[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Divorced at 33, currently 35, female. Like PPs have said, I just don’t find men all that impressive. Immature and self-absorbed, don’t take anyone else into consideration. It’s frustrating because I know good men do exist - my father was 100% family-oriented and always put his family first - but they are difficult to find. Even more unimpressed now that I’m mostly dating divorced men with kids, blows my mind how uninvolved they are as parents.

Happier now that it’s just my kids and me. Things are so much calmer and things run more smoothly. I do miss companionship, but it’s just not worth the hassle at this point.[/quote]

On behalf of the man who dodged a bullet by not being married to an awful person like you, I thank you for your decision.[/quote]

XH, is that you??

Funny thing is, my problem is that I was far too accommodating and tolerated poor behavior from men. I was happy to cook all meals, happy to clean (even for just boyfriends), I loved caring for people. When men complained over the most benign things, or even outright abused me, I would always change for them. I love sex and would gladly have it daily. I always tried to be the “cool girlfriend/wife” who was fine with their man going out for guys night or hanging out with ex-girlfriends, even though it almost always led to infidelity. And I was always let down, either because they cheated, or they promised marriage and never followed through, or they bailed as soon as someone “better” came along.

Once I figured out my own worth, I realized most of these men don’t deserve me, and I needed to stop being such a doormat and enforce boundaries. I’m still kind, but I have much higher standards that most men don’t meet. [/quote]

Wow this speaks to me so much. I am 39 and considering divorce. [/quote]
