I've spent the past few years with a man who was married and divorced rather quickly (after 2 years) 22 years ago.

I agree with Carrie that your statement says it all.

At my age, I've stopped looking for a husband; I want someone who will be here for the long haul and will be an equal partner.

That was very cool of your daughter. And at least she is validating what you are feeling and thinking with that book.

Hi Diva!

An issue that hasn't been brought up in this discussion is verbal and emotional abuse. This relationship is not healthy and you are clearly not happy. Show your daughter that she's good enough and means the world to you. Allow her to live in an environment free from put-downs and belittling.
