Am i the last of a dying breed?? I was raised 60/4
My parents raised me right.I was tought you work for what you want.Ask for nothing and nothing is free. I was always a "Daddy's Girl" Always his shadow..Working on cars..handing hinm sockets and wrenches.Worked in the yard,garden whatever was needed. Appreciated a pack of gum,or a trip to the movies. My mom raised me to take care of your man.Have supper waiting,clean house.bills paid etc.As i grew up i kept those values.I have been married twice.The first ..married to young had a son i love with all my heart!We divorced still friends.The second marriage was very different.I married a very handsome man i loved with all my heart.He was a Dr. Jeckel Mr Hide .Abusive,jealous,controling.He felt he owned me,I was his property.I went to work EVERY DAY many days working 10 hours.He work get construction and would get home 3 to 4 hours before me. Theres where the 60/40 comes in.You give 60 expect 40.Well i would come home hafto cook supper for 4. Paid the bills he never let me see his checks.Mowed the yard,cleaned the house,ran the errands,took out the trash.Many days i would come in after working 10 hours and he was in bed.Yes i was foolish,I know that don't need any comments on that.I divorced him 2 yrs later.And have been single ever sence.I just wonder where are the people like me?? Who want someone to share your life with contribute to a relationship and make it better every day? Am i the only one left??

As I grew up I would know of and meet many a fantastic ladies, but they were with real a holes that would not even treat them with respect. They, the ladies, would be like you and me and all the other good people who would commit to the relationship and work it as a partnership with love and respect for each other but they were not getting the love and respect back. I could never figure out why they stayed in there relationship, really felt
You seem a stronger lady and you know what you want, and not want, from a relationship. Being on here and opening ones heart for the world to see will only attract more people like your self and let them know they are not alone either.
I wish you the best Gizmo
