I have to be nuts thinking this!

Don't give up. The right guy will come for you. I'm sure you heard this a million times already. But I believe that there is someone out there for you, someone perfect for you despite his imperfections. Don't get so burned out from love. The wrong guys came into our lives to give us lessons so that we will be a lot wiser when the right one comes along.

Just wondering if you hold your female friends to the same impossible standard?

I think you are better off being alone too. I never did want to be alone in my life either. I will not go through the game plays of men anymoire either though. If something happens to my husband, I will be alone and date and be very cautious. I usually attract the users and abusers and losers also.

Wow...that is pretty negative and bitter. I can see why you should be alone. I've been thru 2 divorces....abusive marriages really and raised the kids on my own without hardly any help...oh my..I should be bitter. I should base all men on the experiences I had with 2 really bad men. right? Instead I chose to look at myself and why it was that I was attracted to these men. I've been reading your posts because of one that was particularly bitter towards men. It is clear that you have a huge problem with men. I am not in any way trying to insult you but I do think you need some therapy to help you understand why you feel as you do. It isn't right. Not all men are bad. I am a woman. I choose to be single because I like being single. Still...no bitterness to men. I date and I get into long term relationships. It is not fair to you or them to group all men into one catagory...PIG.

I am married for the second time.The first husband i had my two daughters with and that is the only good thing about that marriage.This husband i have been married to for over 13 years now and yes we have arguments as well as people stirring thing up between us.I have four boys with this husband,we have had a lot of problems and yes i nearly ended the marriage twice.I look at it like if we were to split up i could cope as i can do all the things that he should be doing now.If we had split up then i would be like you as in once bitten twice shy.

i think this too!i found only a...holes in time.the last one is married and he doesn't know what he wants.he doesn't like to live alone,so he's scared to leave home.the problem is he has a daughter,and that makes it harder.i think is better alone,really,at least for a while!maybe there is a guy for each one of us out there!and we should be more carreful when we pick someone
