who feels insecure?

[forward]

I'm posting this for women in particular, but really it applies to all of us who have been rejected by the person we love.

How are you handling the insecurity that comes from this rejection?

In my situation, OW is half H's age. I feel old. I've been working on building a lovely new wardrobe, etc.. And if I do say so myself, I look good overall!

I know I'm also an interesting person, I have considerable successes in my life on a professional level (and I certainly expect more).

But I see men this age, who are looking for women who are much younger, and I just feel insecure about my own attractiveness now.

Who relates? How are you dealing, barring finding someone else to tell you you look good??
