Our Very Own Post Secret: Part 2

Started by S.I.F. , author of Single Infertile Female: Now What? 5/28/2010 5:20:41 PM

For those of you were around (almost two months ago now), we had a thread of secrets that was pretty incredible. It was both heartwarming and heart wrenching at the same time, but it was a way for the women here to get a few things off their chests. I was fascinated by that thread, as I think most everyone here was. I was also a little heartbroken by it, but I think it was well worth the effort and sadness for the outlet it provided.

I’ve had a few e-mails over the last month asking me to start another, and I was going to just give it another month so that everyone could have new secrets build up. After popular demand though, this will now be how I will be spending my weekend! (Just kidding! I have lots of outdoor plans this weekend, but this thread will be the one I’m focusing on otherwise).

So here is how it works - You send your secrets to this e-mail address: singleinfertilefemale@yahoo.com. I will post them as I get them (and when I am home) anonymously and numbered. Anonymously, because you deserve your privacy, and numbered because then people can respond directly to specific secrets (i.e. “Number 15, I’ve been there too”.)

My promise to you is this: I will not ever reveal who tells which secrets, and I will not respond in any way to your e-mail unless you specifically ask me to. There will be no judgments, lectures, or words of wisdom from me at all. I think most of the women here can attest to the fact that I kept my word 100% the last time around.

This is for you to get some things off your chest and realize that you are not the only one struggling. It is all about you. Each and every one of you.

So if you didn’t get to participate last time, or if you’ve had some new secrets crop up along the way; now is your chance.

Let the secrets begin.

Earlier this week I was buying some new clothes and the clerk was rushed and kind of rude. I realized she was giving me too much change  as she was doing it, but I didn’t say anything. Even as I was walking away, I was thinking that I should go back and giver her the extra back. I worked in retail. I know she will be held accountable for that.

I have a crush on a married man. I have never acted on it and I don’t think I ever would but I do have feelings for him.


3.

I feel like I’m not very strong in my faith. I question what I’m doing a lot. I follow the rules and am a good person, but a lot of times I wonder if it will really be worth it in the end. What if the end is really just the end, and then I spent my whole life living by someone elses rules?

Person #1 - There were a couple of times that I can remember when I was younger that I accepted too much change.

My husband has no desire to go on a diet or to work out but he is now taking 4 expensive prescriptions to combat problems caused by his weight.  I still haven't had the heart to tell him that I am not attracted to his "new body" and have been blaming the lack of intimacy on the kids instead.

#4, so sorry you're in the spot.  I've been thinking about this a lot too.  My hubby isn't too overweight but really could stand to shape up...but I don't know how to approach it----because I know how I would take someone saying that to me!  But I had thought about reading a new book and maybe making healthier choices for us that force him to cut back in some areas.

Either way, good luck!

I can't figure out if it's anger or jealousy but it bothers me to no end to see naturally fit and beautiful girls (especially those I work with) who don't take care of themselves.  They eat terrible food, never exercise, and have completely expendable wardrobes.  I work my ass off and feel like I only have cellulite and last season's wardrobe to show for it.  I'll never understand this.


6.

I'm scared of getting pregnant in the future because I know my husband will find me disgusting and for him to cheat on me while I was pregnant would be the final kick to the gut.

Holly- I think leading by example is always a great way to go about something like that instead of broaching the sensitive subject.

At work a few weeks ago a group of disabled women came in with their caregiver. Their caregiver was more than brutal to them. I didn't say a word about it even though my insides hurt watching how they were being treated. I chose to instead over charge her for products and hide free stuff into the bags she had designated for the disabled women. I still feel guilty for not saying anything to the caregiver.
