Do you thing you're more damaged than Hitler was? Guys who've committed terrible murders and been put in prison for life end up getting married to women who come to visit them. It's actually pretty amazing how nutty you can be and still have someone fall in love with you. It happens all the time. Just don't overly rely on the Internet to provide you with possibke suiters. Get off the desktop or the tablet or the smart phone, and get out there in the real world. I see so many threads here about people all upset over on-line romances that went in a bad direction. These are the fakest relationships in the world.

And yes, this guy is going from woman to woman, always attracted to someone new who hasn't caught on to how screwed up he is. This supposed marriage he has coming up in a year may very well never happen.

This guy's life has so many turns and twists to it that it is like a soap opera - one that you have gotten addicted to watching. You want to see what happens in the next episode. Find a healthier hobby for yourself. You won't learn how to live your life to the fullest, while you are sitting around being an audience to the drama of his life. Plus, what he tells you is happening is his doctored up version and not the truth.

If you have the ability to care - and clearly you do - then you are capable of being in a relationship. You are not going to be everyone's cup of tea. Not everyone will be yours. That doesn't mean there is something horribly wrong with you or them. Just keep taking an interest in people. Someone out there needs you just as bad as you need someone. Finding them is the challenge. Keep looking.

Compatibility is an issue no matter what....& if just saying "I love you" meant a successful marriage there wouldn't be the number of divorces either.

All too often people brush off the incompatibility...you even said he treated you badly but you were so desperate to have someone care that it didn't matter....until its something you have agreed in marriage to live with the rest of your life.

You need to be wise in who you want to commit to, not desperate if you truly want to find that special person in your life or you will settle for less & end up unhappy in the long run. Love grows in relationships & it grows with compatibility & common interests & most of all a RESPECT for each other. It's not something you can force to happen

Thank you both so much, your comments are so encouraging and thought provoking and that's exactly what I needed right now.

This forum has helped me immensely, when I feel that I can't talk to my friends and family, as I'm frightened of driving them away (going over the same thing) it's been a real saviour.

I have been doing a lot of research on books to read to help with moving on and learning to love yourself a bit more.

Thank you all so much again for taking the time to post and give me your opinions.
