she is in shock but she will be ok

another friend is with her atm, i will go stay tonight

she had broken ribs from an accident a few weeks ago (def not him) and he kicked her in them, and her face as well as doing various other things

neighbours called police, she said if they hadnt she thinks he may have killed her

am and on her behalf

some men and alcohol do not mix

and he has even tried to deny doing it to her

theres a word i would like to use on here but i would have to asterisk it

inthemistsoftime · 21/02/2009 17:58

god thats awful, has he ever done anything to her before? she must be so shocked.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 21/02/2009 18:01

dear god this is shocking stuff
am so glad to hear that she has plenty to rally round her
and he isnt a man
men dont hit women end of.

its bob and me in a hour!!!!!

I have promised my sister not to jump on him or the 1st date, but then I dont have to tell her everything. I am going to go with the flow and see what happens.

I'll update later, how late dont know.

lou33 · 21/02/2009 18:09

tbh yes he has 3 times before but it has escalated alarmingly, each time she has taken him back because he has begged and pleaded her forgiveness and promised he will sort this alcohol/anger issue out

but he hasnt and this she says now, is it

she means it as well thank goodness

this man was round my house a couple of days ago putting my bathroom blinds up

inthemistsoftime · 21/02/2009 18:12

lou thats scary, you think you know people but in reality not

lou33 · 21/02/2009 18:31

i know

i just called her, told her i will be round in a few mins

sincitylover · 21/02/2009 19:45

OMG just popped into this thread for a minute. Haven't got much to contribute atm.

But Lou how awful for your friend. Hope she is OK. Will never understand how men can do this. Have been frightened of partners before but thank god noone has ever hit me!

Feeling quite so so about love life (or lack) atm - this weeks events with exH has overshadowed things somewhat!

sincitylover · 21/02/2009 21:21

is everyone out on a date?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 21/02/2009 21:26

just back on
ooh inthemist and Bob
knowing my crap luck will get Farmer Pickles or Spud
tho at least Spud is funny i guess
and yes inthemist FULL UPDATE PRONTO
er meant to say have a lovely time enjoy!
SCL guess it's you and me both here!

yes one thing I hate about all of this is that it's very up and down - one minute lots of action then periods of nothing.

Didn't reply to the one who asked me why was I on the site if I wasn't single. Don't really know why he thought that. Some of his replies were a bit odd tbh.

samename2 and I do have a meeting lined up but who knows.

exbf gone quiet as per usual. Although I 'mean alot to him' I am really just a booty call!!

But overshadowing it all is the probs with exH. I am beginning to think that he and new P are trying to undermine me or at the very least they think my parenting is not up to their high standards. I think the best thing is to meet them but would need someone else with me otherwise I think they will try to steamroller me.

How are things with you? Update me on your CM?

aseriouslyblondemoment · 21/02/2009 21:41

SCL what has the EXH been up to now?
and i know that Holly is dancing round her handbag in Brum as we speak
dont know where RJ is probably on G&C im guessing
Eve is feeding the men world
N1 being handy man
Lou is naturally with her friend who we are all thinking of here
and must add SCL dont and must stress a dont here but didnt mean to give your ex any form of credence by using capitals as a ref.to him

well ds2 did not want to go and stay on Wed eve. So I let him stay with me as he was distressed. DS1 went.

Then had a tearful phone call on Thurs eve from DS2 askig him to pick me up. I couldn't as was at my friends. But heard newP in background saying that 'daddy wouldn't lie' when DS2 was saying he was!!

Friday they were still meant to be staying over but DS1 has activity in my area, so I allowed exHto come to my house (I am not there) and to cut a long story short they came back to me last night and did not stay over with exH as planned.

ExH was moaning as usual about everything and making snidey remarks. it seems that newP is getting more and more involved with parenting issues and they clearly think they are more 'proper' and superior than me and that my parenting skills lack - ie allowing fast food as a treat, clothes not right, I left some innocent textsand photos on a phone I lent to DSs and exH commented on them.

The whole situation is reaching crisis point.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 21/02/2009 22:09

well id give them a welcome to the real world
and see how they cope then 24/7
there's alot of this sneering one up man ship with parenting

Corrr. Sorry to hear about Lou's friend getting hurt. That's really not good. I hope the man gets some stiff penalty, though knowing English jail, it's not even a punishment, it just gets him a history. Lets hope that Lou33's friend gets better soon.

I just got in from playing "make a kitchen". Walls were not flat (no surprise there) the corners were not square. The surface for work tops was not flat, nor level. I had fun and games trying to make things fit, but I got there in the end. I am back there later on to help with putting up cupboards.

sincitylover - how old are the children. New partners wanting to get involved is not a good move for children. Most children have 2 recognized parents. Adding a third in makes for complications, more so if the children don't know the new person.

I was looking forward to hearing about Eve and Holly23's night out. It must be good if they are still out. Lets hope for good news.

inthemistsoftime · 22/02/2009 10:20

morning all, how is everyone on here today, and I see N1 being his usual night owl self.

N1 · 22/02/2009 12:47

I am likely to be pushed back into more socialy accepted working hours in a few weeks.

lou33 · 22/02/2009 13:09

she feels like she has been run over by a truck today

i ended up leaving her about 1.30/2am, because her brother came and stayed , and shew as asleep, and i got a call from another friend of mine saying he needed to see me, so he got a cab to my friends house where he picked me up and we went back to mine (not the one i fell out with on friday)

am v v tired tho as we didnt stop talking til 5.30 this morning

think i will go back to bed i feel dizzy from lack of sleep

havent spoken to young man at all

inthemistsoftime · 22/02/2009 13:50

lou, its sound like you really had a weekend from hell, get some sleep.

hopefully you will get to speak to the young man later

N1 have you had that confirmed yet?

ridingjoker · 22/02/2009 14:51

afternoon all,

geez i go out on the lash for 1 night and it all happens.

lou - thinking of your friend. poor woman.
shame young man has gone missing, why doesn't he take his phone?

was eve and holly both on dates last night??? wonder how they went.

asbm - blackberry man given up completely?

n1 - well done on the kitchen. should have taken photo's for us

scl - things do go up and down. but it allows it to be more exciting that way...so have you arranged a date or time for your meeting with samename.

as for me. i had a fabulous time. lots of mischief. met a fella who i had a conversation about comics(my brother was a collector so read his as a child)....and he was so impressed he demanded my phone number.....parted ways as it was very late and his friend was not impressed as playing gooseberry(no idea why gooseberry didn't talk to my friends who we were all standing with) and wanted to leave.

he was really hot in a geeky sort of way...think clarke kent when he's at office before he becomes superman....looks nothing like clark kent. but has the intellectual look with glasses.

so we'll see if he contacts me. altho i was pretty far gone and really struggled to get my number in his uber phone. touch screen and false nails didn't make things easier either.

oh and been on the text to diver all day comparing hangovers. he tried to call me at 1am this morning. but i missed it and he was sleeping at my call at 2am.....thank goodness for that as i cant be trusted for what i say with a few too many.dont want him thinking i am a brazen drunken lush

lou33 · 22/02/2009 15:22

dot know whats up with young man, he hasnt returned any messages, so am going to just go about my business and not fret over it

i got some sleep but i have a terrific headache now, am probably heading back to bed in a bit

N1 · 22/02/2009 15:25

The letter confirming my work prospects and working hours is due during the week.

inthemistsoftime · 22/02/2009 15:36

N1 my fingers are crossed for you, it must be really stressful living under such a cloud, we are if you need us.

lou, hes probably tied up some where(I dont mean that literally!) or lost his phone or something along those lines. Hope you feel better soon.
