On my H's 47th b'day, someone posted a picture of him on a boat holding a gift of Crown Royal. He was in the middle of a group of a party-ers with a big smile and the OW sitting right next to him. Everyone looking tan and happy and responsibility-free!!
Gag.
I got wind of the picture from a family member or friend. Some "helpful" person immediately let me know. When I heard, I sat in our driveway and sobbed.
That was a bad day.
I kept my distance from FB after that. And, I made sure that family and friends understood that I didn't need to know the gory details of my H's new life.
Just remember, appearances can be deceiving. They usually are. It's called masked depression because it's hidden...M.A.S.K.E.D.
People who cope by running from their problems are usually really good at hiding their true feelings, even from themselves. This doesn't mean they are happier than the rest of us, or happier without us...it just means they are good at hiding their feelings and remaining out-of-touch with those feelings.
Stick to your own truth today.
