Thank you for inspiring me! I want a kick ass life and I really want to get to a place where I don’t want a man. I know I don’t need one. I am 59 and I know what I want and what I don’t want. I will never understand why a man will lie and cheat on a good woman.
I’m an educated, good woman! Met a guy in 2005…he was 4 years younger. He was So nice and just let me be myself. We were bestfriends and we got married in 2009. Over the years I carried the weight of the marriage and always felt like I had to make the decisions and be the leader WITHOUT realizing that was not how it was supposed to be. Once I realized I needed my husband to be the leader, the protector, the MAN of the house…he basically couldn’t play his part. Versus talking to me( communication is important) he said I gave him anxiety (so he says) and he told me he was leaving and he left. That was a year ago. Yes I still love my husband and I value marriage. I realize that I don’t want to be the masculine wife..I want to be soft and only hard when I need to be! I need a man to be a man. Good women may leave good men…but good women also have men leave them. I’m lonely but not desperate!! I want a partner and a partnership! I am trying to embrace this stage of my life and there are good days and there are bad days. I grieved what was but I want to accept what is ahead of me!!! ❤
As my therapist told me, "Grieving for what should've been and what you thought you'd have" is normal. It's part of the process. Next to death, divorce is one of the hardest things to go through. Hang in there.
Spot on. My ex-covert narcissist said to me "I didn't really think you'd file for divorce." 😮 He didn't see anything wrong with living with his mom instead of his wife (She lived with him 25 years prior to us getting married), didn't see anything wrong with putting his mom, sister, and even my dog before me. He refused twice to go to therapy. I went unbeknownst to him. When I filed for divorce, he then decided to go to therapy. After about 3-4 visits, he said his therapist wasn't helping him and he stopped. The ONLY reason he went was because he thought he could get me back. We've been divorced for almost a year. I'm a good woman and I deserve better!
Girl, your radical responsibility and vulnerability are such an inspiration! The Courage to be Disliked is a bookthat really explores all this. Blessings. p.s. an interesting Portuguese man in your future....
The only reason for a man to get married is to provide a stable environment for his children. Without children, marriage is nothing more than a financial liability. Thr woman can walk away at any point and take half your money. Why would i ever want to give my money to a woman who is not (nor ever will be) the mother of my kids? Without kids, women are not worth the hassle. Her money is her money. My money is my money.

Having masculine energy means you aren’t being a traditional woman🙄🙄 and staying in a marriage where you vacuum and he goes to work.
