A little journaling:

My DB Coach (immediately after bomb drop) told me I have to compete against OM.
Little did we realize that it was already "too late."

I saw this quote recently from Mr Bond on another thread.

"You don't "compete" against OM. She has to prove that she's worthy of you. Not the other way around."

He articulated perfectly my gut instinct.
I need to have this tatooed on my forarm.
