I feel like I do kind of have one of those names that project a less than positive image. But like Briget says - when I came to this board I used a name that projected how I was feeling at the time.
I didn't realize it at the time, how often a spouse walks away without any notice. But when my P called me up and said "I'm sorry, I don't know what to say, I think I'm falling in love with someone else" and then decided that she had to "explore" this new love. I truly was Totally Shocked. I had absolutely no idea that this was coming - and although I understand that's fairly common - it wasn't common to me.
Since then I've thought about whether or not I should change the name. I don't want to have a negative connotation. Funny thing though - I'm still Totally Shocked. To this day I still don't understand because she seems to really love me and I don't understand her attraction to the OW.
Plus, I'm finding it fun to always post a last sentence that makes sense if the last word is Totally (even though I'm NOT a valley girl). It makes me chuckle when it works out really well and I can get some great enjoyment out of it, Totally
