I [39F] took a long break from dating, thinking it was going to help, it's a disaster.

You are not giving any advice. You decided on the sole basis of two phrases that I am sob grandmother with no self-esteem. Why? Because I trusted a man once in 2 years? Why? Because I felt some kind of connection but he obviously didn't? Guess, what life it's much more complicated that a simply PDF from a forum. I got nice comments here, advice, suggestions and some people telling me their story. I have my standards, I apply them. I even apply to FDS things, even if you don't believe so, still I got burned once in two years. But ehi, you from god know where are ready to label me as a desperate aunt looking for love in the wrong places.

I needed to vent. I needed to share this horrible weekend. I needed to close a chapter and hear different voices. I didn't need to hear accusation, ill wish and belittle. What kind of empowerment is bullying? You don't me to have a better life, you just want to have right and use FDS as shield. Guess, what, the majority of people in FDS would be let down by their partners too.
