starts here

why would you bin off gymboy before asking about it?

he may well just have been checking mail or hiding a profile or something, talk to him before you dump him

Hi ladies, think I need to come and join you. Decided Im gonna give online dating another go, registered ages ago but couldnt be bothered with it. Have been single now for just over a year and divorced a couple of months. Happy being single, but miss having someone to do things with....and a bit of fun lol

I hear ya, have spoken to gymboy (he;s been demoted again at the mo) today and he got the right arse - stressed, traffic, interview etc didn't bother asking how I'm feeling - still hasn't. so taken to the sofa with the duvet n a tube of mars planets - knackers to him - is it too much to ask for a hug/to say how are u feelin today hunny??!

me... 'well your call take a deep breath, and carry on orhave you rung ahead and cancelled...'
him....'I can't calm down i'm stressed, do u think it's being rude to cancel 20 mins b4'
me... 'fine, no i don't least you rang'
him.. 'so what should I tell my work'
me..'what do you want to tell them...'
ds....'mummy I want that wake up mummy..'
me..'no ds you can't have it..'
him...'i'll get off then..bye bye bye..'
me.. bye hang up..'

him text 'well the queues are still here that was decieving'
me back 'nevermind now eh'

Sorry to hear some of you not well - there seem to be alot of nasty bugs going around at the moment.

Hello Betty. I've been a lp for three years.

And sometimes have this feeling of wanting someone else to take over.

SB - hard to say whether your NM (is he NM yet?) is OK IYKWIM - suppose time will tell. Could be he is just very busy?
Whatever it is no reflection on you. Try to play it cool (I never used to but with age have managed to more)

Spoke to Samename lat night - he has sunk into a depression after his holiday and returning to work (he is very intense about work.

We are going to try and see each other next week and prob weekend after. I am going to suggest he meets dcs - not in a big deal type of way but still think it's time.

Have a mini crush on someone I have come into contact with - think he is appealing to my vulnerable side and just has such a nice caring manner/safe pair of hands. It really won't be going anywhere but also the slight frisson feeling is there.

ooh scl more details please

OP posts:
DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/09/2009 11:22

scl - spill about your crush..... come on...

sb - its hard to say if gymboy is just really stressed, or perhaps getting a bit wrapped up in his own problems.and everyone else goes out the window iykwim. not a terrible quality. but one that if you like him you will i have to put up with. i dont mind this kind of thibng as long as they make up for it when they are less busy/stressed.

thesouthsbelle · 24/09/2009 11:41

ahy come on scl - share with the group!!

he's stressed I know that much, but after last night as well, plus the fact he know's i'm feeling like shite would have been nice for him to not get the arse when I was trying to help him. guess at least he apologised for being a twat!

Lou/juicy - how are u both today?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/09/2009 12:06

i'm fine. being strict with myself and studying today. but only got 4 hrs sleep last night so tempted by a siesta with dd

i feel much more human today thank you, until i realise i cant see my house from the rubble of 3 days of being ill

just had a 10 min chat to lb on the phone, and i should now be cracking on with stuff

OP posts:
thesouthsbelle · 24/09/2009 12:20

glad you're better lou.

juicy - get n have a nap - nap's are good gonna have one in a bit.

rang and it rang out, was wondering should I text to say sorry for being a mardy bum as well today or leave it?

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 24/09/2009 12:24

leave him stew SB - or everytime he has the hump with work he will expect you to contact him.. plus if he's really stressed you contacting is only going to heap more pressure. you know yourself what it is like when your up to your eyes with thing and someone keeps calling or leaving messages. he will return the call when he has the time and he'll be in a better mood than if you catch him now and he's still stressed.

lou33 · 24/09/2009 12:47

i would leave it now

you have called , he will see that, i think that's enough effort
