It never fails to amaze me how weak men can be, not all, but some. They have to go out and immediately find someone to fill their ego back up and not deal with their own emotions. We women do deal and maybe that's why we are more prone to anxiety, migraines and depression... We feel... we are emotional by nature and that isn't going to change. Keeping a smile on our faces and staying brave helps... it's the whole fake it till you make it thing right?

Today was the first day i heard that expression...and i like it! And if we fake it, and they are none the wiser, better for us, right? Let them think we are up to something with the smile on our face...something GREAT!!

I no longer think of him 24/7. I still think of him but I also think how unhappy I was with him. No love - no intimacy, his betrayal, lies and manipulations.

Do I love him? A little, but not like before. Also, I have very little respect left for him. In my eyes, he's a weak man and not honest with himself or others.

So, I am choosing to think of the things I'm blessed with and there are many. Blessings in my life are my children, grandchildren, mother, siblings and my extended family. I have a beautiful place and for now a job.

I am learning to live alone and not wanting to complicate my life. Perhaps someday a lovely man will come in my life but right now I'm working on myself and fiiguring out what I NEED AND WANT!!!

recovery, i love it. i'm heading in the same direction. grateful for what i have, sure i go through the emotions, but they are not as bad as they were 3 months ago. i love the positive posts from you today. thanks.

It takes a very long time to change our thinking about our significant others, and our selves. What gets one person through it may not work for others.

Just take things one day at a time, or an hour at a time if need be.
