[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can confirm that a long term marriage with infidelity is a targedy-but she acts like this was so unqique and extra devastating and now she's learned so much.

Her situation:
Older kids and nearly empty nesting
Supportive parents and siblings all nearby
Supportive friends
Self employment that allows her to not go in somewhere and be dependent on a boss
A nice amount of money to begin-she wasn't broke and left with no money (clearly with her spending)

Her tragedy is only bad bc her life has been so protected and precious that a common plight, "took her out". I'm so tired of hearing her still talk about this 3 years later as if she was the most devastated and self made her way back up top.  Please.  She stumbled--didn't go crashing down until she turned her self employment into a ridiculous circus by abandoning her only discernible skill (preaching and teaching bible)[/quote]

I disagree with this. I think this takes you out for years, and the best possible terrible situation is still a terrible situation. If anything, I think the problem is she didn't take *enough* time. This generally takes years of recovering and regaining your sense of self, your ability to trust others, your confidence in your gut, the rewriting of your memories. She acted like she had skipped through all that and was Fierce Free and Fabulous within a year. [/quote]

Based on unfortunate personal experience, I also disagree. Betrayal trauma can take a very long time to heal. No one is living their best life like Jen after a year. She totally skipped the hard work and launched into glittertown.[/quote]
