to dump OH after he has really enhanced my life?

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?

Better hold on to what you've got I always say.

TalcAndTurnips · 29/10/2011 23:23

Just a polite request, Mighty; now you've got a bit of dosh, please please think about investing in some singing lessons.

For those of us with a reasonably musical ear, no amount of black eyeliner and monumental wedge haircuts will make up for being slightly flat all the fecking time.

I think we'll give it a shot.

zingzillachinchilla · 29/10/2011 23:24

Howling - working for your man, are you? Bringing home your pay for love? It's tough. All that crying in the night, too - blardy exhausting

Thanks for disclosing shadows Smile

In the 80s -

My hair wouldn't flick
I wasn't allowed spray on jeans
I thought banana yellow dungarees in cotton were cool

None of it my fault.

Don't you dare tell me I don't hate the 80s Angry

I used to do welding... it was a bit of a crap job though...

there is nothing, but your fears, but then the silent tears of pride take over..

HowlingWereWolfBitch · 29/10/2011 23:30

Awk freaky just feel the music. Close you eyes and feel the rhythm.

squeakyfreakytoy · 29/10/2011 23:34

sometimes I feel I've got to run away

HowlingWereWolfBitch · 29/10/2011 23:35

Don't leave me this way squeaky. I can't survive :(

Lucyinthepie · 29/10/2011 23:35

The love we share seems to go nowhere.

ShadowsCollideWithPeople · 29/10/2011 23:36

Bollocks. Now I'm gagging to stick on some Bon Jovi and dance in my living room. [hangry] [hgrin].

Zigzag, the 80's were the decade that caused me to want a Rainbow Brite dress, highlights, and a perm. For my First Communion. So I kind of simultaneously love and hate the 80's.

MightyOakey · 29/10/2011 23:38

As much fun as this is, I am super cross that you lot spoiled it so soon.

If you hadn't I could've hooked some more suckers like Agent.

[grr]

You feckers.
