France: Woman shares journey of independence and single motherhood

Alexandra, a 47-year-old woman from Burgundy, has focused on building an independent life following her separation in 2006. She has prioritized her son and her professional development over seeking romantic relationships.

Her lifestyle includes a recent career shift to becoming an ambulance driver, a role with unpredictable hours that she notes would be difficult to manage within a traditional couple dynamic. She has also expressed interest in becoming a volunteer firefighter.

Her personal experience reflects broader demographic trends in France. According to Insee, nearly 30% of women aged 45 to 49 in the country do not live in a couple.
