Dunno.

I liked my last word. thought it had a bit of elan. He spoiled it.

minimammoth · 23/02/2011 21:44

Yes. I see what you mean, but it would end up being a sort of game of tennis. I wonder what his agenda was in the beginning especially as he has to 'look after himself.
Do you want to expend more energy on it? He is sounding a bit precious now I think. My advice is to Let Go.

minimammoth · 23/02/2011 21:47

Sorry last post not a comment on the marriage scene. And no Mimi no. Do not depair. I am sure you can find a man with understanding and more depth.

minimammoth · 23/02/2011 21:49

Volatile and vulnerable are part of being human.

MadameDefarge · 23/02/2011 21:51

You're right. Most blokes have had experience of both themselves and girls not paying attention to their alcohol consumption (oh yeah, that'll be because he was snogging me incessitantly )and would be a bit kinder about it.

I feel much much better. Yes, I behaved like a loon. but he did press that last drink on me when i was actually all ready to go. So its his fault.

There. All processed now!

But I am still annoyed at being called volatile and vulnerable. Its so patronising.

minimammoth · 23/02/2011 21:51

Depair. shakes head. 'tis the gin, loosening control of the fingers.

MadameDefarge · 23/02/2011 21:53

I think I shall seek out Ms Mary and take the pledge and devote myself to Good Works.

minimammoth · 23/02/2011 21:54

Mimi he was/is a prat,twat. Go and tear up news paper, whilst shouting 'bastard' etc. That always works for me.

minimammoth · 23/02/2011 21:56

Bugger the pledge, play loud music and jump up and down.

BeribbonedGibbon · 23/02/2011 22:00

simply mail back 'meh'

BeribbonedGibbon · 23/02/2011 22:01

Well imgine doing it. Just ignore mimi.

MadameDefarge · 23/02/2011 22:29

I shall, Gibs, I shall. Ladies, you have all been marvellous, and talked me down from the ledge of self-loathing.

I love IPOAT. I get pissed up and mardy, he ends up being the prize twat.

Jins · 23/02/2011 23:29

Always remember that you weren't called volatile and vulnerable.

Volitile and vunerable were the words. Totally different!

Insane People On A Thread. I kid you not.

Umami · 24/02/2011 07:32

I agree - he can't bear not to have the last word. He has to send the final e-mail so that he is in charge and makes the final decision. It would end up like Wayne's World. "Go then". "I'm going". "Well go then". "I'm gone". "Good".

I think we should steal his power by reclaiming his words as our own. I like volatility and vulnerability. 'There was a volatility and vulnerability there that thrilled and excited me'.

Now for goodness sake, will someone please get Beri down the aisle, we've got about 7 posts left. Someone must think of Nigel!

Hullygully · 24/02/2011 08:52

Mimi, I have words of comfort. Apart from thinking volatile and vulnerable are compliments, I can offer this pithy phrase as said not too long ago to my very dear friend by an exiting man:

You are a financial drain and a social embarrassment.

V&V? Pah!

Hurrah and huzzah, dear Beri!
May your married life be merry
May you gibber and groan
And ne'er be alone
Let's open a bottle of (Dom) Peri!

BeribbonedGibbon · 24/02/2011 08:56

I laughed very loudly at hully's last post.

I am not however, laughing at widow calling me Beri too.

You're a bunch of bastards.

Now marry me off. Post Haste.

BeribbonedGibbon · 24/02/2011 08:57

Ah I see you have. And what a charming groom. [deadpan]

And the interesting thing about what he said, Mimi, was that we all knew him, and her very well, and everything was always about him - but blamed on her.

This is a man who at age 40 plus, got a letter from his Mummy whilst he was on a two week package holiday.
