OF COURSE I run into J's xw this morning

[Bernadine]

I look like shit.  I brought my makeup to work this morning to put on at my desk.  I was trying to save time, so I could get in early and avoid the traffic with this storm that's on the way.  And I had just pulled my hair up into a messy ponytail, figuring I'd fix it at work.  EVERY OTHER DAY I COME TO WORK WITH MY MAKEUP AND HAIR DONE.  And of course, she's all skinny and pretty, with her great hair.

I haven't run into her since I started seeing J.  Several thousand people work in this building.  Damn.

Isn't that the way it always goes? She's probably jealous of your confidence to walk out of the house without spending so much time taking care of your appearance like she probably has to do!

I'm sure you still looked better than her. They're divorced for a reason and you're with him now.

Wtf?

Why are they automatically mortal enemies? It's not like the XW necessarily wants him back. I don't think they're competing.

Huh?  Who said that they're mortal enemies?  I'm trying to make her feel better about running into her with no make up on.  Either you're over reacting or I haven't had enough coffee yet.

We're not competing, but it's like when you run into an old boyfriend, you kind of want to look good, right?

At least I'm beautiful on the inside. Lol.

[nicanmatt]

Bern, I've seen you! You truly are gorgeous, with or without makeup and messy hair.

On the inside and out.

[Muddled]

You are gorgeous on the inside and, in my head, you are just as lovely on the outside- make-up or no make-up.

Don't sweat it. It shows confidence and self assurance. This is what I tell myself everytime I run into someone I don't want to see when I am not looking my best, which, let's be honest, is the *only* time I run into those people.

My H's ex commented on his stepdaughter's pictures the other day, so I looked at her profile, and my thought was, "Oh, I am DEFINITELY way prettier than her!"

Shallow, party of 1.

I'm sure you looked way better than you think, hot stuff

And J loves you for who you are, isn't that the most important thing?

I don't understand this response. at all.
