So I had this bright idea three years ago to quit my job, sell my house and start over and live a live of "adventure". Be careful what you wish for. The day I turned 40 I found out that I got a job as a flight attendant (which was my DREAM since I was a little girl.) and not long after that, found out I would be based in San Francisco. Life was so awesome!! So full of adventure and promise.
Three years later the following has happened:
* quit my flight attendant job because I met the "man of my dreams" who turned out to be an abusive sexual deviant
* I'm now working for $12/hour for the cheapest asshole pretty much doing his job for him but I'm so "thankful" that I have a job in this economy
* My 15 year old has attempted suicide twice in the past 2 months and smokes pot daily
* I'm under investigation for child abuse due to false allegations from my psycho ex and ex husband
* I have numerous courtdates to look forward to
* I just mailed my rent check even though I'm short by about $500 in the bank
* I'm broke
* Bills piling up
* My 22 year old sits on her ass all day and stares at her own Facebook pictures with no plans on getting a job or helping out around the house
* I have no friends
* I live in LA
It doesn't get any better than this! This is the life of adventure alright!! | |

So you met a guy that you thought was the one, and it turned out he wast, but there are billions of men on this planet, and that was just one of them. Don't give up on us OK :) ?
I might be wrong here, and if so, ignore this paragraph, but let me guess: the man you fell for was very self confident, maybe even slightly arrogant, manly, good looking, experienced with women, he promised you the world, and you didn't have a very long period of time to evaluate him, as your relationship was moving forward pretty quick. We are biologically programed to like certain type of people, and for women, I believe, the problem is that you often fall for what we men refer to as "dickheads". You should try again, but this time use your feelings AND your logic. Dating a nice guy might not seem (or in fact be) as exciting as someone who is much more wild, but if you want a stable relationship, "wild" is not the most desirable characteristic of a man. Anyways, that's just my 2 cents...
When I got there I found a crappy job market and crashed real estate market. And crappy people too. I'd kill to live in L.A. again.
