Yes, they exist.
I do understand how you feel. I was abused as a child, my father had several affairs on my mother and left us a few times, then was I in a relationship as a teen that led to me having a son- shortly after, my son's father up and left (never heard from him again).
That left me wondering, " are all men like this?"
Then, I spent one year of my life deliberately having NO men in my life (no dating, relationships, etc..) and just spent that year in prayer and getting to know the GREATEST man... God! After I figured out that He would never fail me, I prayed He would bring me a husband to love me and my son.
We've been married now over 7 years (together 8) and I can assure you, he is just as kind and gentle and caring as he was the first day.
One verse that really spoke to me when I was having such a tough time with this same thing is in Corinthians where it says, " Love always trusts."
I had to make a conscious choice to trust my husband because I loved him. I would trust him until the day he gave me a good/substantial reason to NOT trust him.
He has never done that.
Have hope! I'm sure he feels blessed to have you!
