My wish for you RDMercer is for you to really understand your own value. But, not in a narcissistic way, instead to know you are a good man that doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Unfortunately, good people tend to be the ones that get hurt and taken advantage of and often partner up with someone who doesn’t genuinely appreciate them.

Narcissistic people sew seeds of doubt so they can control you/others. They pair up for selfish reasons and no one can really ever fill their void.
