There is NEVER a guarantee for anything in life.......you just have to take a chance and hope it works. There is also NO perfect male to be your Knight in Shinning Armor. You either love a person (with all their quirks) or you don't.
Perfection is only found in books and movies - life is NOT perfect.
I understand how focusing on yourself feels selfish. I always feel like my loved ones depend on me to be there. The trick is balancing being there for others and taking time for yourself. Take at least 30 minuets a day to do something just for you. Take a class that your interested, go for a walk, take a bath. Do what ever makes you happy for whatever short amount of time you have free. Once you start loving yourself that will shine through and when you least expect it a wonderful man will show up in your life and you will end up looking at the past like a bad dream. Trust me I've been there and now I have a partner in life who accepts my flaws and I accept his.
Humans cannot give permanent gurantees. Most cannot even keep their promises. I felt the same way you do and searched for a gurantee i could trust.
What more remarkable “guarantee” could the Almighty God give of his set day for judgment for all the inhabitants of earth than the resurrecting of his associate judge from a martyr’s death? Just because we may have a different religious view of matters, we ought not to look at God’s “guarantee” as something to be shrugged off, as the majority of those Supreme Court justices on Mars Hill did. This “guarantee” is furnished by the “King of the nations.” It is nothing to be scoffed at as something unscientific and ridiculous. In the first century C.E. there were more than 500 eyewitnesses to the existence of that “guarantee” from God, including the apostle Paul himself. Today over eight million people from all nations have embraced this truth looking forward to the guarantee that The “man” whose resurrection from the dead is the “guarantee” of the coming “set” day of judgment is identified as Jesus Christ. (1 Cor. 15:3-8, 12-20)
The reason why he is not on earth today is that he sacrificed his perfect human life and was resurrected, in order that dead humankind might also have a resurrection to an opportunity for endless life on a cleansed earth that will be converted into a global paradise.
