I usually spend most of Saturday with DP, and I love it because he usually has loads to do and doesn't stop for the night until about ten, so we end up staying up late just to spend time together.

Today he spent the day with his son (who pops in and out all weekend, he doesn't not spend time with him normally, but they don't usually go out all day. Anyway, they went on some sort of adventure trail with other lads and dads, had a great time etc etc. Anyway, I was looking forward to him coming back, they were an hour later than they'd said, and when he got back and I went over to his house, my brother was ensconsed on the couch showing no signs of moving, and DP's son was still there, also welded to the couch.

I sat down for a bit, asked quietly what the plans were, and DP was a bit non-commital, "stuff to do here" etc. I kind of muttered what was the point of me going over if I wasn't going to see him properly and that I may as well go back home and see him when he was ready. I sort of grumbled out of the house (my bro and dss were busy nattering and didn't hear anything) and stalked off. I'm sitting on my own at home watching Breakfast At Tiffany's and kind of hoping he'll ring or come over but I'm nearly at the end of the movie and he hasn't chased me to say how deeply wrong he was not to give me his undivided attention...I am BU aren't I? But I just wanted to see him without everyone else and I've missed him all day and I think I have PMT and want to cry pathetically. My kids are off at the ex's and I'm on my own and feeling crap. Unless I can snap out of this then Saturday Night Kid-Free Madness together is going to start a bit frostily...

Come and slap me then, I can take it! What am supposed to do now? Wait it out and pretend I'm not bothered? Or ring and be cheery or what? I'm not normally given to sulking...

Aw! Ring him.I couldn't believe this was your op - I didn't think you did sulking!

EccentricaGallumbits · 27/06/2009 18:18

win, chocolate, finish breakfast at tiffany's then ring and be cheery.

have more wine, then wild sex.

BitOfFun · 27/06/2009 18:20

I know, I know, I'm being a spoilt child today, waaaaargh! I just wanted him to myself

I think I do feel PMTish though.

cornsilk · 27/06/2009 18:21

I like the wine and chocolate idea!

BitOfFun · 27/06/2009 18:23

Is it too early for wine? I could open a bottle and have a little snifter I suppose...and there is a lonely Rocky bar in the fridge...it might just work?

cornsilk · 27/06/2009 18:23

No kids = time for wine.

BitOfFun · 27/06/2009 18:26

OMG, Audrey Hepburn has just described herself as "fat as a pig"...there is no hope is there? < sob >

MadameDefarge · 27/06/2009 18:27

have wine, and chocolate, then send a saucy text a bit later...(make like the grumpy departure never happened)

Kimi · 27/06/2009 18:28

Give me wine, chocolate and a good film over a man any day

MadameDefarge · 27/06/2009 18:28

audrey has a lot to answer for, imo.

but she is sooooo beeeooootiful..

BitOfFun · 27/06/2009 18:31

Right, just went into the kitchen for wine, and the dog has had diarrhoea all over the bloody floor I mopped this morning to pass some time in my miserable manless day - waaaaaaaaiiiiiilllll !

I am SO having wine after clearing this up...

OP posts:

MadameDefarge · 27/06/2009 18:33

oh, that is so unfair....

cornsilk · 27/06/2009 18:33

Oh no! Things can only get better now!

MadameDefarge · 27/06/2009 18:35

If it is any consolation, I may well have to give up going to a party tonight, and its only the second one I have been invited to this year....rain means I can't get ds to his dads and it is not stopping.

BitOfFun · 27/06/2009 18:38

Oh bugger! How disappointing! Why can't you get through the rain?

Have wine in hand now

OP posts:

cornsilk · 27/06/2009 18:38

Oh no Madame! Can't his dad come and get him?

MadameDefarge · 27/06/2009 18:40

because it takes nearly an hour to get there, and half of that is walking. Normally a doddle, but I can't frog march him through hail and rain for half an hour....and it is his birthday weekend!

MadameDefarge · 27/06/2009 18:41

dad coming to get him would result in the same bus/walking combo. neither of us drive! (to be fair, we don't need to, living in London)

cornsilk · 27/06/2009 18:41

Oh no! I think you should join BOF in a wine fest.

BitOfFun · 27/06/2009 18:41

Taxi? Just this once?

OP posts:

MadameDefarge · 27/06/2009 18:42

and also, I would look like crap turning up at the party after that marathon, and the next leg of it which also involves buses and walking!

BitOfFun · 27/06/2009 18:43

Audrey looks very fetching all rain-sodden now...maybe you could work that look?

God I would love to do a taxi, but just bought ds his birthday present of an eye-wateringly expensive nintendo dsi and have to pay for bowling lane party tomorrow, so £20 on a taxi is not doable...grrhhh.

MadameDefarge · 27/06/2009 18:45

alack, alas, about twenty years too old for the rain-sodden ingenue look....

MadameDefarge · 27/06/2009 18:46

I might, however, risk a dash to the off-licence for necessary grog to get me through the disappointment...
