I agree with Trish, partner or no partner babies can be clingy - I remember my brother being pretty bad for it and to this day I still call him mummies boy - which he is to some extent, he's 30 in a couple of weeks

As for staying single, I went through a pretty messy divorce that cured me of men for quite a long time. I spent 5 years on my own, finding myself again and wouldn't change that for the world. There were times it was hard and I'd be the only single one of my friends and would think having a partner would be nice but am happy with the choice I made. I have now since remarried and he's the exact opposite of what I would have ever "gone for" before and I'm happier than I've been in years.

in the meantime just enjoy being you, enjoy being a mum & enjoy your little girl, if and when you are ready again you'll know and I'm sure everything will fall into place
