Where have all the fit and interesting men gone part ELEVEN

[lou33]

dollparts he messaged me through a dating site i forgot i was on

so sorry mousie had a hunch it might be something like that. Good on you for not allowing it to spoil things.

Also had similar but very many years ago.

I do the travelling although it's not that far tbh (20-30 minute drive) and generally. Plus many other issues about the amount of effort made by exh

mousie, I am so sorry. I do hope that you are being kind to yourself.

{{{}}} for everyone on here who is having to cope with unreasonable x's... it is physically & emotionally exhausting

mousie how awful. Hope you are OK, and that you have someone in rl to talk to, you mustn't feel you have to soldier on treating it as a minor hiccup
similar here as a student, was told by gp to just forget it which in the long run didn't do me any favours
what a complete and utter shit
must be ten times worse with having to hold it together as a lone p

Thank you ladies. I'm ok, I think. It's amazing how many people it has happened to - so horrible, really.
I am all lost with a few days without dd - they are few and far between, ex says he only wants her for one overnight every 3rd weekend from now on - for my girl about that.

i'm so sorry mousie

is the sun making the male population frisky?

i have had a few men showing interest in me over he last few days, not from dating sites , i am not on any atm, but ones i already know

4 to be precise

What sun Lou? It's raining and miserable up north. Lucky you in more ways than one.

hi all,

back from down south. must admit. weather was lovely where i was. on beach rollerblading and in sea on pedalo's. great time.

school holidays are finally over so elmo been today which is such a relief as these 2 were driving each others bonkers recently. and me.

it's really sad to see so many women have suffered similar stories

no news on men front here. still talking to beachbum. we've arranged he's going to cook me dinner on friday night. but we will just have to see what happens.. erring on the side of caution here after being canx on last wkd.

and BigT - his situation has possibly gotten a lot less complicated. may make an effort to organise a second date there depending on beachbum outcome.

oh and hi to everyone. will catch up on whats happening at some point.

it's 29 degrees here eve

It's hot here too

Is the interest from anyone you could be interested in Lou?

Ridingjoker at your day

winnie - it was 2 days

Am chatting to a really nice sounding bloke - let's call him musicman - he is 36 with an 18 y o son which makes me worry that my dd may become an issue - but it is really nice to chat to him and he has raised the possibility of meeting

rj, sorry... I read that slightly wrong so doubly I am desperate to get to the sea...

mousie, good for you

I am still talking to Thepianist & I've started talking to theTrekker. It is interesting how different men bring out different sides in me. Thepianist brings out a very flirtatious side, the trekker a more serious side... feel like I am at least learning a lot about myself in my relatively new singledom; stuff that has been submerged in the mess that my marriage became.

Good for you, Winnie!
I think the more people you talk to, male, female, platonic or no, you start to rediscover yourself again... I hope it will be the case for you!

yeh i quite fancy them all but i doubt any of them are likely to be more than short term, and thats not really what i want

batman was one of them, he was in touch last night

dd off to a&e, her arms all limp.

feel awful. not sure if its been like that and got worse since she came back. or she did it when with me and fighting with her brother.

but after a huge barny with her dad.its his birthday milestone and suposed to be at dinner. he finally came over. took one look and then said we should all go as a family , yes, its wise to drag ds along when he's due in bed in 30 mins.

so he's finally stropped off with dd, half naked screaming the street down after we couldn't move her arm to get her dressed.

me falling off horse. dd hurting arm... things come in 3's. wonder what 3rd injury will be.

I hope your dd is ok, rj. A similar thing happened to mine a few weeks ago - was a pulled elbow, and it went back in just fine in A+E. Not fun though. I hope your ex got a bit more useful last night.

so..they couldn't see what was wrong. she wouldn't let them touch it. she eventually took some pain killers from them and made a miraculous recovery

can 2yo be hypochondriacs?

nah, there must be something. she was up literally all of the night till about 6am. swaying between crying and singing.

perhaps acting up after having sat,mon and tues with her dad. have a feeling perhaps she's been allowed to sleep in his bed. and allowed to stay up till whenever and hence she's just putting it on as shattered.

she has full mobility in her arm today which is a bit

My 2yo def has hypochondriac tendencies though they seem to be mild and frequent, "I've got a sore arm/ head/ mouth/ tummy/ toe" that wear off but sometimes with cries of "I need to see a doctor not you mummy". The elbow pulling was different as she was just pathetic and sad but it went back in very easily and sometimes they can do so by themselves. Not sure if I am helping but I hope she is doing ok today.

I have terrible tummy pain today, been getting worse for a few days, don't really know what to do... got the 6 hour marathon to collect dd tomorrow (can anyone reply to my AIBU if you have anything to help?).

Talking to musicman on the phone tonight, looking forward to that, he sounds really great

ridingjoker, I am glad dd is ok.

mousie I put a post on your thread. don't envy you

I have had more interest and am still messaging thepianist and emailing thetrekker. I have a week with out ds coming up and a date would be nice but am listening to you all and not jumping in too soon

winnie - dont be ridiculous. if a date arrises jump on it.lol. not literally

i've met some within a week of first contact. if your free and you both fancy it then just go for no pressure coffee.

tbh ridingjoker I think I am being a bit pathetic I am guessing most people feel like that when they first get out there after having been in a long term relationship. I am very ready to be back out there and as previously said I am def over xh BUT whilst I am really excited at the prospect of dating, I am scared sh*tless too

the first time on date scared shit out of me too. gets better more you go on

It's very nervewracking to start with I agree. Sometimes not really caring too much helps me get my head around it iyswim. Sometimes I am not in the mood for getting dressed up and looking good but if you can get yourself to feel that you do want to, that seems half the battle done.

Thanks for you help on my other thread. My ex is just unreasonable, apparently I have to let him know today so that the new GF's ex and his partner can make their plans... not my problem, you know?!

Looking forward to chatting w musicman tonight - it's taken a bit of sorting through some idiots mind - anyone else find not being able to write in sentences a REAL turn off???
