I’ve been single for a year now after a disastrous long distance relationship (he just wanted sex and said I would never be a priority for him) after 6 months I realised he wasn’t a keeper and I deserved better so I dumped him :)
A year previous to that I had a very long relationship of 18 years so I have never been on the singles scene much.
I’m in my forties now but look ten years younger (lucky me) but this just means young men in their twenties and old men over 50s (by old I mean it’s like most men this age are already slowing down and they are so boring!) so I just can’t seem to meet anyone suitable I have tried all the online dating sites and tbh the men on them are a massive disappointment plenty of quantity but little quality!
So...I decided on a whim to stop looking for a relationship and find a friend (with benefits) instead, i states clearly what I was looking for and why and what sort of man I was looking for etc (I need some intimacy but don’t want ONSs)...so now they are all filling my inbox faster than I can reply and a lot of them (most of them) are married and do not hide the fact they are....I’m actually quite surprised how many married men I recognise on Tinder and their wives / GFs have no clue the men are shagging around!
Seriously so many men are taken and yet clearly still looking for it elsewhere...it got me thinking are we all cheaters really sooner or later?
How many of you are reading this now thinking that doesn’t apply to me but you don’t know yours is playing away from home!
Do you ever check up on him?
Check his phone? Receipts / pockets?
Honestly I think some of you are in denial if your man is t getting much from you he’s probably getting it elsewhere!
