What she didn’t show at the time was that she was currently recently smitten with Momastery blog writer Glennon Doyle.
No complete stranger to getting rid of misfortune, Doyle fought bulimia at a young age and consumed and did drugs in college, ultimately choosing to get sober in 2002 when she got pregnant with her very first kid. (When she learnt she was anticipating, she wed her now-ex-husband, since “I thought it was the right thing to do,” she informedGlamour com.)
“I’d never even kissed a girl, so I had no context for what was about to happen to me,” Doyle disclosed on MamaMia’s No Filter podcast in May2020 “But when Abby strolled in the space, I’m informing you, it resembled that [inner] voice that I had actually been practicing hearing and trusting [after my separation] simply yelled. My entire self resembled ‘there she is,’ and I felt in one’s bones.”
About a month later on they began corresponding, Doyle remembered, and a month after that, “I sat down with Craig and said, ‘It’s over. I’m in love.’ By the way, Abby and I had never seen each other outside of that room. We spent 10 minutes together and then dismantled our entire lives to be together.”
As Wambach remembered to the New York Times, “We couldn’t have been a worse fit for each other. Glennon had a husband and three children and lived in Naples, Fla. I’d been sober for a month, my marriage was falling apart, I’d just left my soccer career of 30 years and I lived in Portland, Ore.”
