This isn’t a retorical question, I’m really asking where have all the good men gone? There are some great men out there and I know because my father is one. Although, as I’ve come to discover lately men like my father are a dying breed.
The good ol’ fashioned men who love and appreciate their wives are as gone as VCR’s and walkmans, they’ve had their time but eventually a newer, flashier model of DVD’s and iPods have replaced them but no matter how cute and sleek the newer versions look on the outside they are not without their problems on the inside. Just like men.
I used to think that the longer you wait to get married the better chance your marriage had of surviving. You’re older and wiser and more experienced so your supposed to know yourself better and what you look for in a partner and be able to recognize it when you meet him. But like any theory they can fail.
This year was a big year for me with a lot of changes. Some good and some not so good. I had a beautiful baby boy named Max and separated from my husband in the process. Literally in the process of carrying my son my husband and I separated.
Once I got over the initial shock and started to look for single mom blogs online I realized how un-alone I really am. There is a whole cyber universe filled with single moms and some really bad break up stories making my sound like a fairy tale.
Back to the question, where have all the good men gone? Is it possible that men are only as good as the partner they want to be good for? So if they are not with the right woman they are jerks or behave like asses but as soon as they are with the right woman they turn into princes?
To sum up 2008, it’s been a very big year to say the least, one with many changes:
I got pregnant with my second child and first son
I got separated from my husband
I gave birth to a healthy baby boy
I moved out of the home I shared with my husband and will make a new home for myself and the kids
I saw again how supportive my family is in time of need
I’m extremely lucky and can’t wait to see what 2009 has in store.
Happy New Year and see you next year!
