33. I am so sorry that you are hurting.

This is really, really, tough, I know. And the hurt will be around a while. But try to see it as a ticket to your freedom from a man who doesn't appreciate you.

Do this to help yourself get over him: Think of his least attractive qualities and put it together into a catch-phrase. Such as, Chad the "flabby, self-righteous, milquetoast" or whatever fits. You don't have to tell anyone else, just keep the nickname to yourself.

And then promise to be your own best friend and to take good care of yourself!
