After five years of marriage and having two kids, I barely recognized my own body. My belly was covered in flab, and my skin had gone loose. Of course, my powerful husband cheated on me. He flaunted his affair with a secretary barely in her twenties, openly going everywhere with her. Heartbroken and humiliated, I ran to my wealthy mother and cried my eyes out. She took a drag of her cigarette and scoffed, “He can keep a woman on the side. Why can’t you keep a man? I sponsor a dozen struggling students. Take your pick.” I asked, “Mom, are you telling me to cheat?” She shook her head. “No. I’m teaching you to love yourself.”
