I’ve had breast cancer twice and have a messed up body after all the surgeries. I am feeling really ugly and in need of validation. I’m happily married and my husband accepts me as is but I feel like I need more than that. I have contacted an old boyfriend who gave me validation in the past. I don’t want anything to happen with him, I just want to feel like I did in the past when he told me he regretted breaking up with me. I feel pathetic about needing this.
