Hey Archie,

Nice intro mate. Believe it or not, your description fits more or less mine..! I was there too marriage, mortgages, 3 gorgeous kids, little experience in dating. I split up with the ex two years ago, divorced a year ago and had 4 short term relationships since.

Been in the community beginning of the year after yet another failed relationship and started questioning myself and thingking what went wrong or what was wrong with me. I am still learning, still building my confidence and slowly getting there.

I am from Manchester. There is a big crowd from Manchester in this forum and we go out regularly sarging. Now if you fancy a trip up north to the land of Happy Mondays, Take That, Oasis, Theatre of Dreams (altho I hate them, ) you are more than welcome, there's always a spare room available. You will love it hanging out with us. There is a wide age range as well...!

Anyway, welcome and good luck in your journey.
