He texted the wrong girl!

Yes, what go around, comes around. Karma for sure.
I am the other woman. My lover sent me a text. Didn't make sense...I am older than him, he texted" r u sure you want to do this?", I said "what?", he said "u know". I said "be friends?". he said "yes." I said "why?" He said, "so much older than you..."
that's when I realized that text was meant for someone else. someone he had hooked up with the night before. oh crushed. but really, i guess a blow to my ego was exactly the wake up call I needed to set me straight. when you dabble in the world of affairs...what the hell do you expect? exclusivity? i felt stupid but then realized that it has nothing to do with me...i chose to play in that world, the fact that he had multiple women should not have surprised me at all.
I am in intense therapy and I am opening up some deep seated wounds from my childhood to address the root of why i am driven to get men's attention. if you were looking in from the outside, you would think that I have the most ideal life. something most women dream about. and i am risking it for an addiction.
wish me luck...it is hard and I feel intense feelings of revenge.

Sounds like he's a real winner. Sorry, elinorb1975. Oooh, what could you do for revenge? Seriously, though, the best revenge is living well. Forget this guy. Yuck. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Omg how young is she? Is Chris Hansen from To Catch a Predator
going to show up on their date. Ewww.

Your reply made me smile!
Yeah...my best revenge is moving on and trying to figure out what compels me to play in the world of affairs. My therapy sessions are unearthing a very traumatic childhood which I was really hoping to just bury in a deep grave never to acknowledge again. Guess what? Unresolved childhood trauma is just that...unresolved until you can face it, and purge it. It's hard work, but I am sticking with it.
Thanks!

Respectfully, this guy doesn't sound like a rocket scientist, to be blunt. You'd think your name on the text would be a slight indicator that it's not this other girl.

Not to make light of it, by any means, but still.

You are absolutely right in saying living well is the best revenge. Leave this guy on the curb, and focus on you. I hope things go well in your therapy sessions, and I wish you the best of luck.
