If you want to do something to that makes you feel better why not treat yourself to a spa day or a movie you've been wanting to go see? Do something nice for yourself. Put yourself first.

This is the sort of thread that dubious counselors should read. Some apparently think,we're just a bunch of amateur meddlers. This keeps me here.

So I'm texting with an old friend. He's gay - fully, totally, completely. We share beauty routines, guy talk, etc. He also lives on the other side of the country.
This is a MUCH better outlet!!
Thanks again everyone. I'm certain I'm be knee deep in some situation that would haunt me forever. Thanks to all my superheros

Way to go pp! Beauty tips are awesome and make you feel great about yourself. It beats going out and cheating. Proud of you for making the better call.

Such great advice.
This is the sort of thread that dubious counselors should read. Some apparently think,we're just a bunch of amateur meddlers.
True indeed.
No matter how painful, life either adapts or it dies.

I'm bumping this for 2 reasons:
First - a HUGE thank you to all the superheroes that swooped in and saved me from making a VERY bad decision. There is no getting even, and I know this. I could go out with every man out there (single, of course!) and it wouldn't change what WH did. It wouldn't take away the insecurity or the pain. It just wouldn't. Nothing will. There is no getting even, there is only going deeper in the hole.
Second - Everyone always says when things are bad, post! Well, I did, and it stopped me from making what I knew was a big mistake but I was so 'in the moment' that it sounded like a double win - hurting WH and getting an ego boost - instead of the major loss it would have been for me.
SI is just awesome!! Thanks for always being here
