[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So shocked at what my life has become. I was always considered good-looking and smart, came from an affluent family, went to a top women's college and then an Ivy League law school, met the perfect man there - hot, smart, also from an affluent family, totally great to me. We get jobs at firms in the same city, we're in love, we get married, everything is going great. Then this year, I lose my job because I haven't been billing enough hours and bringing in clients, and also find out that he's been cheating on me for 2 years, he claims he doesn't love me at all, and we're on the brink of divorce.

I am just not sure what is happening. My life wasn't supposed to go like this.[/quote]

OP, I'm so very sorry for what is going on in your life.  It sounds really difficult and I hope you can pick yourself up and come out stronger than ever.

I think many people feel that their life doesn't proceed like they thought it was supposed to.  I am not diminishing your pain, just want you to know you are not alone.  As for me, I lost 4 babies in the womb.  Really wanted 3-4 kids starting in my late 20s, but ended up with 2 children later in life because of the years of infertility. One of them is special needs and really makes our home life difficult.  Plus I've had pretty rare health issues my entire life, and it will only get worse as I age. I may at some point be wheelchair bound.  Sometimes I have to stop myself from wallowing in bitterness and concentrate on all the positives I've enjoyed over the years and to focus on gratitude for what I do have, not dwell on what I don't.

Hang in there.  It will get better.[/quote]
