I've yearned for a companion for many years and for a while I just accepted the fact that maybe it's just a fairytale that I'm dreaming of. I hear of men that actually cook dinner for their family, who take care of their family and protect it, and who actually like to do things with their family. I have begged my husband for years to take hikes with me, go to the gym, go camping, do something other than sit in front of the computer. Does that really happen? Are there men who actually take care of their woman? Cherish her? Put her needs first? Or are they all just self-centered ego maniacs?
I am very independent and like to do my thing once in a while, but I would sure love to share my life with someone. Am I living in a fairytale and expecting too much? I really think I'm worthy of my husbands attention other than in the sack. Posted on 05/15/08, 02:05 pm |

I have my flaws, but I do love to cook, clean, do laundry, even iron. Yes, I enjoy ironing. Nothing better than turning on a good game, pouring a glass of wine or beer, and ironing a week's worth of clothes.
What can I say? I'm kind of a freak.

I had the same life as you only mine sat/slept all hours at home in front of the tv. I now have a man that does all the things you mention above. We cook, shop, clean, dance, walk, sleep, laugh, everything together. I never dreamt that this would ever happen to me - and me at 52 years of age!! It did, and I am blessed.

I think there used to be a lot of men like that. They are antigues now. Like old rusty cars they have been sent to the crusher, divorce court.
Most dont really want to wine and dine anyone. Hikes, camping and cool stuff like that they can do with a dog.

Hey Just Angie,
Wow! Sounds so familiar. My stbx is on the computer 'til 2 am then goes to HIS room. I've declared the master bedroom a no-snoring zone, so he won't even come in be with me. I have to say I don't miss him snoring in my ear, but I do miss having a warm body next to me.

Hey...I cooked, I cleaned, I worked, I did dishes, I gave baths, change diapers, did the morning shift off to school so she could sleep, went on trips, did overnightings with brownies, girl scouts, boy scouts, field trips,planted a garden, took care of the vehicles, built additons and finished basements in our home, take the kids shopping for her B.days, mothers day, suprise her with jewelry, fun gifts, funny cards, flowers, dinners out, opera tickets, singing telegrams....Hey, this is good for me to remind myself of.......she still thinks I've contributed nothing.
Sorry...you got me going.

Cmustard, sounds like she took advantage of a good situation.. Sorry you had to go through that.. Hopefully life is better for you now.. There are good men out there , just as there are good women out there. It is just finding them and getting together that is the hard part.. It is hard to find one not jaded by lifes experiences and open to love and trust.. I have had difficulty finding that, and especially with men my age.. They are all pretty worn out from it all and don't want to give it another go. Younger men don't seem to have the same qualms about it.. They want to date me and perhaps more, but I want someone that I don't have to explain that I like CCR too.. That would be really nice.... Maybe one day.. Kimmee

I was out and about, running my errands (patting myself on the back) and kept getting tearful. If anyone said anything …
