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?
