 I mean going to church to find a woman may not be a bad thing. You may find something else that's missing to you. 

Time to move on from this one though. Is 18 months your longest relationship ever? What causes the others to falter? Do you self sabotage? Feel like there's missing info. I could have missed it though. 

Either way I wish you the best and hope you don't be what you're looking for. Try church though. It may not actually be phoney to you like you think. God does work in mysterious ways. Either way be blessed  
 my longest relationship was 3 years. then two others that were about a year, and most about 4 to 6 months. nothing has been crazy long term but i dont think i self-sabotage. i probably ended things 50% of the time, she ended things 40% of the time, and maybe 10% of the time it was both of us saying "this isn't working".  from my end, it's usually something that makes me second guess her character or her as an eventual mother. (one girl, for example, hit the DOOR CLOSE button repeatedly when a mom and 2 kids was trying to get on the elevator. i was shocked.)  i think i need to shake things up. i have been at the same gig for 20 years in the same house that i own for 20 years. but i dont know. thank you for the reply. 
 Good luck to you and I wish you the best going forward. Give church a try though maybe God is trying to tell you something. Maybe not though. Either way have a blessed day and don't give up
