Is there any decent men out there that are not sex addicts, drug abusers, gambling addicts,etc etc etc. The older I get the more dissapointed I become with getting married, having children and spending my life with one person… I’m so pessimistic about life and I hate being this way. I was never like this before. Has anyone been here and gotten out of this rut?
Yes, I have! I was divorced a long, long time and survived many broken relationships along the way. I know exactly what you’re talking about. It seemed all the men were like that! I had read a book by Dr. Barbara DeAngeles that helped me get out of the dating rut and find a decent man. It turns out it wasn’t that all the men were wrong, I was in a pattern of dating the same type of man.
Here’s the link to the book on Amazon. You may be able to get it on Half.com or a local used bookstore as well.

After realizing my problem, I placed a personals ad on Yahoo.com and dated outside the box. It was then when I met a wonderful, caring and stable man. We were married just short of two years later. That was over 4 years ago, and we’re both very happy in our marriage. Believe me - I never even dreamed I’d marry again!! Good luck…
I know what you mean. I’m 43 and still haven’t found the right person. Meanwhile I “settle for the lesser of two evil” Hang in there.
