My personal favorite was the person who said that she could not believe that my current husband would &#8220;let&#8221; me be friends with my ex. There are so many things ridiculous about that statement I am not even sure where to start. I guess the thought that at my age anyone other than me would pick my friends is the most mind boggling! Aside from that inquiry I get lots of other questions and strange looks from people who find it difficult to understand my &#8220;odd&#8221; relationship with someone I used to be married to. <\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Thankfully I have come to terms with being &#8220;odd&#8221;. I have figured out that I have to do what makes ME happy, not what other people think will make me happy. One of my favorite quotes is from Eleanor Roosevelt- &#8220;No one can make you feel inferior without your consent&#8221;. The first time I read that I didn&#8217;t believe it. But I do now and having that knowledge makes being &#8220;odd&#8221; a lot easier to be.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are a lot of things about me that people find odd.
