god it's only been a few hours! you've been busy, my head is pounding, DS pooped everywhere and smeared it all over himself and gymboy was on the phone for an hour! (needless to say I have half a pint of malibu in one hand and a glass of lemonade in the other.

gonna go n catch up now.

so confused again, truly, but am maintaining I want some distance. (at the v v least) he's now saying he's not interested in anyone else, or finding anyone else, or keeping me along till something better comes along. he was offended (genuinely) when I said I felt that I was being made to feel 'grateful' for his time etc etc. also told him I found it exhausting being around him with the glass half full thing (major pessimist). also said I was a hypocrite for going on POF - which tbh is fair, but as I said I know i'm not doing anything. He apologised again for his way of thinking - which tbh is so OTT it's unbelievable. he says he can't walk away from this - I said had given him an out, had walked away, but he says he can't - I said is that cos of the situation or the type of person u are - he said both?!?

For now I have retreated & run away back to my little world, & will come back out to speak when ready.

(off to catch up.)

thesouthsbelle · 26/10/2009 20:22

ninah - deffo, don't get dressed, stay in your gown!

eve - it is totally allowed to have that yes.

sin - don't worry he's sent me another 3 emails this afternoon asking if i'd 'binned him off' already!??! erm yes - current mind set - totally.

Lou - the FB thing, are you viewable to all & sundry? I know a bloke who used to just look at random names/people and add them not knowing them or anything but did so cos he liked the look of them - weird weird man.

juicy - it's XP not XH - who tbh i've never looked up online. wonder if he is about.. but anyhow XP is ajs underscore 1 9 80.

(but play nicely please as don't want any come backs!Cos he knows I MN.) still not giving out gymboy's yet thou.

thesouthsbelle · 26/10/2009 20:23

oh and who mentioned toys - at the new rabbit.

gonna miss that side of things with gymboy - big time, but ho hum.

witcheseve · 26/10/2009 20:29

Belle had a nose. Changed my settings so he didn't know I'd looked. He isn't there or I got it wrong.

thesouthsbelle · 26/10/2009 20:30

thesouthsbelle · 26/10/2009 20:32

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/10/2009 20:32

dontouchTHEMUMMYSpecialjuice · 26/10/2009 20:34

oh actually. i best not. irish due round and cant figure out how to wipe history. as pc is also tv if he opens new tab it automatically lists previous pages.

thesouthsbelle · 26/10/2009 20:37

I want to see him, I don't want to see him, I want to talk to him, I don't want to talk to him. I just want it all to end. this can't keep going on. damn my weak will.

you know it makes sence to check him out - when on the profile it says 'have things I wanna achieve'.. let me know what you think.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 26/10/2009 20:38

thesouthsbelle · 26/10/2009 20:41

dontouchTHEMUMMYSpecialjuice · 26/10/2009 20:42

asbm - no, he's not met them. but they are in bed by 7pm with clocks changing. but i wrote that wrong anyway. he's coming round tomorrow night i meant. but same again. once dc in bed.

witcheseve · 26/10/2009 20:44

Someone did this for me once, put candles up the stairs too. I never did get the wax off the carpet. Didn't impress me either.

thesouthsbelle · 26/10/2009 20:46

all I kept thinking was that better not stain my carpets! lol.

dunno about u lot but I don't need grand gestures, or declarations of undying love. Just a bit of respect, compassion & attention.

ninah · 26/10/2009 20:49

I had the note thing once! made me feel uncomfortable

Betty79 · 26/10/2009 20:59

notevenamousie · 27/10/2009 07:47

What a lot of reading!
I have reappeared. I had the most amazing weekend ever. Am trying not to be soppy and over the top but.... he makes me very happy and I have really fallen for him.

ninah - glad you feeling a bit better
belle - sorry things are so confusing. We'll be here to listen to you regardless but I still feel you need to walk away and not look back
rj - sounds like you working hard!
Train just about to arrive at work and will reply to all other news later

dontouchTHEMUMMYSpecialjuice · 27/10/2009 08:04

morning all,

well back to single life for me.

split with bf.

had the chat last night about whether or not he could consider anything in long term with someone with kids.

i'm his first relationship with someone with kids.

he took an hour and come back to me. admits his ideal would be someone without dc. although he was willing to see what happens with us, i'm not willing to be always wondering if he's watching over his shoulder for someone without dc.

he wants to be friends. dont think i can be tbh. i'm a bit crap at staying friends. doubt i'll even speak to him again. he has a PS3 game i left at his which i've asked him to post rather than bringing over

and odd thing is i really am not fussed. as much as he was great. i always felt this one going to be incredible fun, but very unrealistic to make a lasting relationship.

and i wanted out before there was any feelings involved.

and belle - take note, he feels awful that the truth is shallow that he wants the nuclear family thing of living with someone and his kids only, not another mans kids. but he doesn't shift the blame, or make me feel bad in anyway. he takes full responsibility, and really wishes things were different. it was me who broached subject, and he knows he could have stringed me along for months or even years as we get on incredibly well. and then it would have been an awful wrench. we're both aware he could have made the right noises about trying and seeing what happens.

and who knows, maybe he would have come to accept it.

but the point is... i would know.. i would not be his "ideal" scenario. and i'd always feel 2nd best.

so i've finished it.

and i'm fine this morning.

felt much worse when finished things with beachbum.

thesouthsbelle · 27/10/2009 08:24

Juciy sorry to hear that - sounds like something similar gymboy is going thru.

he's still maintaing he doesn't know what he wants. but he is a 'purist' to quote him, but that's not to say he couldn't live under the same roof as a DC that wasn't his - my stance is the same as always.

tbh i'm just totally fucked off, he said 2 weeks ago he wanted to walk but then things I said made him believe there was a chance - if he wanted to give it any sort of a chance why did he keep going on the dating sites?

am angry again today, but that's prob as i've had about 3 hours sleep and drank half a bottle of malibu last night. oh and his last text of the night, after I said I guess we'll talk when we talk was from him saying ok. but don't know when u want to. no kiss or anything.

wish I could switch of caring.

dontouchTHEMUMMYSpecialjuice · 27/10/2009 08:39

belle - its exactly the same.

the huge difference is irish acted how a grown man with respect for others feelings should act.

last night was the first time we broached the subject.

none of this messing around for weeks like gymboy.

i hope this make you realise even more how much your being messed around.

and believe me. we could have farted about and "tried" as we do get on incredibly well.

i've never been in a relationship that was so simplistic and just "clicked".

but as you see there really is no excuse for gymboy behaviour other than he's messing with you.
