imho, everything on your list is quite forgivable.... until we get to the donuts.
Are you a cake donut hater.... or lover?

2 times in the past year I was very interested in guys who turned out to have records. Not minor ones either. Ugh
i heard 30% of adults have a criminal record in america so
I know a lot of people have minor things, but 1 guy was kidnapping and battery the other was a whole host of drug and alcohol related things, including meth, and strangulation. Gonna have to pass on those guys. Messed up thing is that they both had good jobs so I was caught off guard. The "chef" at Five Guys had no record at all, go figure.

haha! I'm 54 and definitely too young to do such a foolish thing!0 -
The first time I was proposed to, it was WHILE I was breaking up with him because I found out he had been cheating on me during our entire 2.5 year relationship. Like... No.2

Marriage can be a good thing, there are positives, and I'm not dissing it. My last post sounded very negative
Depends on what you want for your life. You could find someone enjoys the same things you do. And then you can share some amazing adventures and experiences with that person.
I guess it also depends on you and that person you are with. Do you want to get married? Or do you want to just be together with out the official "marriage"? Or would you prefer to just be single?
There is such a variety these days, for lifestyles and relationships. What works for others may not work for you.

That is true. What I want for me is also prone to change, and I guess it's normal that peoples feelings change with time.Marriage can be a good thing, there are positives, and I'm not dissing it. My last post sounded very negative

That is very true.
When I had my daughter, a lot of my dreams changed. I had new dreams and goals that were very different from what I previously had. They weren't better or worse, it's just that I had changed. So the things I wanted out of life, changed as well.
Some people have this great ability to be open enough to grow and change WITH their partner. But unfortunately not everyone is that lucky....0 -

Bad experiences in college:
1) wasted two years pursuing a guy who was gay and in denial.
2) attacked by drunk fraternity thugs bent on rape and had to defend myself with a fencing foil.
3) took until 25 or 26 years old to start trusting men again and by then decent people were all paired up.
There were two decent men sandwiched in there who I perhaps unwisely took a pass on because my mother is a *kitten*ing racist and was persecuting a sibling for marrying a Jewish person. They were Jewish and I didn't want to sign up, or sign them up, for the kinds of abuse I was observing.
PS: sorry to be brutally honest, hope that doesn't ruin your day.
PPS: if you are a dude--that fraternity thug incident isn't that uncommon; if you've ever had a really neurotic girlfriend it's probably PTSD from an interaction with guys like those, or fear of them--'shroedinger's rapists'--that is making her neurotic. It's not you, it's her, but it is her because of what women call 'rape culture'. The predators among men are very good at pretending to be normal, sort of like a venus fly trap is good at looking like an ordinary plant. Studies show 5% of men don't recognize date rape when it is presented to them as a scenario and are at risk of being predators that way. So try to imagine if 1 in every 20 dudes you know as buddies might try to rape you at some point and you can understand why women can be neurotic when dating. What is more, each of these guys tends to be a serial offender and even at only 5%, bad dudes can result in tens of %'s of paranoid women. Lastly, a lot of the offenders have ego issues and become violent when rejected, which is why men complain of 'mixed signals'--she may fear that saying 'no' directly will result in being hospitalized or killed, because she can't tell the bad/violently explosive dudes from the good ones who will just walk away in disappointment. (you can't tell them apart either).4 -
Well he won’t agree that we should have a black accent wall in our dining room so I’m really not sure he’s the one anymore.6

... we kissed for the first time and it felt like kissing a brother.
... they were too co-dependent.1 -
