I am so sick of hearing "how are you still single?"! I know it's meant as a compliment, but it is the farthest thing from it! I have been single for over a year and a half now, after being alone in an unhealthy marriage for 8 years. I am so tired of being alone! And I'm starting to feel so hopeless. It feels like I'm never going to meet anyone, and even when I finally do it only lasts a few weeks at most. I know that I'm an anxious attachment type but I don't come across as desperate or insecure. It feels like all the good attributes aren't outweighing the negative. I'm not sure if the fact that I'm a single mom so I only have a couple free days a week for dating when my ex has the kids is just too much for most guys. Or that they don't want what they consider "baggage" because my kids and I are a packaged deal. Even though I don't see them as baggage because they are the best things that ever happened to me, a lot of guys don't see it that way. I'm also 5'10" so unless I want to lift the guy up at the end of the night to kids him, my dating prospects are limited. Why is it so difficult to find a decent guy? Out of all the guys in this huge city I can't even find one??? That's all I ask for is one! So what gives? There are miserable people who treat their significant other like crap so why don't I deserve someone? I'm a good person who has a lot going for me. It's not like I'm some desperate, lazy ditz, living on welfare and partying every night. So why not me?
