. I don't wanna be like 30 and divorced twice. My ex got married 6 months after we divorced and she has a very toxic relationship with her husband. So I have had 1 girlfriend since I've been divorced and the girl I'm with is great but we have broken up like 3 times and we get back together after like 5-8 months. So we broke up recently and I am just thinking maybe I am supposed to be single my whole life. I mean being single is good because you don't need to worry about someone lying, cheating, taking your money, etc. My ex and I had a horrible relationship towards the end. She is very mean spirited.

Is it normal to think and feel like you know in your heart that your gonna be single for the rest of my life?

    It takes TWO to end a marriage.

    The woman you've been dating, is not the last woman on earth.

    You SURE deserve another chance.

    Being 30 and divorced twice is far better than being lonely for the rest of your life.

    Once you find a good woman, try living with her for a year or two before you decide to marry her.

    At 26 I highly doubt that you know you'll be single for the rest of your life. Things can happen in seconds sometimes that can a persons whole world. I think it's almost impossible to know that at this age. You're still young and you sound like a responsible 26 year old so I'm sure when the time comes you will find a good woman. One that's good for you and you're completely in love with and know you can't live with out and one who is also good for your daughter as well. Don't give up but I wouldn't focus on looking for it it'll find you. Not to mention I'm sure your daughter takes up all of your most important time :) and your focus is on her, right where it should be. Best wishes
