I know this may be hard to believe, but there is still lots of time to find a partner,and to work things out a bit more with your therapist.
I'm in my mid40s and have friends my own age who only finally got into a relationship in the last few years (one has gone on to have the whole thing: 2 kids, house etc).And also to say that I expected to have that package too, but it just never happened. But its not the end of the world living alone- a lot depends on having friends and being comfortable with yourself.
I would have been *appalled* if I had known when I was your age that I wouldnt end up with a partner and family. But its not a big problem.
Stick in there with the therapist. But also dont be too hard on yourself- with relationships, unlike anything else, it really does take 2 people. And that's not entirely in your control.
Allow yourself a bit of hope and be kinder to yourself? Take care.
