I am a single parent of a teenage daughter. I have been divorced since 2019 and single since 2017. I restarted my career at the age of 40 when I separated. I moved with my 10 year old kiddo to a new city with new lifestyle. Life was tough but with proper support and determination, I could turn around my life. I am still work in progress and healing from what I went through. So, I want to open this forum for all single women who need support, love and a space of non-judgmental sharing. Let us build a community of understanding and togetherness. YOU ARE NOT ALONE ANYMORE(YANAA) Cheers, Sandhyaa S Pillai

It's okay to go and enjoy with your children especially when your partner doesn't have time. You don't have to restrict yourself just because your partner doesn't have time for you!

What age is the best to move in with your partner? Is 19 okay? I really wanna experience it-
If you are financially independent and can afford to live with him, then you can certainly move in!

Sarah, a 42-year-old marketing executive, recently divorced with two teenage kids, has been dating Tom, a 45-year-old software engineer who is also divorced, for eight months. Tom has asked Sarah to move in with him, and she is uncertain about the timing and implications of such a big step. How long should you date before moving in together in your 40s? Any advice?
In 40s, there's a lot of things that are sorted with us generally, profession, money, lifestyles..so it may get rigid with each other's space compatibility. Try to communicate with each other your needs and wants and compatibility along with lifestyle factors.

Hey. I have had a doubt for sometime now. I always saw my parents as not one. like fighting and all. it was very rare that they both are on the same page. I wanted to know if we live together before marriage can we avoid these kinds of misunderstandings or conflicts after marriage. So like Is living together before marriage a bad idea or an okay one?

Living together absolutely doesnt guarantee marriage's success
Living together doesn't guarantee the success of your marriage. Infact even when u live in you will face conflicts, misunderstandings, however it will help you both in understanding each other and make your bond stronger.
