👋 Fleas

Have you silenced him Frown, for good?

DogHairEverywhere · 16/06/2019 21:17

Frown, your last update sounds quite sinister. Do you need an alibi?

thislido · 16/06/2019 21:35

Frown Tell us about being trapped. And why you have an incident reference from last year.

nakedscientist · 16/06/2019 22:30

Oh lord, Jesus and all the angels ( triangles) and saints, most notably St Dangly of tassels. I've GONE BACK ON THE FAT THREAD

I've been a little goady re car use, sorry.

pineapplebryanbrown · 16/06/2019 22:35

I have hidden the thread, they don't deserve me.

DanglyTassles · 17/06/2019 00:03

I've been out, come back and still i had to go there!

Thisters we will prevail!

As per my Saintliness! All is well I feel profound and spiritual so it must be ok ...

pineapplebryanbrown · 17/06/2019 00:06

I can't unhide the thread now. Have you sprinkled relics everywhere St DT? Don't give nothing away for nothing.

DanglyTassles · 17/06/2019 00:29

I am listening Thigh how can we monitorize?

pineapplebryanbrown · 17/06/2019 06:15

Santa Danglia we hook you up to several hoses which captures Every Breath You Take - as well as farts and piss. You can wear my crown 👑.

Frownette · 17/06/2019 06:35

Think Dangly is delighting (was going to put revelling but couldn't remember how to spell it) in her new sainthood!

Ex will be ok, it's just that my nerves get shot to shit when he goes off on one about how I'm the devil incarnate.

Anyway I have Tracy on standby...

ProjectGainsborough · 17/06/2019 07:36

Hm frown can you disengage? He sounds worrying.

pineapplebryanbrown · 17/06/2019 07:57

Santa Danglia is used to being revered, it's piss off a whores crack to her.

Unhud the fat thread. Must go on a diet, for myself.

Frownette · 17/06/2019 08:12

Proj I honestly can't talk to anyone in RL about this as they start screeching with laughter at what he comes out with.

I don't find it that funny myself. I'll try to dig out a few choice titbits later about what he's on about, he gets me like a cat on a hot tin roof with his accusations.

I didn't mean this to be a real advice clinic!! Anyway, coffee, work.

thislido · 17/06/2019 08:14

Frown your ex doesn't sound OK at all. If you don't want to tell us about what happened it's fine, and by all means call the police if you're not safe. But don't stay in tantalising contact because you're fond of him. If you're fond of him let him get on with his life and get on with yours. You can remain fond of someone at a distance, you don't have to keep prodding the embers of feeling by being in touch. You might be getting some kind of validation from contact, but you'll manage without, I promise.

thislido · 17/06/2019 08:15

That was a cross post. We do d real advice on occasion.

pineapplebryanbrown · 17/06/2019 08:19

Frown on some level are you afraid to cut contact?

Did you say you have a new partner?

OP posts:
Frownette · 17/06/2019 08:34

Got married since (ex doesn't seem to register this) but feel like I married the wrong one. Ex has bipolar which probably explains just as I feel the dust is settling he pops up every couple of months bitterly telling me how evil I am. I'll dig out the texts later so you can see what I mean

DanglyTassles · 17/06/2019 09:14

Frown I had all this for years from my ex-husband. All sorts of abuse because I wouldn't go back to him. I couldn't block him because I had my kids with him. If I could have done I'd have blocked all contact.

Anyone who tells you how evil you are or traps you for hours is not healthy to have in your life as I'm sure you realise. He may have mental health issues but his will impact upon your own mental health if you let him push and pull you this way and that. You are not his health care professional and are not obligated to try to fix him, he must seek treatment and support from healthcare professionals. Your purpose in life is not to prop him up or allow him to project his issues onto you, he needs to seek support elsewhere and let you live your life in peace.

nakedscientist · 17/06/2019 09:19

frown in all honesty, I think you married the right one!

thislido · 17/06/2019 10:13

Yup, everything DT said. I'd add that it's not just not your responsibility to prop him up, it's also not possible to - he has to find a way to do that for himself, with the appropriate professional help. That doesn't mean he's a terrible person - he's a human being who's clearly suffering and no doubt has some good qualities, but none of that changes the fact that you can't fix him.

It might be worth thinking about how not being able to contact you might be more helpful for him in the long run, as he's clearly not in a happy place with regards to the end of the relationship. As a veteran of several broken hearts I can say categorically that lack of contact makes it easier to move on. It's just clearer for everyone.

You might well have married the wrong one, but it's not a choice between the two of them and the ex definitely isn't the right one! If your relationship with your current husband isn't quite right then it will make it more likely that you will hanker after whatever was good from the old relationship.

pineapplebryanbrown · 17/06/2019 10:13

Frown do you have children with him?

Reginald excellent moat work, I love it. Is 4 moats enough? Perhaps a 5th with one of those lazy rivers vibes? It floats round and so do you on your rubber ring. They have double rubber rings so that's you and me sorted Naked.

OP posts:
M3lon · 17/06/2019 10:13

frown that really sounds very difficult. I also don't think you married the wrong one.

I just got caught attempting to slink in the back way by my boss. Its not a great start to the week....

pineapplebryanbrown · 17/06/2019 10:15

M3 your boss clearly needs our services, I vote we batter him and chuck him in our shark moat.

OP posts:
thislido · 17/06/2019 10:16

I love the moats too and a lazy river would be nice and a water slide. My moat will be ambient rather than artic.

M3lon · 17/06/2019 10:17

Now I have to go and pretend I have the first idea how to fire up a Raspberry-Pi in front of some students...

In reality I'm acquainted with the people who founded Raspberry-Pi, hence deliberately knowing nothing about them and never EVER owning one (both awful in their early twenties though I'm sure they've turned into something resembling human being since).

I wonder if the students will be impressed by this kind of name dropping...I think probably not....I think they will eat me alive....

If I could have a few thisters on speed dial ready to rescue me from any cupboards I might get locked in then that would be great.
