EVERY significant man in my life has abused me in some way. Despite this, I still held out hope that I might actually meet a decent guy one day.
I found out something today about a guy I've been seeing and it is like the last straw, it has broken me. I think I've lost any kind of hope.
As far as I can see, men lie and cheat. They manipulate you, will say anything to sleep with you. They are only interested in sex. They don't care if you are intelligent or funny, you are just the sum of your body parts. They will beat you and rape you and emotionally abuse you so badly that you don't know which way is up. They want you so beaten down that you accept and are GRATEFUL for any tiny scraps of affection or kindness, however rare. They don't want a partner, they want a slave to beat and abuse.
I have no self esteem left and I finally give up on trying to find a "good one". I don't think they exist anymore.

I am so completely broken by men, can't take any more.
