I AM A SINGLE 30YR OLD MOTHER MARRIED TO A 6MOS AND 4YR OLD. IT IS HARD OUT THERE TRYING TO BE THE HEAD AND THE TAIL FOR SO, LONG. I WAS MARRIED ONCE AND SCORNED BY IT, NEXT I WAS ENGAGED TO LAST SON'S FATHER BUT, HE STILL WANTED TO PLAY THE FIELD AND NEGLECT ME , ABUSE MY HEART, AND USE ME. NOW I AM ALONE AND WAITING ON GOD TO SEND ME A MAN WHO HAVE STRONG MORALS AND STANDARDS AS MYSELF. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE JUMPING AROUND FROM THIS AND THAT PERSON. IT IS TIME TO SETTLE DOWN AND BECOME THE MAN GOD MADE YOU AND BE RESPONSIBLE AND LOVE ONE WOMAN. IT DOESN'T PAY TO CHEAT ESPECIALLY LOVE IS A SERIOUS THING AND WHEN THAT MAN DOES ARRIVE HE WILL LOVE ME UNCONDITIONALLY AND TAKE CARE OF ME AND MY KIDS. I WILL LOVE HIM THE SAME. MEN IT IS TIME TO PUT YOUR PRIDE AND EGO TO THE SIDE BECAUSE ANOTHER MANS TRASH AS YOU CALL US SOMETIMES COULD BE THE NEXT MAN'S TREASURE!

I am 27, with two young children, just got out of a bad marriage. I guess i feel like dating is just a complete waste of time and energy. You can date someone for two years and still not know them! What I found out after I got married was that a person will only show you what they want to show you about themselves, until you make that commitment of marriage, and then that's when their true colors show. Isn't the purpose of dating getting to know someone? How can you truly get to know a person if they are hiding the truth?

What do you do if your husband says F***K You? I find this text very disrepectful to me. He does it occasionally and even after i told him how I feel about it. I don't like it and now I am ready to leave him because he doesn't care.

I don't even want to get married anymore. I done gave up. 1/3 of our men in jail from a _ucked up childhood. 1/3 lazy, dumb and cheap. 1/3 married. Where does that leave you?

Don't be discouraged by statistics because if you do, you will become one. Write down what you want in a men. Look high and low, then hold God to his word. Or hold the word over your situation and watch what happens.

TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HEREAnswer this question i need help because this man waiting thing is getting boring. I deserve a great man, but here is the issue. Why are men more attractive to your girlfriends than to you. My girlfriend recently divorced, self issues, gorgeous, beautiful kids, living at home with her mother, codependant. I love her dearly but just looking at her issues, men still want to be with her, becauses she is pretty. I am average looking, educated, own home, handsome son, work hard to sustain household. I am not as promiscuous as she and other girlfriends who get their men by sex first, ask questions later. What is the deal?

Also view this site: wordcity org/2009/07/24/hot-summer-series Pastor R A vernon is really speaking to us singles....I fast forward the first 15 minutes to get to the meet of the sermon.

Dating in Atlant has its challenges. I tried online dating and it seems most are looking for a booty call. Now that I in my late 30's I find looks are not all the important verse a man with purpose. I have stepped out the box and took up a new hobby which is learning to pay golf and ladies I tell you, I get more potential dates at the range then at the gym, book store and church. Give it a try and you may even like golf.
