Don't forget the beauty shop! And clean out that closet. Get new clothes. Makeup is very important too. Then you can go read (not cooped up at home...a library is a good place for that).

Wait is that the problem? I never do anything with my hair and it's going gray now. I almost never where makeup. I was always pretty without it. And I am lazy and like to sleep in. Makeup and hair is the difference between having to get up at 4:30 am or getting to sleep in until 5:30. Sleep wins. Plus the money spent on that crap is the like buying toilet paper and cat litter. Money throw away

I like makeup but I wear very little. It usually only takes me 5-10 minutes to do my makeup and about 2 minutes to take it off. It's not a big job if you don't wear a wall paint

e.
The wisdom I have to offer you is that when everyone else seems to be the problem, you're generally the problem.

In this case, your picker is off. You pick rotten guys.

As far as your happiness...something can make you happy without being a *requirement* in your happiness.

Get it?

A nice scotch makes me happy, but if I never drank scotch again, I would still be a happy person.

A perfect analogy ^^ for what some of us have been trying to explain.

OP, if you start needing that "scotch" to feel happy, then YOU are the problem.

That's absolutely BS.

There are lots of good guys out there.

Don't let some of the women here who have made painfully bad choices, sometimes REPEATEDLY, tell you otherwise.

Gender bash much?

OP had a terrible male role model as a father, and, as happens all too often, is finding similar men.

I think you are lying about going to therapy. Anyone who reads a half dozen or more of your posts knows there is all kinds of stuff wrong with your life.

I love my dad as a daughter. I dislike him as his wife's daughter. I would go so far as to say I wish my mum was with someone better. They are happy now (I think) but he never took care of my mum in any way. Never bought her birthday presents, no anniversaries, no alone time with her, not a single trip with her alone, expected her to do all the housework and barely helped. He cheated on her once with a prostitute. He's such a great dad but a complete a-hole as a husband.

I believe in love, believe that there's someone out there who is just right for me. I just got out of a relationship and working hard to improve myself and am happy to be single. After all my experience I think I still believe I can find love. But i don't want to let men dictate my happiness.

But how could they not dictate my happiness if i truly loved them? need some wisdom here.
There is some myth that gay people are somehow genetically fixed as such, but I have never found that to be the case. I wound up doing prostitution for a short stint, by the end of it, I had effectively convinced myself to be into guys.

What doesn't work is forcing people to change.

But you are free to decide who you are into. If you have had a bad experience with men, definitely see if you're not bi or lesbian. Bottom line? You dictate your happiness, not a man.
