When I was married to my disgusting ex husband, I found a D pic of him that he’d sent to women all over the world , I wondered what must be going on in his head for him to feel such a photo was either appropriate or expected. I mean, at the time he had a wife and young adult kids (not mine, his first marriage) and a profile in sport. The women on the receiving end of the photo must have been in shock. I mean if he wanted to impress them, that isn’t his best angle! :) 

I’m almost 57 yrs young, from my first memory to this day, as a woman, I’ve never mattered enough. And it hasn’t improved, it’s worse today than it was when I remember being a little girl, sitting in front of my grandparents Christmas tree on Christmas Day, watching, excited and patient, as my brother was given a transistor radio, and I got nothing! The silence is still palpable. 

I recently divorced a man after learning of his 4 month sex tour while working. I read every salacious exchange with every one of his conquests. Did I have earlier signs he was a potential cheater? Damn right I did and I ignored them.  They always have plausible excuses. This girl has her gut telling her what to do, she should following instincts.

I so agree. Mother of a 34 yr old son. Our relationship has been in ‘extremely difficult territory’ for the last 8 years and ‘difficult territory’ for the 5 years prior to that. No one talks about parenting adult children and the strain the comes with it, for both parties.
