I hate modern dating so much.

This may sound kind of cliche but I wish that I would have been able to date 30 years ago. I'm only saying that because dating culture right now sucks. I like to think I'm a rather traditional young woman I cook I clean I do the laundry I buy the groceries and I do any other household chore that a woman would do. Heck I'm even going to school to become a teacher and if that's not one of the most feminine professions I don't know what it is. I just got out of a 2 year long relationship with a person I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with maybe that's naive of me but I like to be optimistic. I cooked him 3 square meals everyday did his laundry cleaned up after him bought his groceries and paid for things when he was broke. And for a while things were good he had a steady job we lived together. And then he had to move back home which was 2 hours away from where I am for school. And suddenly I wasn't a priority and friends who had ghosted him a million times were suddenly so much more important than I was. S***** friends who I would barely call friends were more important than a woman who had given her loyalty her time her money and her love for 2 years. I called him one night close to the end of our relationship because my grandmother had been diagnosed with cancer and I needed him to come home from his ride on his ATV with his friends. He didn't come home in fact he accused me of having him on a curfew. I only wanted him to be home when he said he was going to be if he said 6 I expected him home at 6 and I also expected him to be there when I needed it when I called him screaming and crying begging for him to come home. I ended the relationship shortly after not because I didn't love him heck I still do but because I loved myself a little bit more and wanted a little bit more from my love life. And then to top it all off I found out a week after I had ended things that he had cheated on me 7 months earlier. Why can't someone just love me like I love them why do I have to put a 110% into a relatinship only to get 50 in return at most. I want to cook for someone to clean to do laundry I want to be a wife and I want to be a good one. I want to have kids and slow dance in parking lots and go for long drives and have date nights in. I want the love that comes with old country songs and roses. And unfortunately the current dating culture doesn't support that. It p***** me off so much because I did everything right he's told me I did everything right his parents had told me I'd everything right any one I talked to has told me I did everything right he's the villain he's the enemy he's the problem. But that doesn't make it any better it doesn't make me feel good. It just makes me why I couldn't be loved the same as I loved. I devoted myself to him completely and he didn't care. I just want to be a traditional woman. Dating a traditional decent man.
