The weekends of a mistress
Most of us look forward to the weekend.
It’s a time to relax, unwind, spend time with family, go hang out with friends… You know… regular stuff that makes us happy.
We could have a gathering, maybe a BBQ, play some music, chill with friends, and catch up with each other, talk about what we have been up to, who has been doing what (or whom) at work, and have a good laugh… You know… regular stuff that makes us happy.
Maybe you have planned to escape for the weekend. Maybe camping with a small group of friends. Going boating with mates. Fishing with your bestie. Breakfast at the Mall, while having a good old catch up… You know… regular stuff that makes us happy.
Yes, weekends are fun.
Everybody looks forward to the weekend. Right?
Well I agree, weekends are great…NOW.
But there was a time when I didn’t look forward to the weekends.
I didn’t want to be invited to another party or BBQ, that I would inevitably turn down.
I WANTED to go, but I couldn’t pretend I was having fun anymore.
I didn’t want to feel like the third wheel, or the odd one out at a gathering.
Yes, for some the weekends are not fun.
Weekends suck, when you are “the other woman” in his life.
That’s when you feel most alone.
That’s when he doesn’t call you on his way to work in the morning.
That’s when he doesn’t send that cute emoji at lunchtime.
That’s when he doesn’t visit on his way home from work.
That’s when he can’t “work late” in the evening at the office.
That’s when he looks the other way if you happen to end up in the same shopping center on Saturday morning.
That’s when you know, you are not number 1 in his life.
At least not yet, but there IS hope… because he has said as much.
“It won’t always be like this. I just need some time to… (fill in whichever BS excuse you want), and then we can be together.”
So yes, I look forward to the weekends now, but my heart breaks for the many women who don’t.
And if this resonates with ONE woman out there this weekend, all I want to say is… I see you.
Sending love and light,
Annie
