Didn't want to give up, and just living was in consideration.

standingonmarble ( member #31217) posted at 12:28 AM on Thursday, October 31st, 2013

After D-day, I saw an image of a man trying to stand on marbles. Of course you can't stand on marbles and that was how I saw fWH at the time and how he really was. I didn't want to reinforce anymore weakness in myself so I choose standing on marble as a way to encourage strength in myself.

At one time he was a man standing on marbles. Now I am a woman standing on marble.....

We are done fighting with each other and decide to fight FOR each other.

Hope is never lost. It exists within you - it is real. It is not a force in and of itself - it is something that you create with every thought, action, and choice you make. It is a gift that you create for yourself.

So many mysteries come to light! Yay!

Mine is pretty simple. I'm beautiful and it's never mattered one bit. Inside...outside...two different men in marriage and I wasn't enough for either of them.

Now, I'm empty because it's really hard to stay human after 20+ years of almost constant fuckery.

Hopefully I won't always be this way.

The "broken" part is obvious. :( I have danced most of my life, - ballet, tap, theater, etc. I thought "broken dancer" was kind of a word play on "break dancer", although my old ass can't break dance at all! I just like the number 7.

I used a random username generator because I didn't want the username to have any possible link to me.

Well.. I did cheat a bit. I selected the one I found the most amusing out of several.

StruckNumb ( member #38973) posted at 7:06 AM on Sunday, February 2nd, 2014

I've had a lot of early childhood trauma and as a teen identified with the Pink Floyd song, "Comfortably Numb." outside of early abuse (by someone I had lived with then, not my parents), my dad was also a serial cheater. when mom would find out the world became like that song to me. Unreal. Surreal.

I thought I had left such type trauma way behind until I was struck numb again by encountering the email that proved my husband's affair. A very weird moment. It was like I was in the corner of the room watching my body read it.
