The Secrets Behind Why Women Over 35 Give No F*cks.

Many of us have been married. Many of us have been divorced and even remarried… and if you’re me, that would be married, divorced, married, divorced. Love may have left the building, but we know it’s just a matter of time before love kicks the front door down and takes us on another adventure.

After years of numbing myself to the cancer and pretending everything was okay, it felt good to allow my anger to flow like a river; unfortunately, he was the recipient of that bottled-up rage, and it slowly chipped away at our connection. He grew tired of my outbursts, I grew resentful of his ...
