yay have fun.

lou33 · 15/10/2009 11:29

belle, forgive me if i am too blunt, but i think you are making a HUGE mistake here

even letting him come round in the first place

this guy is jut going to string you along, pick you up and drop you when he feels like it, and make no real commitment, just say he will think about his behaviour

hes dangling imaginary carrots in front of you

dont be fooled by his demeanour, he is no scared lost little boy

you have given him too many chances already imo

you are too nice to be wasted on him

on a lighter note i am going to see lb overnight on saturday

it's shite i know but you'll get thru this even if it seems impossible atm
please for your own sake have no further contact with him despite the obvious temptation
he is messing with your head and you don't deserve or need it
he's a selfish immature arse
eve where are you off to?
is it abroad?

thesouthsbelle · 15/10/2009 12:13

don't worry as I say not going to be talking to him any time soon. i've had enough.

Cape Town

I've got a massive discount on a flight, all accommodation paid for in a luxury apartment, friend is on expenses so fine dining each night. My friend, think I might have explained about him before, firmly just a mate, hope I can put up with him for that length of time. I definately wouldn't be going if it wasn't for the destination.

It's a long flight for a short time(9 days with travel) but it's been my dream to go as I lived there, well Joburg, but spend a lot of time in Cape Town, that I couldn't turn it down. DD is getting used to the idea but it was a massive shock to her. Wouldn't be long enough to take her if I had to pay full price for her ticket etc, also she needs to be at school.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/10/2009 12:52

that sounds fab!
bet you're counting down the days
soo...marly lights and bombay sapphire it is then...

Haunty27 · 15/10/2009 13:13

Eve - have a great time.

Any word on the visitor?

Waves at ASBM and everyone.

Belle - Grrrrrrrr at GB I'm with everyone else.

YOU ARE TOO GOOD FOR HIM. HE DOES NOT DESERVE YOU. Repeat to yourself again and again.

Don't let a schmuck like that mess your head up for one more minute.

Haunty27 · 15/10/2009 13:14

Tell him where to go and get the greatest of pleasure from the look on his face.

thesouthsbelle · 15/10/2009 13:34

:O HAUNTY. if he's contacted me today I shall text him & tell him to leave me alone. doubt he has thou.

witcheseve · 15/10/2009 13:51

Haunty no I haven't heard anything yet from my visitor. Think he got scared off when I said OK then .

ASBM I'm currently on the E cigarrette. Have you heard of them? Bought one for £20 off a market trader yesterday, so far so good, it's just like smoking a cig. I'm not really doing it to give up but use this as an alternative to normal cigs. Supposed to be healthier and much cheaper, might just stick to buying a pack at the weekend and feed my habit with the fake one the rest of the time.

Btw I'm going to SA on 30th November, not long to go.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/10/2009 14:38

god damn it eve..another of the all talk variety eh
hmm..have heard of E but not of the ciggie type lol

belle don't even waste a text on him delete and ignore,he'll get the message as after all its a tactic most men use!!

aseriouslyblondemoment · 15/10/2009 14:39

{speaking from experience emoticon}

lou33 · 15/10/2009 16:02

belle, dont even reply to him at all if he has been in touch, seriously

it's just another bit of attention for him

OP posts:
thesouthsbelle · 15/10/2009 16:36

I had a text saying 'morning, think you might have had a point in your last text last night. i'm in XXX until 12 and it's dead here' (the text basically said 'u owe me nothing, but i've laid it my cards on the table now. I think you're scared as well. night')

don't know what bit he thinks I had a point about??!

come on eve you can do it - quitting smoking I mean

thesouthsbelle · 15/10/2009 17:58

has just rung me, and said he's not 100% on his decision. (how nice!) he's scared of the situation, but I said (and you'd be proud! lol) leave me alone please, I need time. He said i'll talk/text you later I said no I need time i'll talk to you when i'm ready. he was all I hope I can talk to you - erm NO!!

phone is now off, phone is staying off until monday morning - those who know me know the house number, or have my email. he has my email but I can choose to ignore that & not log into that or the FB chat.

lou33 · 15/10/2009 18:30

i think you have been more than generous with your time of him

i wouldnt have even taken his call tbh

do not engage with him anymore, even if it is to tell him to leave you alone

OP posts:
thesouthsbelle · 15/10/2009 18:39

I won't be now, until I chose to be ready.

lou33 · 15/10/2009 19:16

i dont understand why you would ever choose to be ready to speak to him again though?

you dont owe him anything at all, what is there to gain by any more contact?

notevenamousie · 15/10/2009 19:24

sb - what do you want from this? Do you want him to suddenly realise what he is missing and come round to life with you and your ds and future babies? - because I just don't think that's going to happen. I'd be ending it. Like, properly ending it. But I am not sure what you want, and I hope that you can work that out.

I am still vomiting endlessly and not happy about it.

lou33 · 15/10/2009 19:28

agree with mousie

how long have you been vomiting for now?

OP posts:
notevenamousie · 15/10/2009 19:43

Since tuesday morning. I always seem to get stomach flu badly though. I've had enough. And I am def not pg in case anyone was wondering - dd has had it and AF was normal and a week ish ago and NM has been snipped!

notevenamousie · 15/10/2009 19:46

And lou I am really pleased for you abt sat night with lb (he is NM, right?)

thesouthsbelle · 15/10/2009 19:48

I don't know mousie which is why i'm wanting to have some time out.

tbh I think a trip to the dr's might be in order for you.

lou33 · 15/10/2009 19:58

you need the gp if it hasnt eased up by the morning

and yes i guess he is nm , its been a couple of months now , though of course i may well have jinxed it by saying that

we only sorted the visit last night

cant quite believe exh is having the kids so i can do it though!

I have my own medical degree - it just takes time I guess.
