I have friends who have married for money only, married for looks only, married outside their religion if that is important and guess what? They are all unhappy. Be smart about what you need. Thank you for the read. Good stuff :. I really related to the last 2 paragraphs especially. Years ago, after dating a bunch of really imperfect people, I wrote a list of things a man must have. I realized that he may have character traits that would not be on the list and dreams that I would not be able to anticipate, but I knew that I had some non-negotiable things.
I found a man who was perfect for my list and appreciated the other things about him that were not on my list. Very inspiring and insightful essay. This is fantastic. I took that advice, and fell in love with her. When those annoying little imperfections showed up, I completely stopped noticing them. I wanted to wake up next to her for the rest of my life. She decided to go find her perfect man. I never heard from her again. It works, I guess she found him. I wish I could find someone to share my life with.
We all have challenges in our lives, but I cannot find someone that will understand and stick with me through challenges. I see things for what they are.

My father and mother passed away. I have what turned out to be is a very seriously mentally ill brother, paranoid, greedy, and an alcoholic, who is nasty, dirty, no hygiene whatsoever, is sneaky and violent. I thought we were close but busy, but I realized we were not close, he just avoided my parents and I with excuses of being too busy, for a lifetime. He recently tried to commit suicide and I have foolishly been there for him during that time and tried to help him at Great expense to my life.
He is causing me much misery. This is a lot for a partner to handle, but everyone has there battles, each one of us does. This is one of the most difficult times of my life. I have not been seeking anyone during this. I have always wished someone would accept me for who I am, a normal human being, with strengths and weaknesses, not perfect and nowhere near it! But neither is anyone else.
We always grow. And would like to have a true partner in my life. I wonder if I will ever have this and lately it really saddens me that by this age I do not. Im trying to stay upbeat about THIS but this does make me somewhat sad. Would really like a good person in my life to share my life with and talk about everything under the sun and above, to spoil rotten! And to just enjoy life. Any thoughts?

Have been on my own, developing skills and enjoying activities that energize me. Am young at heart and find most men like to be sedentary. The ones I meet skating, skiing or being active are married with a wife at home. Is it bad luck or bad karma? Really get to know people. And let people get to know us.
