Post-Termy

Grabbing a beer at the airport AFTER you have already landed at your final destination.

I grabbed a post-termy when I landed so I could delay my arrival home. If I left right away, I would have had to put the kids to bed and I just couldn’t deal tonight!

mental termites

Mental termites are words or arguments that slowly chip away at your self-worth, hitting you exactly where it hurts. If your brain is getting mental termites from a relationship, you must be in a relationship with a narcissist.

Me looking in mirror - I can't even believe that he cheated on me and told me it was my fault because I had to work late. I improved his life in every possible way. Now all the bad memories are bringing me down like mental termites.
