[quote=Anonymous]I'm 45 and divorcing. People keep telling me I'm glowing. Interesting, because I'm still wearing jeans and a tee-shirt and no make-up.

Part of it is primal. Your inner cavewoman is like, "Oh no, you might starve to death, put out attractive vibes and see if a caveman will come protect you."

Part of it is depression . . . I didn't choose to lose 40 pounds, I just couldn't eat. Now I'm not depressed but 40 pounds lighter.

Honestly part of it is just the stunning realization that I don't have to smile and nod at anyone if I don't want to. I have lifetime alimony and I don't need to please some fool just to be OK. In fact, some fool is paying me [i]not[/i] to please him! So I am free. And naturally, that kind of attitude draws people to you.

I'm in a divorce support group of 6 women and 1 man. I made the mistake of telling the group how the first thing I cried about when he left me was how much I like having sex, and how I guess I'll have to get a part-time boyfriend to solve that problem. The one man (at least 20 years older than me, not in my league at all) was falling over himself to tell me that I will have no problem on the dating market. Here is a woman who just wants sex, and no fuss, and she has money . . . line up gentlemen.

I was like, um sir, obviously I know this already. It's pretty obvious. I never said I had a self-esteem problem. My problem will be picking a worthy man.[/quote]
