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.

I think I will, that's why I am going to wait and see how he approaches it before I make a decision.. if he doesn't act like he wants to sort it out then I'll tell him to walk next Wednesday (will have had a week then) in fairness I think he has been in meetings most of day.

Will keep you posted...

I did just said it was fine and better than his by sound of it.. told him to have a nice day tomorrow as he's out. Won't expect a reply again now - if he's serious, hopefully he'll text tomorrow evening or maybe Saturday. We've know plans to see each other so would be nice for him to suggest that at some point.

yes

i do have to say that when i am in a relationship with someone (i.e exbf), or a potential new one (i.e this bodyguard dude) i get quite a few messages each day, not just one or 2

i like that , am not sure if one or two is hte norm or not but i expect more myself

No advice really and ahavne't read the whole thread but DH is crap at texting/phoning when I want/expect him too.
It drives me mad and he's completely oblivious to it.

(Lou, what happened with ex-bf? did he stay in touch?come back?....)

lou33 · 04/10/2007 20:28

ooh a "we"!

coupledom approaches lol

yes bodyguard, civilian, he is in iraq atm prtecting americans, but he is in touch everyday

he is back on weds so am seeing him thurs

will see how it goes

lth, exbf, we are still in touch tho not that often, he is still in thailand, but is off to nepal for a few weeks next month, then is moving to the states in jan for work, and finally ending up in oz, as he always planned

he isnt seeing anyone else he said, and he might be in the uk for xmas

i will of course have to see him if he is

LadyTophamHatt · 04/10/2007 20:33

"i will of course have to see him if he is"

Oh Lou, that made me go "awwwww". I hope he does come back, even if its just for (ekkkk hate this word) "closure" for both of you.

lou33 · 04/10/2007 20:37

lol

he will always be very special to me, and vice versa i think

aside from that he has lost 2 stone and is now probably extremely hot and tanned looking being a scuba intsructor, so i have to cop a look dont i?!

he was hot before and not fat but.......oh you know!

LadyTophamHatt · 04/10/2007 20:40

"cop a look"

you'll be doing more then bloody look...you filthy mare!!

lou33 · 04/10/2007 20:41

Was OK, Like I said he text me a few times Thursday, friday eve we had a quick chat about plans for weekend (after got off on wrong foot on text)

He came round yesterday afternoon and I did a roast - he bought his tools round and fixed my dd's scooter, he also fixed my wardrobe door and put some stuff in the loft for me.. so I think it's fair to say he is making an effort.

Just not sure I feel the same about him as I did before last weeks behaviour.. I really fell for him hard and now I feel very detatched from it all.

how's it going for you?

I'll catch up with your thread you know! just need to find some time

He's not just weird at work though, we didn't talk last night, I tried to make conversation a few times but he didn't really seem interested.
