The eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth has been going on for many many centuries in the Middle East. This atrocity is never ending and each past battle is the reason for this "get even" problem.
He will not bring up your past or inquire about it.
He will wake up every morning and let you know he loves you. If he is a Christian he will thank the God Almighty that HE has given the THREE of you one more glorious and blessed day.
He will be mindful of your well being and open doors for the two of you. He will attend to you when you or your daughter are sick.
He will make the two of you, you and your daughter, want to do things for him also because you love each other dearly.
I have often thought about living somewhere else like a tropical country but then I can't. All of my kids are here. I would not be without them for a trillions $$$$!!
The man that "dropped" you doesn't deserve you! You are a gorgeous woman and I am sure someone else will want you. Not only for your looks but for your intelligence as well.
Now put that intelligence to work:
You will eventually forget the grief because your smart!
Forget the other girl. She has now inherited trouble.
Forget friendship from a man that "plays". I don't know him but I think we have figured him out.
The future is kaput with this guy. Just wait for the man that will respect you and your future will take a new hold.
Again, the promises are kaput as well. Just make plans later and, again, start anew!
Unfortunately "findings" and surveys like this one you cite are usually the opinions of the writer taken from someone else or from a very unreliable survey they have taken. I even scoff at the "professional" surveyors.
What's good for you? Go for that goal.
However, I do want to say this. How can a man feed himself or his future family, buy a home, buy a car get the basic essentials for the family without a career first?
I divorced my wife when she couldn't understand that the large salary I was making was because I had to put the time in. She liked her "model home" and all the things I bought her. But my work hours were long. She called me a coward because I "didn't want to tell my boss I refuse to work the long hours". Silly girl. That thought never crossed my mind because I was thankful for this job that provided me with everything my family needed for the present and the future!!!
I've made this argument before only to get women here on CS telling me how wrong I was. It's not wrong when you have a family that wants "nice stuff", who brings home the check and hands it to his wife, who doesn't deny his family the right to use that money for their needs.
Bung is our resident comedian with the silliest sense of humor that evert lived. You must fully understand, jump into the mirth, dissect the message by looking at the title which means probably nothing and laugh at that silliness.
Then your ready to "get" the rest which you probably won't which is the funny part of it.
Then after you can't figure it out and you laughed your head off write something just as silly as a comment!
On many dating sites I have read certain criteria necessary to start dating the particular woman whose profile your reading. These woman start by saying, "Looking for a financially secure man that owns his own house and car, etc., etc., etc.
I think he's letting any interested woman that he is a possibility so please inquire within!
