“Just remember that it's not your responsibility to fix a broken man. It's not worth your time, your effort, your love or your tears.

Not all men are broken, but you have to believe you deserve better. Expect better and you'll receive better, it's that simple.”

The emboldened part is the part that I would like to draw attention to. I have heard both men and women cry, "I deserve better!" while ignoring the fact that like attracts like. Simply believing that I deserve a princess will not get me a princess. If that is my hearts desire, than becoming - or at least behaving like a prince, will improve my chances.
So often on here, a member will list all their partners faults which is quickly followed by everyone telling them how they deserve better - but, at least for me, I can't tell if they deserve better hearing only one side. For instance, does everyone deserve someone who won't cheat on them? How about a serial cheater? Does he or she deserve someone who won't cheat on them?
Anyway, if I keep attracting the same type of people, then it probably says more about me than it does about them. This is not meant to be catty - I know you can't hear tone of voice, but I'm hopeful you'll find something helpful in this post.
