I'm a 39 year old female (turning 40 in a few weeks.. OUCH) and have never had a decent relationship with a man. I've always been heavy and so the few guys I have dated in the past were manipulative, controlling, and abusive. They think they can do whatever they want to the "fat chick" because she's so desperate for a man she'll do anything. I've put up with some of the worst emotional abuse you could imagine, been in financial trouble by spending tons of money on expensive things and charging up credit cards, treated like a slave, etc. I get physically sick when I think about some of the things my exes have done to me. (and the stupid things I've done for them!)

Five years ago I thought I met "the one"... Things were great at first but then quickly went downhill... Again, another loser looking for a mother to take care of him, feed him, do his laundry, pay all the bills, take care of the mortgage, etc. He just laid around all day, slept, and made messes in the house. The sex completely stopped after the first year we were together. I was his sugar mama and gave him everything he wanted, but we had no relationship... we were like roommates. He worked nights, I worked days. He spent every free moment in his own bedroom (yeah we had separate bedrooms) playing video games. We had a great front going because our families thought everything was great.. they were shocked when we broke up. I can't believe I put up with it for that long... but I was just scared of being alone.

Now I'm single and I honestly don't care if I ever meet another man. I have no desire to put up with the BS in a relationship and I will NEVER trust another man ever again. I work hard, have a great career, nice house, and 2 dogs I adore. I'm not putting any of that in jeopardy for some manpig to come and take it all away.
