‘What sex in my 40s as a divorced mum has taught me about happiness’
Author and wellbeing guru Sarah Anne Miller, found herself in her 40s facing the prospect of navigating the dating scene as a divorced single mum. With just her two little girls to care for, chronic illnesses, and financial challenges, she was determined to escape the dark hole that she had found herself in.
I say I would “have” to have sex. No one had a gun to my head but it is a natural part of a relationship and I wanted to have a relationship post-divorce. I wasn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. All the above were enough to put me off having sex with anyone ever again. It would be much easier to get a load of cats in and just accept my fate but I am not one to be beaten and I have only got one cat so far.
Back in the good old days I was care-less but I was also careless. Now I care more. I care about feeling good. I care about the pleasure that I experience from sex. I take responsibility for the part that I play and I actively enjoy it. Because I worked so hard to get through that mental barrier the reward is so much sweeter and I savour it. For the first time in my life, I genuinely take pleasure in my body whereas before, sex would just have been a necessary evil.
