What
she
didn’t
indicate
at
the
time
was
that
she
was
already
newly
smitten
with
Momastery
blogger
Glennon
Doyle.
No
stranger
to
overcoming
personal
issues,
Doyle
battled bulimia
at
a
young
age
and drank
and
did
drugs
in
college,
eventually
deciding
to
get
sober
in
2002
when
she
got
pregnant
with
her
first
child.
(When
she
found
out
she
was
expecting,
she
married
her
now-ex-husband,
because “I
thought
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do,”
she
told
Glamour.com.)
“I’d
never
even
kissed
a
girl,
so
I
had
no
context
for
what
was
about
to
happen
to
me,”
Doyle
divulged
on
MamaMia’s No
Filter
podcast in
May
2020. “But
when
Abby
walked
in
the
room,
I’m
telling
you,
it
was
like
that
[inner]
voice
that
I
had
been
practicing
hearing
and
trusting
[after
my
separation]
just
screamed.
My
whole
self
was
like ‘there
she
is,’
and
I
just
knew.”
About
a
month
later
they
started
corresponding,
Doyle
recalled,
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
recalled
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.”
