... I need to do something, anything... you know the routine if you've read the previous posts.
So my life falls apart, husband wants out. And what are the first suggestions to come flying in from concerned friends and relatives?
- Get a haircut - a nice bob
- Maybe some highlights and lowlights
- Get your eyebrows done
- Smarten yourself up - get some new clothes
- New glasses
- Lose some weight
- Have a spa day and pamper yourself
- Get some sexy underwear
Everything will be fine.
I thought everything was fine. Husband tells me one of the reasons for wanting out is that he thought I no longer loved him because I never made an effort. Then I hear back from relatives that they were shocked, 'I had let myself go so much'. Well, where was all this advice and concern years before? Talk about waiting till the horse* has left the stable**! Although, credit where credit is due - Mom did say, often, the things that needed fixing but I didn't listen did I!
So the lessons:
- Mother knows best
- Take a look in the mirror - if you were a stranger would you suggest the person in the mirror smarten up?
- If your other half tells you not to worry, appearance doesn't matter - don't believe them.
- Know your priorities
- Make time for pampering you
* substitute horse for Husband ** feel free to substitute stables for a more fitting word - pigsty?
