I was speaking to a gentleman I was dating. His ex was taking him back to court because he was cutting off the child support for the craziest of reasons, their kids were no longer children. I really was shocked women behave in this manner. So I asked him what do you call a woman who not only agreed to but insisted that her support be capped at four years. He said that person doesn't exist so they have no name. I asked if he wanted to see my divorce decree.

I needed the ability to support my kids and myself. I asked only four years to earn a five year degree. I added a second major so I will have earned 183 credit hours in four years. Do the math, I have no life. What I do have is my self respect and that is worth more to me than money.

So as I look at all you wonderful men in the dating pool should I assume you believe that I am like your ex. Should I assume you believe I bled him dry and will keep squeezing until the last one turns 22?

It makes me sad to think that after I tried to be fair that I would be judged by some stereotype. So kind gentleman what should I think?
