@Powerless no as he hadn't been in any situations or anything to cause distress previously and his lampmpost behaviour was a great cause for concern for a few years even before he went to Afghan. The cheeky shit even emailed me last year after 5 years no contact. Stayed in contact as mates for a year ( thought he was the love of my life and have struggled letting go ) but just told him to piss off and leave me alone as I've now met somebody ( and after doing some social media stalking found out he's now engaged )

Powerless · 13/10/2018 00:56

Charlotte Wow! So he was engaged when he got in touch with you?! What an arsehole!!

Charlottesshoezzzz · 13/10/2018 00:57

@Mummylin if you cut the wires you may as well have gone full throttle & bashed the tele up. Felt amazing I tell ya.... also very empowering & well just very good. He deserved it & so did the tele. Forgot to mention he filmed me doing it on his mobile 'apparently as a reminder as to why we can't be together) obviously it wasn't that bad as we've been in contact for a year before me very recently telling him to piss off

Charlottesshoezzzz · 13/10/2018 00:59

He was seeing her casually when he was in contact with me ... I set up a fake profile on Instagram & informed her of his actions just the other day Wink

Thank you - I'm telling myself that all will be fine, she is in the right place, but still, it's hard.
Parenting doesn't get easier, however old your children are. She's 28, her husband is with her, but she still wanted mum.
I'm going to keep everything crossed, and go and buy prem nappies and clothes tomorrow (at her request), so whatever happens, we will be as prepared as possible.

Charlottesshoezzzz · 13/10/2018 01:02

@Mummylin I wish I had that 'restraint' to do something sneaky like cut the wires instead of stood right in front of tele with bulging psycho eyeballs holding a stiletto Confused

Charlottesshoezzzz · 13/10/2018 01:04

Will be thinking of you @pinktransit ... please come back & let us know what happens lovely xXx

Mummylin · 13/10/2018 01:04

I did try to smash it by throwing a glass ashtray at it, but it wouldn't break, hence cutting the wires ! This was back in the years when teles were huge, but screens were small !! And I am not the largest of people so not that strong !

I'm off now, got to get up quite early as my dh going off to Spain for a few days with his pub quiz team and 1 of my brothers. They do this when they have accumulated enough funds from their quiz winnings. Nice to meet you all.
Best of luck to your dd Transit ( not putting the pink cause we already have 1 pink on here )

@Powerless these men that cause that much heartbreak are best left alone. He won't change( and I wouldn't wait about to find out)That's just how he is. As my ex said to me 'he will find someone someday who will accept him for who he is' if you want a cold loveless relationship stay with him, or you can be without the hassle & heartbreak & be happier single. I chose single. All be it I didn't really have much choice after the tele incident Confused

Charlottesshoezzzz · 13/10/2018 01:09

Night night @Mummylin Cake

Charlottesshoezzzz · 13/10/2018 01:17

@Powerless I'm sorry I hope I don't sound too judgemental but you need more than 2 nights a month from your man. Can I ask how you kept your relationship going seeing him so infrequently? Did he live far away?

muvvaov1 · 13/10/2018 02:11

Just the thread for me
:-)

Charlottesshoezzzz · 13/10/2018 02:17

Powerless the right man will probably come along when you are least expecting it Thanksdon't torture yourself staying with someone who doesn't make you happy!

I remember like yesterday how hard I fell for my ex, he was American, I adored everything about him but the emotional thing of not being able to open up & talk about feelings was just too much for me. He drove me insane playing mind games all the time. It took me a while to let go & realise that it just wasn't meant to be. It's difficult but you can do this.

I got the closure I needed when I recently told him to piss off back to the USA & leave me alone & to concentrate on his upcoming marriage!

As brutal as it sounds him coldly telling you what he has done this evening is a clear sign that he isn't for you ( let him go & find another lamp post like my ex has done)

I'm here if you want to chat some more. Although I made the tele incident sound entertaining lol I can assure you I was deeply ashamed of my actions Confused and I now know to avoid lamp post types in the future as they don't bring out the best in me 👊🏻🙄

It's all a learning curve Hun : ) good night x

Morning owls

Hello to new owls

Becca How are you feeling today?

I have a hyper rabbit this morning, I don’t know what the bunny brunch she eats does to her but she has some energy after eating it. Very windy here again today and raining as well so I think it will be an indoor day with the dc today, do some baking and if I can handle the mess might get the painting stuff out.

PinkHeart5914 · 13/10/2018 09:29

Has this table been polished?
