Epilogue: redemption through introspection

Address your inner injuries before a lack of self-esteem destroys your prospects for career advancement.

Sometimes I fear that my ex-wife wants me to continue to be sad, lonely, and give her all my money. In other words, she wishes we were still married.

When a marriage begins to fail, and you no longer feel safe in sharing your true self or feelings with your partner, it can seem like the loneliest place on earth. If you were single, you could reach out to others in an appropriate manner, but when you are married, you are constrained. The result is a train wreck of secrecy, and a search elsewhere for the fulfillment and validation that you no longer experience with your spouse. Not surprisingly, pornography, cybersex, gambling, drugs, alcohol and other forms of self-medication become increasingly attractive. When you are single, you can simply join a running club.
