I have been in love a few times, with the wrong kind of person for me. I didn't take the time to see if they where even right or not at all I just wanted to be with someone so badly to say that somebody truly did love me forever and so I wouldn't be scared to be single and alone again. Well, today I have to tell people all the time why I just love being single and not with a man so very much the tables have turned around. The guys I went with were always broke and drunk and mean all the time to me. None had jobs or goals at all, or even any real hobby's or interests we shared in common at all. They just thought about different ways to earn money for there smoking and drinking habits even some drugs at times that I wouldn't do with them for my own spiritual and body respecting views. I am very lucky to say I have never been arrested even though I personally have always been law abiding others I have been around absolutely were not. My Mother and siblings loved and cared for me enough to want me back home again even though I had let them down so much. I am trying my hardest now to remain alcohol free I no longer smoke and take care of and respect myself more. Men shouldn't always come first, they should want for you to be happy and have nice hobbies and interests of your own as well too. Plus, they should want to work and earn money to care for you both if they are a real man of any kind. Then know that what ever bits of money I can earn is for my needs and I would pass to him at times too. Men usually earn more than woman so I see this as a very practical way to go about the whole money situations. If you begin to earn much more then of course you could help out more too. This seems an easy way to me to end many a fight on money. Think of it as a pay as you go plan, any man in my future would just have to except this as a fact in our lives and love me for who I am as a person and not what money I can offer as I am sure I would him too if he was a giving kind hearted soul. I just have had too much of the other kind, I need to find a person more like myself to be happy at all this I now know. One who cares to have a roof over there head and a bed to sleep in each night and healthy food to eat. Plus, wants to save money at times instead of just spending it all more responsible and stable but still at least a few times a year not shy or nervous about going on a nice relaxing vacation to Hawaii or someplace warm and nice. To blow away stess from everyday worries and work. This, is what I dream of more today having in a partner in life before I just never gave it any thought at all which as you can see from my checkered past was a very bad idea and dangerous too of me. So yes, I do know what being in love feels like, but staying there no I do not or even having the sense I would stay there at all. So my love has been very bitter sweet I just remain too hopeful still though. Thanks,A.B.

everyone had their own sad love story, and I understand how you feel because I've been there. They always say and advice is just move on and just go on with your life, which is true but of course it hard at first to do for someone who got hurt so much and easy for others to say because they're not in your situation. But always remember when someone left you it means there's also someone coming your way to replace that person who left you, and that person you will meet is better than the one you had before.

Hi, angelgie05 Thanks angelgie05, and architecturaxperimen. I have been told this a few times now and believe me I can't wait to meet him too. LOL, but I am beginning to believe this more since it does seem each time I do get wiser on my choices too and now know more what I want from life and how I expect a person to treat me too. Thanks,A.B.

Hi, ebuscat I am not very religous I am much more spiritual person. I do believe in a higher power I just have some my reservations. I do know that angels are with me and sometimes other spirits too. They have protected me in the past and I know I do have a purpose for being here and it must be important too from all I have been through to still be here. Thanks,A.B.

Everyone make mistakes and sometimes we made a lot when we are inlove. I'm just glad that you came to your senses before something bad happen to you. I can see that you are a mature person and your partner should be on the same direction as you. Better to be single than to have someone who could endanger your life. Just don't rush and the right love will come to you at the right place and time. Goodluck and I know someday you will be truly happy.

So I finally read all of one post today. Ha ha. Your post sort of makes me happy and sad.
Happy because as you say a man should be independent and should respect money and his girl. That is what I am aiming at. I am trying my best to earn before I get into a relationship so I can atleast gift my girl something. I want to be independent on my own terms like pay for my clothes, phone bills etc (And if possible my girl's also). Also I respect my body so I do not drink, smoke. Also I hate the fact of the girl spending for stuff, call it male ego. I just recently tried hookah but hated it and will never do it.
Now it somehow makes me sad. I do not have many hobbies. Does that mean I am not good enough?
Also I'm sorry for what happened. You should never tell a guy your financial status. Even more so if the guy has drinking and smoking habits so the guy will want your money even more.

Hi, boyuancy Thanks, you sound like a great person to me and I am sure you are on the right path right now too I always regret telling a guy what I make I don't even trust my own Dad now too because of this. I believe that most men want to support there lady and make her happy but the tough times show you too if you are made to last or not. Every time things got too tough that's when I get pushed away more or told I am not doing more share enough too. I try not to compare every man to my past since most likely you are a big improvement just by trying every day and just being kind and patient as possible too with your lady. No, hobbies are not a requirement but paying a little attention to hers is very nice to do and we do like it allot. Thanks,A.B.

Don't worry you will surely find the right person for you. When that time comes, don't have any reservation, give it your all. I myself is just waiting to be noticed by someone I love. I hope the two of us will have a happy love life someday.
