At a school party for parents the other night, I met a woman who was D-ed and her new partner.
She was nice; he was a creep. She had settled for this guy, presumably because there was so little else out there. He was a divorced (no contact with his own children), self-absorbed, fake, pushy, yuck-o who pawed her repeatedly as we all chatted (at a school event!).
What rattled me was that she seemed like a catch - good-looking, smart, friendly, etc, etc. And yet she'd hooked up with this weird guy... maybe an indication of what's in store for me as a D-ed woman. Is this all there is out there? So depressing. I know, sample size of one! But it was sobering.
The other thing i've noticed recently is that the only 'interest' I seem to get comes from married men. You've got to be kidding me! I could have started an A twice in the last 2 weeks but these guys makes me feel sick.
Is this standard? Are there any good guys out there after the age of 40-50 who aren't damaged? Sorry to all those on this site: you guys who have insight into your situations and are working on yourselves are probably not in the dating pool anyway. I'm probably so mucked up myself that another R would not be easy.... how depressing it all is.
Sorry, just had to get this off my chest.
Watched 'It's Complicated' again on TV last night. And I still think Alec Baldwin is a better option for her than Steve Martin....oh, the power of the fairy tale.
