but there's nobody here to talk to and I just had to get that off my chest.

And I hate myself for being so hopeful when I meet someone I think I could really like.

It's just wanky.

it's alright.. I'm done with feeling poo (for the time being).. girls from work has gone home now which has made it easier all the jokes about lovers tiffs and my dress were starting to grate a little.

Does he know you about the solicitor?

No, I don't think so. I don't think he has any idea that I would go that far .

oh bugger Dior.. what do you think he'll say/do when you tell him?

I don't feel so great today, didn't sleep well at all and feel a bit less positive than I did yesterday but hey-ho.

Got into work and he's already locked away in his office. Keep telling myself he's obviously not the person I thought he was - that he made me think he was with all the promises.

MOH. Men always do the 'no contact' thing don't they. G in the office did the same. We perfected the art of looking through each other . It is fine now, and I'm sure you will be ok with him again one day soon. Honestly!

Don't know what h will say. I honestly don't think he thinks I have it in me. Not sure I do at the mo.

oh blimey.

I felt pretty good the rest of the day.

Marched into his office this afternoon and said, "so shall we call it a day then?" and he went all stumbling and 'umm and ahh-y' and said "but I thought we were going to talk about it".. he's coming round tomorrow night to talk.. well he'll be talking and I'll be stareing blankly at him I think.

I really think I am over it.. which is good.

ex is brining my lovely watch back tonight and I've just got out shower in pj's and look a mess..

my luck will change one day lol

ok exp came round, doused in my favourite aftershave and was trying to make conversation - my voice cracked when I was answer him and now I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face.

Things will get better - really they will.

He just sent me a text saying it would have been nice to talk but I didn't seem like I wanted too.

You got rid of him for a reason. He is playing games - he knows it is your favourite aftershave! Don't let him get to you.

MascaraOHara · 02/10/2007 21:40

I know.

I just sent one back saying I'm not on good form at minute (and apologising for being in pj's) he text back saying don't worry - nothing he hadn't seen before and that I could've talked to him whatever it was.

I really do hate men. If you even hear me thinking about dating - give me a virtual slap - very hard!

Now is not the time, but one day it will be.

Trite, but true - time is a great healer. The thing you don't think you can cope with becomes a faded memory eventually.

so it's turned again.. not sure he is coming round tonight now.. not that he's told me as yet... so here's how it goes - 8:15 this morn I figure out he won't be there. I'll let you know at what tiem he actually tells me he won't be able to make it.

Really don't see the point in dragging this out.

DastardlyDior · 03/10/2007 11:50

Do you mean he is off sick?

lou33 · 03/10/2007 12:06

men hate confrontation, it's because our balls are bigger than theirs, we just keep ours hidden

i absolutely hate it when men turn into these pathetic spineless gits

DastardlyDior · 03/10/2007 15:14

'Turn' into? Aren't they always?

lol @ you two, I just logged back in and saw this in active convo's.

so pathetic. have had a work related convo with him now.. still no mention of whetehr or not he is planning to attend tonight. Can only assume he is I guess.

Today is really hard work.

Nearly cried in the car today thinking about exp asking after dd last night.. was asking how she was getting on at school and stuff. They loved each other so much, feel for them both! my heart breaks when I think that I've seperated them but he's not her dad and it wasn't working. he did ask if he could maintain contact but I said no in case he got fed up when he met someone else.. he's the nearest thing dd has had to a dad.

It's firworks night soon and we always used to go to my local and he'd always hold her/have her on his shoulders while we watched the fireworks.. this year it might be the first time they've seen each other since we split, I think I'll have to not go but that wouldn't be fair on her and everyone goes - all our friends, in fact all our village.
