my suitor left his partner of 14 years recently. He claims they were not legally married.

I told him i think it too soon for him to be entering into a courtship. He believes otherwise.

I have told that if he is as serious about me as he claims he his, i expect to be introduced to his ExP and children.

AIBU?

Oooh Maryz You tease, you. I was just about to log off and do some useful RL but I have to stay here now. Grin I have important research to do.

gilly86 · 09/03/2013 13:42

I agree... Maryz! This thread was just winding down and now I NEED MORE INFO.

pigsDOfly · 09/03/2013 14:13

Please let this be winding down gilly, I need to take the dog for a walk.

Will look in later though, just in case. I too need more info.

Thank you all for making me laugh out loud.

I want to exchange a vowel with someone!

I've got the letter O.

Who wants to swap?

Chesntoots · 09/03/2013 15:34

Hi gilly, I have an "a" if you are interested...

gilly86 · 09/03/2013 15:36

I've already got an A!

I'm desperate for a U! They're hard to get! Rare!

OP Are you in possession of a reasonable stipend?

BOF · 09/03/2013 16:05

I'm interested in his pile, Linerunner.

YellowStickers · 09/03/2013 16:05

Just had to pop back in to see whether you're going to be taken up the aisle or not. I reckon not and I also reckon you're going to be a little tease, OP by not letting us know the outcome.

YellowStickers · 09/03/2013 16:13

I am so hurt - two of my posts have been deleted. I can't begin to think why.

LineRunner · 09/03/2013 16:14

I think this bloke's after your assets, OP.

YellowStickers · 09/03/2013 16:21

Apparently, OP has seven nieces & nephews, not to mention seven god children I got this info from a previous thread of hers. She will soon be able to add 4 step children to the list wahey!

stifnstav · 09/03/2013 16:23

I once went to a church were, instead of shaking hands and saying Peace Be With You, they kissed on the cheek!

Good lord! Still agog at that twenty years later.

OP, where did you meet him? Do you have any mutual friends in whom you could confide? And ask qs of course.

Buzzardbird · 09/03/2013 16:32

No-one heard the chat up line about exchanging vowels then?

"If you have an I we could put U and I together"

Then we could go 'stepping out' Smile

IneedAgoldenNickname · 09/03/2013 16:34

buzzard I've heard that as 'if I could rearrange the alphabet I'd put U and I together'

Buzzardbird · 09/03/2013 16:45

Yes Ineed, it is comedic license Grin

IneedAgoldenNickname · 09/03/2013 18:59

Grin thought I'd missed something

Pandemoniaa · 09/03/2013 19:01

Forsooth! Has he been presenting himself at the tradesmen's entrance on your day off? Are you permitted gentleman followers even? Only he sounds like a fearsomely forward sort of chap. One hopes he is not an utter bounder.

weewifey40 · 09/03/2013 19:37

It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a man with four kids and a wife, is not a free agent, whether his 'marriage' is legal or not.

dreamsicle · 09/03/2013 22:02

so glad i found this thread just as i thought my Saturday night was so boring!
I am getting the pop corn ready. Anyone else fancy some?

gilly86 · 09/03/2013 22:14

I'll have some popcorn! Thanks Smile

PatriciaHolm · 09/03/2013 22:43
