my father is not around and have no brothers. My mum is really painfully shy and doesnt want to do it. Can i ask my father in law to be?

Getting married soon and trying to find the perfect song. Please help!

i’m a 34 year old doctor. 2 years ago,i left my (emotionally/verbally/physically) abusive husband.we didnt have any children. it was a difficult decision but i managed it as i had alot of family support. my ex husband was very bitter that i had left him and ended up taking me to court for finances, this is why the divorce has taken this long, because he woulnt give up and took me all the way to final hearing. i found it to be a really stressful time, mainly just before the final hearing. the thing is, i always thought that once this final hearing was over, i would feel so happy and elated and finally get on with my life. unfortunately, im finding this period really hard. it all finished around a month ago. i’m from a british asian family and every time i go to weddings, the older generation just keep saying to me how hard it is for an indian woman to find another husband after divorce, where as for men it’s okay. this just makes me feel bad, and i know i should be stronger than that, seeing as ive fought my ex all the way to the end in court, and i was strong enough to leave him in the 1st place. to top it alloff, my family are now saying i should really think about getting married again as at the moment the community are suggesting men for me, whereas in a couple of years time, they’ll “all stop asking about me” as i’ll be too old. at this point in time, i feel all sorts of emotions that i never thought i would feel. im normally a happy positive bubbly person and people tell me that i am ‘stunning’ but i dont want to sound big headed. i go out every weekend , but i find that when i’m in bars, no one guys ask me out.i’m not sure why because its not like i stand there sulking, i try and smile all th time and hi try and have fun. im guessing that now the divorce is almost finalised, i’m having to face up to the fact that i am’divorced’ and i cant just hide behind the ‘i’m separated’ thing anymore. has anyone else experienced this and does it get easier? at this point in time, i feel like i’m getting old, i’m going to be past it soon, my biological clock is ticking, i feel lonely. it’s such a shame because i live in a lovely area and i should be having fun. thanks for reading this essay! xx
