Me and others I know but compared to what I've seen others go through, mine was a leisure stroll though the park. Unfortunately (or fortunately) it's the misfortune of others that prevented me going down the same path. I agree re bad experiences and I'm not a sucker for punishment. Once bitten, twice shy.
You're right, just a bunch. More likely to find a female leprechaun sitting on a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow who wants to give me a root and pay me for it in gold!
I did (e.g. the single mum who expected me to pay for her child's private school fees) but after 9 months she got a bit too comfortable and started waving red flags in my face.
I am very happy with things as they are, spending time with my best mates, getting more ladies' ass than a toilet seat and enjoying my beach house and rare collectable car which I shall not let slip out of my hands like many others. I've found relationships more stress than they are worth with no return. My dad used to say that if you have to work hard at a relationship, then it's not worth it.
