I am a single father of two sons who live with me. I love them and try to provide the best for them in life.
We are Christian and all that and attend church when we can; altho they go with their mom on weekends.
Lately i have become incredibly depressed by everything going on. I was mostly unaffected by Covid, I have prepped a large stash of stuff just in case, and for the most part my life isnt too objectively bad.
Dating has been hard and i am beginning to despair of ever finding a partner in this area and with the morass of online dating sites being the suckholes that they are.
Ironically being depressed and trying to date isnt the best combo so im just spiraling down on the regular.
I have prayed to God to send me someone who he intends for me, but thus far no luck.
I feel like theres nothing left for me in life. Nothing i want or need. I am hanging in there for my sons and my parents but you can only live for someone else for so long, and i feel my time is growing short.
Any advice to cheer me up? At 43 i have too far left to walk to do it alone but feel as though ive walked too far already to make finding someone a possibility.
And with all the vaxxing im not keen on meeting someone whos going to randomly sudden death on me, so im there at the viewing saying "im just thankful for the 6 great months we had together."
Ive lived and worked with pain and i just dont want any more, and God knows what ive been through...
God knows what we've all been through but that don't mean we should give up, should we? First of all stop trying so hard in trying to find someone and if it happens, it will happen. :)
But now if you're an animal person how about adopting a puppy or some other kind of pet? I adopted a pup last year from a local produce farm/ best choice I've made!

I do have a dog I adopted, my sons want another but I am not at all sure. Thanks!
I was thinking of getting two dogs last year but thank God I didn't like WOW... This little guy of mine is a hand full but I love him. He is my reason for getting up in the morning.
I am think your dog needs you as much as your sons need you. Live one day at a time....
Thanks yeah I have just never been a multiple dog person. Multiple cats, yeah ok, but with this dog having a strong prey drive it's bad enough that there are two barn cats to chase , nevermind one IN the house
Find something that works for you and grab onto... Get involved in something that really matters to you and make a difference of some sort? Maybe you might meet someone worth spending time with who knows.
