The candles are lit.
Your phone is face-up on the counter because you don’t want to miss his text. 

"I'm on my way" 

You’ve done your hair, sprayed perfume, slipped into the nightie that made him lose his mind.
You tell yourself tonight will be different, that this time, he’ll follow through.

Hours...

 Every October, women start lying to themselves: "I'll end it in January."

Sarah did it for three years straight.

The first year, she convinced herself one more holiday season wouldn't matter. She'd already invested two years...what was a few more months? She spent Thanksgiving refreshing her p...

The night she finally left him…

She didn’t feel powerful.
She felt sick. Shaky.

Your heart races. That familiar rush floods your system, the one that makes you feel chosen, desired, important. He was th...

You lock eyes for a second, and then he looks right through you. Maybe he turns away to talk to someone else. Maybe he checks his phone. Maybe he stands closer to his wife. But one thing is clear: he isn’t going to acknowledge you.

And in that moment, you feel like you’ve been erased.

Not because it ran its natural course or because you both came to your senses, but because when push came to shove and he had to choose between his wife and you, well... let's just say you'...

Let’s talk about the slowest heartbreak on earth.

I call it Death by 1000 Cuts, and if you’ve ever been “the other woman,” you’ve probably felt like the queen of a very tragic kingdom.

Here’s how I picture it:

It reminds me of the Iron Throne from that popular series Game of Thrones. You know, th...

So there you are, gazing at your phone with the dreamy expression of a woman who's just received a text from what you're convinced is the most extraordinary man who ever walked the earth. He's not just any man—oh no. He's sophisticated, mysterious, emotionally unavailable in the most romantic way po...
