Dear Lauren:

Having realized how important it is for you to be socially acknowledged as part of a couple (an integral concept behind official engagements-to-marry and getting married, the ring for all to see…), promise to yourself that in your next relationship you will be socially acknowledged and that you will not be involved in a relationship otherwise. And so, this non-acknowledgment, in practical terms, is a thing of the past.

If you’d like to share about your undealt issues stemming from your divorce, please do.
