Why I Am Single
by "Michelle"
I am not familiar with your politics or your writing in general. I am a single woman, never married, and sadly am passed the age to have a child.
I always wished to be married and have a family. I always worked because I am not an heiress. My grandparents were poor immigrants and had a spectacular marriage. They had great love and respect for one another and were one another's "helpmates". This is the type of partner I have always searched for.
I have found most men to be looking for women like a kid in a candy store. The concept of creating a life together with a helpful partner who is not a "servant" or "arm candy" or "ATM Machine" seems to be completely lost on most of my contemporaries. "Teamwork" is not something that is even a concept these days. The woman helps, he does great, he trades her off for a younger babe. The man lifts her up, she is doing great, he treats her like a piece of property (she is not) and she becomes unhappy. Or she does great and trades him off. One or the other party take the relationship for granted.
Divorce courts are filled with people who do not understand the dedication and fairness of marital commitment, the benefits of companionship, loyalty and mutual respect.
I have poured so much energy into
relationships with men who really did not fully understand and appreciate what I had done. Quite selfish guys. I am reluctant to engage again. It is tiresome to be an enlightened woman with old school values in a world of childish men.
The expression "I can do bad all by myself" is the unfortunate experience many women have after giving their all to one cloddish man after another who does not see the enhancing value the unique qualities a good partnership with a woman can bring to both parties.
