1. I’m not waiting for a knight on a white horse to come rescue me because I don’t need to be rescued to begin with!
2. Please stop saying “God will pay you” because I didn’t lose anything!
3. Please stop asking “If I regret getting married” because if I never did, I wouldn’t have my baby!
4. Please stop telling me “you’re so strong, how did you do it?” I’ve been knocked down, broken, and injured, but I survived like everyone else, not because I’m a superhero but because that’s just what time does … Cure!
5. Please understand that it does not bother me when you talk about your children, your husband or your family … what I have been through does not make me bitter and I am definitely not envious!
6. When I go to a wedding and between the bride, please do not look at me with sympathy and let me enjoy the wedding without throwing those pitying looks at me as if I lost an arm.
7. When the couple begins to dance and I cry, please do not hold my hand or hug me because I do not remember my wedding day and I am in mourning, I am simply happy for the couple and I wish they had better luck than mine . !
8. Please stop asking me “How are you?” or “Are you holding on?” And when I say I’m fine, I mean I’m fine, please don’t start acting like a psychiatrist!
9. Please stop asking me “what will I do now?” Or “how will I manage being a single mom?” … I am not a fortune teller, I live my life day by day!
10. Please stop setting me up with divorced men, widowers or men who have no jobs … My situation did not lower my standards or expectations!
11. NO, I will not remarry just to have a man under my roof because “This is life” or “You need a man”, so stop giving that advice!
12. YES, I still believe in falling madly in love, living a fairy tale and being happily ever after and NO, now I don’t hate men!
13. Please stop asking me “Do you think someone will accept you with a baby?” I don’t know, but that’s the way it is, and honestly, I don’t care!
14. When I see you and your spouse somewhere, don’t assume that I am now a home wrecker and want to rob your husband.
15. Please don’t ask me “When will you get married again?”, I swear to God when I get asked everything I think: “Hmmm, I’ll be married in 3 days, 8 hours and 25 minutes, sorry”. you are not invited !!!!
16. Please don’t be surprised when I say “My next wedding”, YES, I will have another wedding, are you kidding me? How many girls ever have 2 weddings? I consider myself lucky!
17. Please don’t tell me “Don’t wear a white dress at your next wedding, it’s the color of purity” … What the hell does that mean? Am I somehow not pure now?
18. For all the weirdos in our society, please don’t expect me to be an easy woman now, I’m still a good girl and my dad raised me right!
19. Please don’t assume that I am weak and sad, while I can be superior and happy like any other human being!
20. Please stop asking me “Do you hate your ex?” My ex is not my favorite person, but NO, I do not hate him and I certainly do not wish him death. I’ve been married to my best friend from college for 10 years, I had a fairy tale come true but sadly it didn’t work out, simple as that!
