Today’s guest post is from Leslee. ***** My ex was such an accomplished liar that on our six-year anniversary he told me that he had never been happier and I believed him. One month and six days later he told me he wanted a divorce… This announcement changed my entire world. I had been recently promoted at work [...] I received the following message today, and since I am a big fan of coaching, I can’t wait to hear your responses! ***** Last week, a reader left the following comment: “I won’t try to say that my own experience is any more real or true than yours, because I know that it’s not.

Since I am a) youngish, b) divorced, c) a writer, and d) living near Minneapolis, this was a must-see. Plus, I am fascinated by the film’s screenwriter, Diablo Cody, who came [...] |
