I'm sorry to hear you've had such a hard time. You sound like a very fine person. But here is the thing: men don't owe it to you to date you, no matter great you are. They just don't. Any more than women owe to men to date them just because they consider themselves "great guys" or "great catches." It just doesn't work that way.

Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the consequences of making the wrong choice are going to be grave. Now I'm not saying that every single mother is the author of her own misfortune (and maybe you are one of the exceptions), but in many cases, single mothers have only themselves to blame.

 

Isn't that the guy's fault since he didn't end up being a good husband, as he presumably promised by getting married in the first place? Otherwise why would someone with kids have divorced him? It's easy to blame single women but that's just a bit stupid I'm afraid.

The ex was a lousy boyfriend/husband; my kids are my life; no one wants to date me. Waa! Hey, you still got seven fingers left. Make use of them :)

Yep, as a dater and potential dater of many single mothers who pointed an additional finger, the middle one, this :)
