Darn it, I'm angry! I wasn't planning on having to watch every penny again at age 51! The "agreement" (called marriage) that I had with xh was that we would both work our butts off and enjoy the fruits of our labors in our latter years. Well, we JUST arrived there in 2007 and then he dumped me in 2009! All those years of working three jobs, wearing thrift store clothes, and eating day old hot dog buns...to be back to this?? NOT FAIR!! I had just gotten used to the fancy skin creams and being introduced to the "full price" racks at clothing stores. Now....I'm back to thrift stores and eating at home. Yes, my life is better and I have amazing friends, but I'm MAD as HELL!! My therapist says I should be and I will keep marching happily forward, but I'm mad! How come the ow gets all the financial fruits of my labor??
