My boyfriend's gone to Cancun for the week, and all I can think of is how he's going to hook up with some model-esque PhD holder and break up with me the second he gets back. I realize I'm being (mostly --> it's feeding into the rational parts of me too!) irrational, but I can't seem to make it go away.
Any advice as to how I can get over this? It's only Tues... I have 5 very long days left to go.  |

Well... let me tell ya. When I broke up with the dufus this past summer (my ex-boyfriend who lives across the street.... uh, yes... across the street), I got a French bikini wax to feel sexy. (I started out wanting a Brazilian but went the next step down... the "landing strip"... because I thought I might kill the esthetician about 20 minutes into it.  ) I felt SO SO SO sexy that I couldn't help but giggle every time I saw his pathetic self outside working on one of his blasted race cars. He missed out, and I like that. 
Anyway... do something to make yourself feel really sexy. That way, you'll feel good for now, and when he gets back, he'll be reminded of what he missed for a week! I'm thinking a racy thong. Fredericks of Hollywood style. |

What about doing some of the facials suggested on the DIY thread? alternatively, a wine night with girlfriends? or even dinner out with girlfriends?
However, don't worry! I bet he is missing you and I bet you are MUCH better looking then the girls in Cancun! It is October so the only people down there are families and such...no college girls! (not saying that college girls look better than you at all!! Just saying they aren’t down there!)
OH! I know: have a mani/peti party! go to your fav. salon! or try new recopies.
Best advice: don't worry....it will only make you feel bad.
Best wishes!! |

| Confidence is everything!!!! Keep busy and do special things for yourself. If he does hook up with someone else you know he is not the right person and need to NEXT! him. Don't let him know that you were the least bit insecure about it and he will appreciate you all the more for it. |

Hi Daisie  I agree with Shelley, a night out or an in-home "spa" party will work wonders! Social activities will not only help you keep up with friends and family, you are less likely to mope in their company. The key is to expand your world so that you can put the situation in proper perspective. Hang in there! |
