are there actually any nice men out there then? (or am I asking too much)

[davidtennantsmistress]

... if so where are they? after all the stuff that's been on MN over the recent nights, not to mention DP and I having a mega barny tonight.

are there actually any nice ones out there, n if so are they single/where did you meet your DH's/P's?

all I want is the following on my list:

to feel loved & special to said person,
to feel like nothing else matters apart form us n the kids.

is it really too much to ask, to want the fairytale after a shitty few years being married. DP will prob ring me at some point tomorrow but after being asked consistently for the last week 'am I enough for you' I really don't think I have the energy for it anymore. n we had started off so well together as well - we're both tired, n prob need a break from each other already - but we talk every night for at least 2-3 hours +.

and yes i'm prob still in love with my XH - even if he has been a total tosser.

sorry dtm should have started own thread. Think I hijacked yours a little bit.

Despite everything I do believe there are nice men out there!!

no don't worry bout it.

have given up on it all now - am waiting for angel (forget the man's name!) to knock on me door - give it ooh a life time and he might!

They say when people are too hot, too soon, then they cool off just as quickly. Sorry if you are hurt, DTM - enjoy your singledom for the time being, and better luck next time ((()))

do they lw that's interesting to know, i'm very much a cautious person esp in love & esp when it involves my DS.

all he kept saying thou was 'will you trust me' and I know what i'm doing just trust me - well to me trust is earnt and not given out freely (at least mine isn't)

as I say cardboard box! lol. have left mobile at home switched off, & told XH that if he rings my house XH is to tell him to leave me alone!

They do exist. Mine is one but, like Bridie3's, he's not available . I hope you find yours.

I hope he's not the same one, MsHighwater.

if you ditch the idea of the fairytale, it's not so hard to find a nice man.

Sorty to hear about your relationship, DTM.

I know several lovely, decent, honest men. All married and likely to stay that way.

Haven't met one decent single man in decades, and at 43, don't think I'm likely to.

I have given up hope.

I know a lovely single guy who is dh best friend. There are nice guys out there.

es - my MIL said much the same - but as I see it now, i'm 26, I have a child, and do have a past, but I see to attract/go for the wrong types - ie abusers/manipulators, so am thinking by having a firytale about it all - a prince charming as it were it might help to raise the bar a bit! lol. (ie be more fussy about who I talk to!)

there has to be one out there! lol. so until he comes along i'm not getting involved with anyone!

You and me both, Bridie3

There are plenty of nice men out there, although I've only ever married one of them.

These are some of his good points:

Has always encouraged and helped me to do well, make best of self.

Has never been jealous of any success I've had or competitive.

Has always encouraged me to have my own friends and interests.

He knows I'm hell to live with when bored and helps prevent that.

He enabled (but did not force) me to be at home with our dc when they were babies.

He's very reliable, he communicates, he's honest.

He looks like himself, not Brad Pitt, and his wallet has varied in size over the years since I've known him.

I met him during Fresher's Week at college.
