Worst decision I ever made. I was desperate, and I settled big time.
Not uncommon, given the “crisis”. In the secular world, the problem is more common, except that there the girls are more willing to remain single. (Google “the atlantic all the single ladies”). Many guys ARE deadbeats (although “kollel” can cover it up, for non learners). And yes, better to be single than marry someone who has no ability to treat you correctly.
