At the ripe old age of the latter part of 40, I am simply exhausted with being married to and dating men who lie, cheat, abuse and who have basically no clue about what a relationship really entails. I'm not sure what planet they live on, but I live in reality and i am aware that problems arise and as adults we deal with them, not flee, dump, ghost etc etc. I honestly feel like I am dating kids half the time. Sulking, tantrums, the silent treatment... it's tiresome.
Am I being unreasonable/unrealistic to would love a man who
- Says what he means.
- Doesn't lie.
- Doesn't string me along for years and years.
- Doesn't cheat.
- When he says he loves me, actually means it.
- Supportive, understanding, caring, thoughtful.
- Doesn't dump, ghost, go silent when things get rocky...
- Doesn't have a porn addiction (occasional use fine, addiction, not so much.)
- Includes me in their life.
10. Wants to spend time with me...
11. Isn't abusive/narcissistic/gaslights and blames me for everything and more.
All these things are things I would/wouldn't do...there's nothing there that I feel is OTT or asking too much?
