You aren't "nuts" but you do need to gain insight into why you allow yourself to be emotionally abused by a worthless man who WILL NOT and CAN NOT change. He Can't change but you CAN change.

These men have been told that women are inferior since Day 1. If you were born into a family where your mother was powerless and valued only for having babies, cooking, cleaning, and pleasing the men in her life, you probably would be confused, angry, and, yes, mentally unstable also. Powerless women raise powerless men who prey on others.

In the western countries, culture and religion are separate. In Muslim countries the culture and religion are one in the same. Most of the men the women on this site have been involved with are uneducated and are in a low socioeconomic status. The educated ones are rarely going to be looking for someone to scam on a social network.

You are allowing this man's behavior to consume your every minute. Therefore, you are giving him power that he doesn't deserve. Forget about him. Get on with your life. Accept the fact that he has used and abused you and then move on. Why are you so desperate for a man? Why do you think a much younger man wants a 50 year old woman? Sorry, but you need to "woman-up" and throw away your rose-colored glasses.

You can overcome this problem but only if you are willing to admit that a problem exists. Find something in your life that has purpose, significance, and meaning. I wish you well.
