Dear Lady. Ann:
I’ve been believing in God for a husband since I was in high school. I really started dating when I got to college. I had plans to save myself for marriage, but let my guard down for this man I had a crush on since the 6th grade. We had 2 kids and never got married instead he married someone else. Since then I’ve been celibate. I had one other long term relationship since then which ended 3 years ago. The man disappeared and I haven’t heard from him since. I’ve been back on the dating scene for about a year and a half or so, but no luck. All I get are men who want to play games, use me, pick out what they believe is wrong with me or make a fool out of me. Including the two men I just mentioned.
I’m 35 and this has been going on for this long. Why is it that the more I pray to God to bless me with a husband the more I get men like this or none at all? These type of men and this situation make me feel like something is wrong with me. I know I have more weight on my body than most women, but there are women larger than me who get any man they want. What’s really the problem? I’m starting to feel that either I’m cursed or someone has put one on me.
