[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m currently separated from my stbxh and I don’t see a reconciliation on the horizon. Among one of the hardest realities here is how my sense of self has changed. If I am not a wife and mother and I do not have a man who actively loves me and commits to me, what am I worth? We receive so much validation in society as women for having been picked by a man, a high value man. And to be a wife and a mother is seen as the highest achievement. You have a lavish wedding and a baby shower to celebrate this milestone. But what if you were never able to hit this milestone or it did not work out. I’m feeling pretty terrible about it. 💔[/quote] Yikes. Get yourself into therapy STAT. The fact that you received any validation for having been picked by a high value man is pretty disgusting, honestly. My husband is amazing (tall, rich, funny, smart, handsome, etc.) but not once have I thought that that's a reflection of me. Jeez.[/quote]
