The Woman Who Follows You
She can make or break your life…and your children’s lives, during a divorce.
The influence of a woman, any woman, is not to be denied. Good, bad, pure, innocent, worldly-wise, and cunning…they all have power. It’s less about what kind of power we have and more about how we wield such power that is important. I know this because I have learned the hard way. Because during my divorce, the kind of woman who attached herself to my soon-to-be-ex mattered….and in a big way.
This morning, I was reading an article that asked the question of whether or not we should warn other women about our exes. I was laughing to myself and said, “Not a chance in hell. She deserves him.”
But that’s really not true. I sometimes wish I could be mean to people. But I can’t. My ex’s girlfriend and I have a common acquaintance. After my ex dumped (or was trying to get her to submit), this girlfriend, I reached out to this common acquaintance. I told her to tell the now ex-girlfriend to be careful and that he was not who he claimed to be. I tried.
But they got back together and are living their “happily ever after” life. I don’t give one single fuck about them, really. I wish they would go away and stop tormenting us by showing up in weird places without warning.
