This is the first time I have concentrated on my needs and what I want out of life. My question is: most of my family and friends keep trying to set me up with men.

I had decided to take a job somewhere else and after 1 year he hired a woman who had a very dramatic life abusive relationships,alcohol and Iv drug use, multiple sex partners,abandoning a child,and history of pursuing married men.

He became sexually involved with this young woman,30 years old,he is 53, we have a daughter 28.I was suspicious of the relationship and asked him to fire the woman.he refused and became very defensive,
