Irish ...

The whole embarassed thing. Man do I get that! This was something I carried around for a long time.

Some things to think about ...

1. Do YOU feel pathetic? Why or why not?
2. Why do you assume others see you as pathetic?
3. Why do you care if someone else "thinks" you are pathetic?

4. You are still legally married. You don't need to 'believe' it, it's just a fact. Are you wearing your ring for that reason only?
5. "NEED" to behave that way???? Seriously, sweetie ... you don't NEED to behave in any way ... how do you WANT to behave, what is true to Irish? That is what you are looking for ... you don't NEED to do anything based on social conventions, family expectations, blah, blah, blah ...

6. I happen to agree. But who gives a flying f@ck what we think either. Irish, Grit is right ... you need to own this and wear like skin for YOU.
