to want a man, any man even an abusive one?

[comeandsortmeout]

I'm so sick of being alone and I can't cope with it any more. I want a partner, I don't care how he treats me; it's got to be better than life like this.

Being alone can be the pits OP.

For some reason it is often taboo to say so.

just wanted to add these - hope you're ok xx

OP you'd be better reporting your first post and asking MNHQ to edit the title. Your feelings are just as important as anyone else's and you clearly need some support

being alone can be great. I love being alone. I don't want a partner ever.

Have you had an abusive partner before? Are you longing for some abusive ex? If not your post has offended me and countless other women and tbh you should have this post taken down.

What is it that you want a man for? Companionship? Sex? Someone to share your hobbies with?

It might be easier to meet someone if you can pinpoint what it is that you are missing in your life. So if companionship, start with finding some new friends who you can have coffee with a couple of times a week and build up your self esteem.

I think people can often underestimate how crippling loneliness can be and how much of society is built up around the assumption you are in a partnership.

@cunningstuntt yes I was in an abusive relationship and no I'm not missing him. It's all I'm good for though.

Hi there OP. Firstly for you. Sorry to hear you're feeling so low although you've had some great advice from other posters on here.

We hope you don't mind us posting a link to our Domestic Violence Support page which may provide useful reading for you. Someone mentioned having your thread taken down. We wouldn't want to do that without hearing from you directly so do please get in touch with us at MNHQ if you'd like us to help out with something.

Take care.
