Voices: Nice guys bore me – but ‘bad boys’ treat me terribly

Black magic: Winona Ryder and Christian Slater in 'Heathers' - (New World Pictures)

Dear Vix,

I’m 40 and I’m starting to panic that I’ve missed the boat when it comes to finding a husband – because antiquated as it may sound, I do really want one. I‘ve never been married and I’ve always dreamed of sharing my life with someone special. I’ve had so many three-to-six month relationships I don’t even know if I could list them all without forgetting someone’s name, but I haven’t met anyone I actually wanted to go the distance with (well, apart from one, who I dated for a year, but he ended up breaking my heart).
