lol janos, you probably got it from me!

i think all the emotional turmoil from yesterday has just left me feel washed out , i am assuming i will feel better tomorrow

say i will!

Janos · 02/05/2009 20:20

And for the extensive use of quote marks. Maybe it's the feverish taste of freedom just around the corner (off down to Brighton for 2 days with my bf while DS on hols with his Dad).

lou33 · 02/05/2009 20:22

sounds lovely, have fun

i just emailed you briefly, btw

Janos · 02/05/2009 20:22

Ah you will lou, you will (as they say on Father Ted).

I've had my own stress this week too, altho a different type to yours. Not your fault at all!

lou33 · 02/05/2009 20:24

god what a pair we are eh lol

Janos · 02/05/2009 20:37

Oh yes.

I got youe message btw but my email for some reason isn't letting me reply but I can say a) I know what you mean, I'm sure mine does that too and b)you are welcome.

Hopefully that makes some sort of sense

lou33 · 02/05/2009 20:54

yes it does

Janos · 02/05/2009 21:27

Morning all sorry am really not back in my usual rhythm yet - think the sore thorat might have gone - here's hoping but still feeling shit!

Lou sorry to hear of your problems. Hope you are having a calmer day today.

Was going to see samename1 tomorrow for a more relaxed time but my exH has just come back from Mexico and his employers have told him to stay home for a week - I am not sending DCs over for a week just to be sure.

BUT don't know if its because Im low or whether it's just how it goes but am feeling vv emotional and upset about exbf. I really nneed to talk to him. I do think I have moved forward but it doesn't stop him dominating my thoughts.

That's another reason for not having that convo with samename - I think we need to let things evolve organically rather than forcing things ITKWIM

aseriouslyblondemoment · 03/05/2009 14:36

sorry to hear you're still feeling rough scl
i think you're wise to just let things evolve without the talk as it may not have the desired effect
it's hard on you with the exbf situ i know,have you been in contact with him?

OP posts:
lostinthecitylover · 03/05/2009 16:55

thanks asbm - I just don't feel right in laying it on the line for samename - much as I like him when I am still pining for exbf.

We have made plans for this week, the following weekend plus a weekend away ( samename and I) so am just going to see what occurs.

Exbf - have sent him the odd random text but no answer - no surprise there really - this has been the pattern since July 07.

I should have taken him up on his offer of the talk at the end of Jan perhaps but I was not feeling emotionally strong enough to have it then - now I do feel strong enough and he is AWOL!!!

How are things going with you on the dating front and generally?

Janos · 03/05/2009 17:48

Sorry you have been having problems sleeping lou. I think we've probably all been there at one time or another - it really is an awful feeling. Sending sleepy, relaxing vibes to you FWIW or failing that some good sleeping pills! (when I was at worst it took 2 diazepam to knock me out).

at rj having a lovely time.

XP coming to take DS away for 2 week holiday in a few mins....looking forward to the rest but also know I will miss him terribly. Trying not to think about that too much.

Lots of sympathetic vibes for you too scl. I still get v sad about exbf despite fact I know it wouldn't work etc and just wanting to know how he is/that he's ok etc.

lostinthecitylover · 03/05/2009 18:56

Thanks Janos - it's hard isn'tit - I expect he's alright - at first I thought something terrible had happened - well he does seem to have numerous family dramas a la jeremy kyle but think he is OK. Just has the arrogance to assume he can flit in and out of my life when he feels like it. Then gets cold feet. Well he won't be doing that any more I have decided, whatever happens with samename2 but don't harbour any grudges against him.

To me he is not a bad person - confused with issues yes. I want him to be happy - as he does me - which makes it all the harder. And of course I think he would be happy with me and as for him - don't think he knows or he knows but won't admit it (wishful thinking on my part).

Lou I was awake last night at 2pm despite feeling sooo tired perhaps we should come on here for a while - I do sometimes get up and watch tv or eat something if I can't sleep.

lostinthecitylover · 03/05/2009 18:56

isn't tssk
