Very well said! Let’s give her some credit for losing her mind, but what about her friends and family? I mean, they might have offered a shoulder to cry on, but it doesn’t seem they have done more for her, like encouraging her to go into therapy for instance. We have been talking about that for a while now, but I still don’t understand how her situation is getting worse over time when it’s supposed to be the other way around. It’s like she doesn’t want to heal.Honestly... if he did cheat... I don't blame Niomi for losing a couple of braincells & becoming a bit unhinged. When you picture a whole life with a person and then he dips, that must be groundbreaking. You really can get sucked into this trauma if you have no real job and responsibilities.
Did you notice that she seemed more or less okay when she was launching Smart Skin and taking that yoga course? That is because she kept herself on some type of busy schedule, she had some structure to her days. Then the launch happened, yoga course ended, and what Niomi was left with? Her own thoughts. That is when I think it all went downhill. I truly believe a structured life could've pulled her out of it, but nope, her batteries went low too early.
I have met a 50-year-old woman a few years ago who has daddy issues. She told me that even if she’s been in therapy for a long time, she still repeats the same pattern in her love life. She said that her countless disappointments have led her to believe that if a relationship doesn’t work, it would be her fault, also because she doesn’t « deserve » to be loved. My point is: maybe Niomi can’t get over it because she’s been feeling guilty for making Joe break up. And the fact she’s still single 2 years later may also be caused by some trust issues, so she can’t settle down and be truly at peace, even if she wants to. One thing for sure is that the pain is still here, and it has brought about some serious damage to her.
(Wow, the end of this thread already? It went from « new dude, maybe new fiancé? » to « new day, but still boring AF ». Oh Niomi, so little content, so much to talk about.)
