Since the ddays there has been a photo of each of the OW, dressed to the nines in her best, in the newspaper. This REALLY bothered me, it sunk me..
It made me feel so insecure and unimportant.

The newspaper took a picture of us at an event the other night. It was one I was proud of how I looked and I thought it was maybe my turn.

So then it’s not included but I turn to the sports section and there is OW#1’s son, winning an award.

I feel crushed. But I know logically, I shouldn't care. I have way too much invested in something, not sure what....

At our house we call this "having poop in your pants." LOl Cause we klassy and all that.

Now buck up and go change yer drawers cause those women are *expletive deleted in respect of the R forum guidelines* and not worth a moment more of your time.

Klassy Rebreather, you crack me up! Did she make you laugh, rachelc?

rachelc posted 11/12/2013 15:26 PM

yes, she did!

But I think its reasonable to trigger over this.
I want to solve this as a team.

Call the newspaper and request and purchase a copy of the photo. Frame it and put it somewhere prominent in your home!!

Well according to MC I should pray for the OW when I'm triggered. Got nothing to lose, I guess..,,

I pray ow heals enough never to eff up anybody (mainly us) again and to leave us alone forever. I say that prayer to myself whenever I notice myself wishing her harm....

I just realized the prayer gets her out of my head...it really is a good idea, at least for me.

Glad you got the pic, and OMG, so sorry you have to see a constant reminder of her and her family in the newspaper, wtf?

OOOH I have a better idea, call and request the pics of the two OW's that have been in the paper. Get them and have a cathartic, ceremonious destruction party. Have H piss on them, you light them on fire, throw the ashes to the wind, after you thoroughly stomp them to bits. Exorcise those demons. Literally and figuratively.
