Search Results: divorced family

So rewind to a few months ago, my dad used to reach out weekly or maybe every few weeks. At the time, my mom and I (parents are divorced) weren’t talking so not sure if my dad saw himself as the middle man. As soon as my mom and I start talking again, he begins reaching out more frequently. Maybe it’s a coincidence but my dad in my opinion reaches out too often while my mom reaches out just as often and for some reason it doesn’t bother me. My mom lives local and my dad lives in another state, we didn’t talk for 3 years and started again last year. Again he didn’t reach out that often until my mom and I started talking again. My dad just irks me I can’t put a finger on it well kind of but it’s hard to explain. This past weekend, I speak with him Saturday after he calls again from when I didn’t pick up that Tuesday. After we speak about an hr, he calls back about an hr after and I don’t pick up. Sunday, he calls me 4 times and I didn’t answer bc I was just frustrated. I know it’s not an emergency bc he usually texts after if he needs something. Yesterday, he calls again and I kind of chew him out for calling so much Sunday, he called to tell me about a show he watched and I had to ask if that REALLY warranted 4 calls in one day, like a text would’ve done the trick. Honestly I don’t understand why he needs to reach out so much we haven’t had an argument since 3+ years ago before we stopped talking. He only talks to his brother and isn’t on speaking terms with the rest of his family bc they’re assholes. I am kind of fed up with everyone sympathizing for him but I am alone too & don’t see anyone pitying me. My thing is what if I was married or had kids, I’d still be expected to devote my time to him? That isn’t my fault or obligation.

I am on a site called Match. Put bluntly as a woman with self-respect, who hasn't slept with many men, etc., most of the men aren't worth contacting. And it's not for fickle reasons

Men poising like roosters in selfies, hats on backwards, etc. so obviously not mature for their age / likely not responsible & likely looking for flings. Never married but with 1 child or multiple children. "Currently separated" which means most are married, not living in the family home but not legally divorced & yet looking (no wonder the marriage didn't work), etc. As well as "is it happy hour yet", and profiles that indicate there's a problem or another.

Am I being unreasonable? I don't think so. I want a decent partner. I'm on it to get away from the locals of this small town I work in - I am not local - as drugs, alcoholism, etc is very common

And I've been told by a few of the more decent men that women on the site are predominantly no better - dressed skimpy, can't string a conversation together, etc., etc. - than the men I ignore.

Why would you want to hide it? ... because how will you know if someone you are romantically interested in is really interested in you and not the wealth?

Do you know the divorce rate for those in ultra high income brackets?

Does it mean you are forever trapped with the necessity of marrying into higher or equal status and can never have someone you fall in love with be of a middle or lower status?

... No, I'm not kidding!
