[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how do you suggest women break out of that circle?

I guess I'm kinda like your friend, minus living with guys and the STD's, outside of two short relationships, I've been single my whole adult life (I'm 31). 
I don't think I know how to have a normal healthy relationship because I was never in one (broke up with my last bf after 4 months because he didn't treat me very nice) and my parents had a terrible relationship.

I tried therapy but that did nothing to help matters.

I think people are quick to judge but not everyone is as lucky to be taught what a real healthy relationship should be like and how to find one and be in one. [/quote]

OP here, first, don't look for perfection. That will make you keep looking forever. Start with a set of good acceptable characteristics and go from there. Remember that you are not perfect. Throw out the men who carry the deal breakers. Work with the ones who are reasonable. At your age, try not to date only one man at a time. I am NOT suggesting sex with them, I am suggesting DATES. Having more than one friend will help you relax and feel less desperate. You might have flaws but a good man will see that you are working on them and appreciate that. 
I got married late, and noticed success when I told the men I DATED straight up that I wanted marriage. I also had a rule that I shared with them: I would never have sex with a man I would not marry. [/quote]
