I'll try to keep this brief.

Smile

I met OH about 5 years ago when I was working in a bar, not really my ideal job, but needs must at that time.

Well, over the last few years being with him, my life had improved in leaps and bounds - I almost feel like someone new.

But now, although I still love him and am grateful for the good times and the opportunities he has given me, I just think it's time I live my life on my own.

He's obviously gutted and there's been some veiled threats, actually I do feel I'd have found a better place without him anyway. But I think he's all bluster and just devastated I don't feel that way anymore.

So WIBU to leave him, or should I stay with him out of obligation and guilt?

Are you working as a waitress in a cocktail bar perchance?

grovel · 29/10/2011 23:02

Is this really about money?

HowlingWereWolfBitch · 29/10/2011 23:03

Dun dun da dun dun, Dun dun dun dun. Dun dun da dun dun, dunna dun dun.

AgentZigzag · 29/10/2011 23:03

Of course don't stay with him out of obligation and guilt.

The way you're talking about your relationship with him is a bit odd though.

Saying you still love him and are grateful for what he's given you, but if you loved him, you wouldn't be able to find a place that's better than being with him?

What's in the better place that you can't have if you stayed with him?

zingzillachinchilla · 29/10/2011 23:03

Don't forget he put you where you are now, and he can put you back again

AgentZigzag · 29/10/2011 23:04

Who could reject Phil Oakley?

GypsyMoth · 29/10/2011 23:06

What has he actually DONE for you though?

TethHearseEnd · 29/10/2011 23:09

I think you should change your mind back otherwise you'll both be sorry. Probably.

AgentZigzag · 29/10/2011 23:09

Make it a large one please worra

Grin

I've always fucking hated that song anyway.

And the rest of the 80's come to think of it...

MightyOakey · 29/10/2011 23:10

He shook me up and turned me around.

Zigzag - course you did love [hwink]

ScarahStratton · 29/10/2011 23:13

Lust's just a distraction...

HowlingWereWolfBitch · 29/10/2011 23:14

No one hates the 80s.

Stop lying.

MightyOakey · 29/10/2011 23:17

But there was passion burning, love so strong.

Perhaps my gratitude should keep us together?

Do you never just feel like you are being boiled though?

ShadowsCollideWithPeople · 29/10/2011 23:19

Oh, thank God I read the other posts on this thread before replying... Was defo not reading it in the spirit in which it was intended, and was preparing serious reply.

HowlingWereWolfBitch · 29/10/2011 23:21

I think your lucky...

DP works on the docks and he's had a really hard time with the union recently. I really want to run away but he's swears we'll make it.

It's tough.

MightyOakey · 29/10/2011 23:22

So tough?
