I’m not trying to be mean but by experience they will never NEVER change they will promise to change and do the exact same thing over and over again. The best thing you can do for yourself and any children is move on. Strive for better! No matter who you are or what you’ve done you can always do better if your heart truly desires happiness. I have been through so much in my life and was a single mom for 7 years and struggled but NOW and the last three years I’ve been the happiest person on this earth. I was told with my last relationship by my sister and friends that I should just over look the things that made me so unhappy because besides those things he was good looking, had a great job, had his own house and money. My sister out of all people told me to give up on this dream of having the perfect man and life and that it was only in the movies. This is also coming from someone who has been married to an alcoholic for 30 years and has hit her and her kids and flirts with everyone including me. 🤮. Women fail because they settle for some small stuff that doesn’t even matter when you look at the big picture. My husband and I are extremely happy. My now 10 year old daughter is extremely happy. I also have another child with him. I dated several people before finding the right man and my biggest regret was wasting time on each of those people trying to fix them. By the time I met me husband I was tired of them games. I was 27 and I knew what I wanted. We argued once has boyfriends and I straight up told him, “I will not play games and we won’t be together one month and not together the next! And if he wanted to be with me ? He needed to get that through his head. I told him that I wasn’t there to try to fix him that those days were in the past “ and I went back to my apartment which I still had paid for for three more months. Went to work the next day and he called me and he told me, “I love you and I want you and your daughter in my life and I promise to take care of you guys and be the man you need” . I would say never had an issue since but we did once but all I said was don’t think because we’ve been together for a year that I still can’t take off and do things on my own. That fixed that. Other then that one day, we’ve been just fine. You have to treat yourself better if you want anyone else to do so.
