We are women (or men) who have been ( as Ford put it so well)"deselected". It doesnt matter if we are short/tall, skinny/curvy,have straight limp hair/course frizzy hair, quiet/outgoing...its our truth.its our souls that have been hurt, damaged and/or rejected. We will forever be comparing ourselves to the OW/OM. We can push it aside, but in our quiet moments it creeps in, if only for a second..its there. And it sucks. And we all know "its not about her/him". But the moment our spouses decided to step outside of our marriages, they did something to us..they wounded us.
I've lost weight. I have become a much stronger confident woman..heck, I really wasn't given a choice. I had to rise up and step up to the plate to take care of my girls and show them how to face a crisis, basically all eyes were on me. And I am. But those quiet moments when I'm laying in bed before drifting of to sleep and I'm alone and he is with her..I DO wonder, what does she have that I dont? So to all you ladies (and men)...a big giant ((((((HUG))))))
