The sting that keeps on stinging.


Break ups are never easy.  Even the most amicable break ups are hard.  But what do you do when the break up is bad?  For example, what do you do if your significant other leaves you for someone else?  And what if they not only leave you for someone else, but they leave you when you are pregnant?  And what if they not only leave you for someone else when you are pregnant, but they leave you for a model?  And what if they not only leave you when you are pregnant for a model, but they leave you for a Victoria Secret model?  And what if they not only leave you when you are pregnant for a Victoria Secret model, but they leave you for the highest paid model in the world?  Ouch.

I often wonder how Bridget Moynahan dealt with her break up from Tom Brady.  It’s bad enough to be dumped by someone, but to be dumped by someone who runs into the arms of Gisele Bundchen?  Man that one had to hurt.  While Bridget Moynahan is a very pretty, she is by no means Gisele. 

My sister has a saying “If you are going to cheat, cheat up.”  Basically, she means if you are going to leave me for someone else, make sure they are prettier, richer, and overall just better.  While I agree with her to some extent, part of me thinks it might be better to be left for someone who is clearly beneath you.   At least you can end each day knowing that you won.  They might have left you, but you get the last laugh.  You know that in the back of your ex’s mind they are missing you because what they now have is just not enough.  I’m not so sure Bridget can say the same.

I can’t help but feel sorry for her.  While I am sure she has moved on from their relationship there must be a part of her that thinks “When Tom dated me was he dating down?”  How could that question not cross her mind?   When you break up with someone you always say to yourself “He will never find anyone as good as me.”  But in Tom Brady’s case not only did he find someone as good as her, he found someone way better.  He found Gisele.  He broke up with one model to be with THE model.  And to make matters worse, he married THE model. 

When you are left for someone else, you just know that relationship, the one that is tainted with deceit and betrayal, will never last.  I mean how could it?  How can a relationship that began by leaving your pregnant girlfriend work?  That question haunts me just like the question “How can Gisele still look good in a bikini at 9 months pregnant?” 
I guess sometimes life bites and the sting just keeps on stinging.

The ultimate sting for all women. 
(You have to hand it to that woman.  I would never sit next to Gisele in a bathing suit. 
Even at 9 months pregnant, she still would make me feel self conscious.)
