Im 25 and single, should i be worried???

Question

i ended my 6 year relationship 8 months ago. my ex was contolling, sometimes violent and had bad gambling problems.

will i ever find love again???

Answer 1

Yes you will find love. Enjoy your life now. You are young and love will find you when you least expect it. Consider your pat relationship a learning experience.

Answer 2

Dont stress. Seems a little to me like you need at bit of space after that clown you were with, no one ever has the right to behave like that towards anyone. Find you feet again and who you are you will meet someone on the way and be a better person for it! In terms of being 25 and single I wouldnt worry about that I am 29 and single, mainly cos I chose to be after a similar situation in some ways. I gave my self breathing space and rebuilt my life....! Just be happy in you and love will come along in the strangest places.

Good look and well done for getting out of that abusive relationship many people just put up with it!

Answer 3

No way should you be worried about being single again. You really need time to recover from your abusive relationship. Recovery takes time, patients, and understanding from friends, relatives and you really should just spend time building up your self esteem and confidence again. Of course you will find love again, but you really should just concentrate on building up your own self worth first, when you are finally happy with yourself, you will be able to give 100% to a new relationship. You are only 25 and you have your whole life ahead of you. Dont make the mistake of jumping straight into a new relationship straight away, otherwise you are likely to make the same mistakes again.

Please give yourself time to heal and grow as a person in your own right. I can promise you will find a wonderful partner when the time is right. I have been in a similar situation myself in the past and being alone and happy was so much better than being in an unhappy relationship.

I wish you the best of luck, you deserve it.

Answer 4

No you should feel strong - you have learnt a hard lesson and come out the other end smiling. Enjoy this time and find out woh you are again after such a bad relationship.

I broke up with my husband when I was 26. I'm about to marry a wonderful man next week who I met when I was 28.

My grandfather met and married his second wife when he was 83!

Too old for love? Stuck on the shelf? No way - you are young and gorgeou - get out there and have some fun!

Answer 5

6 years is a long time but, it is better that you moved on then be married to someone who is violent and has gambling problems.
Take a little time for yourself, don't worry about getting married. It will happen. you need to start going out. I thought like you at your age, I was in a relationship for 10 years that ended. Men smell when a girl is looking to get married, they run. You are then considered desperate. When I meet my husband I was not interested in getting married I wanted to go out and have fun. He was the one who chased me and talked about marriage and a family. It will happen for you as well. Hang in there.

Answer 6

maybe, but ive got news for you, im 27 and single, and to be honest its great!
I got out of a 5 year relationship about 1 year ago and sure it was really hard the first little bit.. but then you hang out with your friends.. enjoy yourself.. you get to figure out again just who YOU are.. unless of coarse your the type that does the rebound relationship thing.. then i cant really offer any help there!
As for the real question "will i ever find love again???" You can never know, it could be right around the corner.. it could be right around the globe.. but the more you look for it the more it hides.. so stop looking and it will find you. :)

Answer 7

Dont worry yourself, you will find someone else, you are still very young. Lots of people meet the man of their dreams in their mid late twenties and thirties, there is no strict code.

I know how you must feel, when you come out of a long relationship and you have been in this since you were a tennager, it is difficult to go back to being single again and you almost feel like you have forgotten how to flirt or date, but you havent. Spend the time going out with your friends and have a lot of fun. Dont go out looking for a man, he will come along when you least expect it.

Good luck!!

Answer 8

Yes, and you will look back and be glad that you did what you did. Just take time off for yourself and enjoy the single life. Do a few things that you have never done before. You will find someone and hopefully you will be a little more aware of the person and that persons faults, so you don't fall into the same trap.

Answer 9

You're still YOUNG and will find love again*...the best thing you did was end your 6yr relationship with that loser*. Seems like your life would have gotten a whole lot worse with his controlling, violent nature and his bad gambling problems. Don't look back, just look forward* Don't think "oh my goodness I'm 25 and have no one to love.....Love will find you when you least expect it. You're worth it.! Remember that* KEep on Smilin*GoodlUck

Answer 10

in time u will but right now go out there and have fun your are still young and u shouldn't be in a hurry to find someone else. For now enjoy being single. Don't rush into anything u aren't ready for b/c in the end u might not like what happends. Good luck.

Answer 11

Statistically speaking YES. The survey's show that ppl who have loved once are twice as likely to find love again! And, in your favor, statistics prove that ppl who wait til after 30 to get married increase their chances of staying married to one antoher by (some polls say) as much as 60%! The polls suggest men waiting til they are b/w 30-35 before getting married and for women it's b/w 25-30. But those who wait to get married in their 30's are more likely to stay together! I would assume it's a maturity thing, not to mention "selling their wild oats in their 20's" leading them to take their commitment of marriage more seriously. Btw, we all have a tendency to pick the "same types" of dates so you may want to consider therapy before settling down with another loser. It will also help you with this issue of "finding new love". 6 years is a very long time to take a controlling, violent gambler...I would be inclined to strongly suggest the therapy. I wish you good luck in your future endeavers towards love! I really hope you don't find another loser. It took me 3 times to realize I keep falling for the "bad guy" types...lots of therapy helped put me back on track. Good luck!
