ooo!

I don't want ManA. I want Carrot. (numbing toothache)

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 20:27

Sorry 'bout that. Had a ranting text about call of duty to him (XH is a gamer), and got a reply back that he wouldn't buy call of duty. Selling himself to me is NOT helping the situation.

Not that he knows the full situation to be fair. As far as he knows there is still no Thing.

to paraphrase my current status on fb, why can't men see and appreciate what's right in front of them?

or for another rhetorical question, why when life is so short do i feel as though i will be spending most if not all of it on my own?

:(

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 22:11

Carrot turned up unexpected with me slightly wasted. Now everything is screwed as he knows I have cocked up and developed The Thing. I was meant to spend an evening moping and then be fine with him none the wiser.

Hi all - just place marking really.

Re Friday - I for one am planning on wearing a ballgown as usual so not glam at all.

And have just spent an hour exchanging nonsense with bluebeard! (single father of six kids for anyone what can't remember that far back .... he still makes me laugh but no bloody spark!)

MaMoTTaT · 08/11/2010 22:26

well - that's that bloke off the list.

Been having a little chat via email on OkC - then he admits he chose to leave his wife (and took his DD with him) because she had Huntingdon's Disease

Prick

But hey you know it's ok as he hooked her up with someone else to be her carer boyfriend so everything is all hunky dory - arse

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 22:55

Shock He at least has honesty on his side!!!

Had a few texts. Feeling slightly calmer.

lilac21 · 08/11/2010 23:00

Hi MaMo, yep sounds like you're well out of that one.

yay for great weekend mily, definitely a keeper?

sponge, hoping for good news on the job, if you want it!

Flame, am struggling even more than usual to keep up with your updates. I read them all and I think about them but it's not really going in, IYSWIM? Doubt you can help me, cos by the sound of things you and carrot are even more confused than me.

Wave to everyone else.

I'm coming straight from work on Friday too, so I will be the one who looks like a primary school teacher Hmm

Correction...I'm coming straight from work on Friday but I'll be the one who looks like a primary school teacher who spent the previous night with a military toyboy in her bed Blush

WingWoman · 08/11/2010 23:14

Mmm military toy boy...

Nope. I've lost track now too. As of yesterday morning he was lovely, we were great together, but neither of us felt the thing and he wanted what i couldn't be. As of a point last night, I felt the thing, nothing has changed his side. Bloody man even offered to take himself off the sites! I have no idea what he thought that would achieve. Was v sweet though. I am shaking myself lots, he's coming round Weds and we are talking more then apparently. joy.

mummyilubyou · 09/11/2010 10:04

Lilac - definitely a keeper Grin

Flame, thanks for the summary, I am slightly less confused than I was Wink

Sponge, Sad and (((((((((((()))))))))) ref WM and job stuff, the latter really is pants and I have been there, I hate that kind of thing

Kdk, maybe I should wear my Fido dress and the wedding hat on Friday, just to set the tone Grin

Boxed up all XH books and CDs (bye bye Andy McNab/John Grisham, Genesis and Aerosmith) last night, plus all crap stuff in the utility room, just got clothes to do and then he can ship it all out. The only teary moment was seeing some photo albums of happy times together some years ago.....decided to put those (inc wedding album Sad) in a box for the DDs so that at some point they can see that our marriage was certainly not all bad.............

WingWoman · 09/11/2010 10:06

Ok. Sobriety good. I'll be fine.

Life is in the wrong place. Nothing in the world can change that.

I'll get past this. Getting pretty good at it tbh.

WingWoman · 09/11/2010 11:22

I found the photos hardest too. I can't bring myself to take wedding ones off fb. i really need to though.

Have asked ManA if he can do tonight.

MaMoTTaT · 09/11/2010 11:57

oh thank goodness for that. Had the call from CP over exH's twatishness.

Whole conversation last a grand total of 7 minutes.

She said she'd ring be back once she'd talk to her sernior. just a few minutes later phone rang again, they were totally happy with what I'd said and felt I was able to make the decisions for the best for my children, Case open, case closed

Only bad bit of the call was when I discovered that exH didn't just "go out in the car" (as told to me by ex-neighbour), or "go out for a bit" (as admitted to be by exH) but actually "drove around town for SEVERAL HOURS"

BASTARD

oh and some cheeky fecker has just sent me a message on OkC asking if I know where the circus is Hmm

WingWoman · 09/11/2010 15:26

Circus? ?

Glad the call went ok.

Waiting to hear back from manA about if he can do tonight.
Things seem to be as normal with carrot

MaMoTTaT · 09/11/2010 15:33

Yes - we were very differently "matched" - I assume he was taking the p*ss out of me because I'm, ermm, a little quirky Grin

Am VERY relieved about the call, with everything that happened last year and them being involved heavily then I was dreading having it all over again.

I'm still confused about carrot and ManA

will read thread again later to find out.........

WingWoman · 09/11/2010 16:27

Nice bloke!

I don't think there is anyone including me and Carrot who isn't confused tbh!! Both like each other lots, I didn't feel the click before but do now (jury is out on him... I didn't think he did then a comment last night had me doubting). But he wants marriage and babies rather than a brood and THEN marriage and baby. Obv I can never be that. It wasn't an issue when we met as I was rebound girl as much as he was for me.

ManA i was talking to at the same time as Carrot but opted for Carrot. Kept in contact. In the interests of moving forward with my life I am looking at men again but they are all dull. ManA is the only one I've ever got on well with so we're meeting for a drink.

In the meantime me and Carrot are continuing our entirely destructive non-relationship.

Clear as mud?

MaMoTTaT · 09/11/2010 16:30

well - it makes more sense than it did before Grin

Janos · 09/11/2010 17:10

Evening y'all.

WW that all sounds exhausting! How do you deal with all that and just not go, well, mad? I would ne pulling my hair out after about 30 seconds with all the shenanigans!

Things still looking good, fingers crossed, with sunday bloke. The only problem is finding some free time as I don't really have anyone local who can babysit.

Janos · 09/11/2010 17:11

Your ex sounds like a real champ MaM Hmm

WingWoman · 09/11/2010 17:18

Meeting ManA tonight.

Argh.

MaMoTTaT · 09/11/2010 17:44

exciting stuff WW - what you going to wear? Where you going?

lou33 · 09/11/2010 17:53

Placemarking.

Janos i am rocking my new socks btw :)
