 You said, "I cannot trust anything that comes out of a man's mouth." Remember those words because in their lies the answer. People are always telling you who they are but in truth THEY SHOW YOU WHO THEY ARE. Don't get fooled by the sales pitch about his good qualities, they should be  observable, not some convuloted story. 

  

Also, if a person loves you and respects you, he will treat you as such, (again an action, not a story). If you feel some sort of sharp pain in your gut or shoulders when he says something to you. Be aware, it's your mind telling your body, I don't like that or that hurt me. It's a signal that all is not right. 

  

Good Luck,

If you re-read your post a few times, I think you will be honest enough with yourself to see that you need counseling before you attempt another romantic relationship. If you don't trust your choices and you wonder if there are any decent and honest men out there, you definitely are NOT ready to be dating. There's nothing wrong with becoming emotionally healthy by seeing a counselor. I did it to get over emotional abuse at the hands of my father. I just needed 3 visits to get me on the road to good health and I am VERY proud that I went for help. I hope you'll consider doing the same. Lots of insurance companies pay for mental health counseling and many churches offer such services. Best of luck to you. I hope you WON'T get involved with anybody until you reach good emotional health. God bless!

I too was conned into thinking I had the greatest man on earth,that is, until we got married. I worked hard to help make a living and tried to be a good step mother to his 15 yr. old daughter. I hurt myself at work and was told I couldn't go back to work, everything changed after that, I tried to get disability but my husband wouldn't even pay for me to go to a Dr. He ended up telling me to get out even though everything in the house I had payed for. I'm living with my daughter and son-in-law and have my clothes and a bed to sleep in, but you know what? I trust God that He will still send me someone to love and who will love me, this time, I'm depending on God instead of myself.
