Do not let this time in your life define you. Do not let it hinder you, do not let it poison your mind. The truth of the matter is that you CAN get past this. You can rebound. You can have a fulfilling life again. For me being married validated me in many different ways. As a woman, no matter what other things you accomplish, you are validated by your relationship status, and I especially feel the pressure of "what is wrong with you" now that my ex has decided to leave me. In some ways, him being there validated me as desirable.. now I kinda feel like i have a communicable disease or something. I combat these feelings by trying to keep my appearance together. It makes me feel more attractive although I am fighting the battle of self worth inside.
