My opinion is that people don't "attract" bad mates. They may be attracted to peope that are bad mates, but that is from poor decision making. I understand making a poor decision, but some people make poor selections in their mates over and over.

Personally, I don't think there is any such thing as "unlucky in love". I was married 20 years before divorcing. She came home one day and decided she didn't want to me married to me anymore. Even though we have two wonderful children as a result; in 20-20 hindsight she was probably not the person I should have chosen to marry.
