I dunno bexy - I must choose the wrong ones, never got any emotional support from either of the two men in the 'significant' relationships I've had.
I'm now quite happy to be alone - well with 2 teenage girls in tow - it's much less hassle, I have no worries of being let down or anything like that.
I have learned to be very self sufficient (decorating, gardening etc) and have a good plumber, builder etc to hand.
I even get full custody of the tv remote - what more could I want??
