So this probably won't make me Miss popular but I've had three very long term relationships two of them marriages. I've started off all of them with my own home, great job and debt free whilst all three of them have brought nothing to the table. 1st husband I paid the mortgage and bills, boyfriend, I paid the mortgage and bills, second husband I paid the mortgage and bills.
I kind of thought any guy with a teeny bit of self respect would then contribute and pull their weight but sadly this didn't happen and I ended up doing and paying for everything while the other half did fuck all. And funny how after decades of doing fuck all wanted a chunk of money at the end to go away (they didn't get any).
I'm now single again and I'm thinking no man is setting foot over my threshold ever again unless he has a house of his own, a great job and a pension. I'm not even looking at someone if they don't have those things.
If I can be a single mum and bring up my children on my own AND work full time and buy my own home then why the hell can't a potential partner do the same.
The world is full of spongers and no hopers, I haven't met a single man yet who is worth a light and I've always put 100% into my relationships.
I decided I absolutely will not go out with anyone who doesn't meet my cruteria ever again, I'd rather stay single for the rest of my days and leave what I have to my kids.
Does anyone else feel the same way?
