Her marriage had become boring;
she no longer loved her husband.
She decided she needed her freedom
and another shot at lasting, romantic love.
After the divorce, she posted alluring photos of
herself on social media,
joined dating apps, had a hundred men
vying for her attention.
After dozens of disappointments, married men,
men who were users, one night stands, etc,
she became emotionally hardened and grilled
potential dates as if they were applying for a job.
Bitter, feeling used, growing older, she hated
the dating apps but still used them,
and she missed the stability of her failed marriage,
wondered if she should have tried harder to salvage it.
