Rivals tv show has upset me so much

[allistrvealed]

I know everyone has loved this . And so have I .
But I find myself being David Tennants wife and feeling I've sold myself short as far as relationships go.
When I saw the New Year's Eve party and his wife being completely ignored I so related to this. I have had that exact experience many times
I have been married to a man for 25 years . I was besotted with him and I think he managed to appear normal so we married. but we have no sex life . We have no couple friends so we only do things socially separately
He isn't interested in me at all but I am financially tied and also cowardly
I am so so lonely but feel I'm too old now and I am also physically very unattractive to make changes.
Not really expecting anything from this post just felt sad watching this YV show ( alone as usual))

Bloody hell woman, please don't admit defeat without even trying to get out and have a life!
Go to salsa evenings, join a choir (they often go to the pub after - in fact join anything that involves going to the pub after)
It's past my bedtime and my brain has shut down, but please don't give up. Find people who appreciate you. Someone will 💐

Haven’t seen the show, but I always have a very strong reaction when I watch Industry. Although it’s obviously dramatised and glamourised, I find it really spooky how well it captures the way I felt when I first started working in the City - it’s like they based some of the characters on former colleagues and/or friends, and took parts of the plot line straight out of my life. It makes me feel anxious, nostalgic, and really understood all at the same time. I have to be in the right headspace to watch it, otherwise I can end up in quite a sad place mentally!

However, I try to focus on the “feeling understood” part of it - it’s good TV if it stirs something in you and if you can relate. And maybe, just maybe, it can also make you feel less alone knowing that you’re not the only one going through this. Can you try and focus on feeling seen rather than feeling dejected?

Sounds like it’s time to put on a mindless comedy now! All the best, OP.

In what way are you unattractive? We all age, but we don't all have to let ourselves go. Put up a fight against age, keep active and fit fir yourself. People who value themselves by finding themselves are the ones who get the gumption to leave or force change. Until you get happy with yourself, nothing changes, but that is within your control.
