Lone parent (Dad) with one problem he really cannot raise with family!

I lost my wife to breast cancer nearly five years ago when my daughter was 8 and my son was 5. With lots of help from Annes family I have managed to cope with most problems - even talking to DD about periods - but one problem is still a problem.

Being celibate is not easy and I miss having her in my bed so much even after five years. Does it ever get easier?

Wow, well you have known this lady for a long time - but - what about dating??

Still, maybe there is a bit more to this than you are telling us - that's fine! hope all goes well for you all.

No, this man posted before about how to approach puberty related issues with his dd.

I think you can get them free in the chippy, Reality. Maybe he could treat his lucky lady to a sausage supper?

Heated · 28/10/2009 22:13

"This conversation left me in a happy daze and I hightailed around to the lucky lady concerned and waited impatiently for her shift to end. She listen patiently to my rambling and almost incoherant explanations and then said the magic words "Yes, I would like to move in with you"

Wonderful purple prose.

Come on, explain this, is he a goody or baddy?

AnyGhoulKno · 28/10/2009 22:23

your story makes no sense

what would the menfolk make of this? Shouldn't you be servicing your brother in law or something, extended?

AnyGhoulKno · 28/10/2009 22:25

"I have spoken to the local Registrar and she confirms that there is no legal or religious problem with one clincher of many being that an adopted sister is not a blood relative of my late wife."

wtf? we've already established that it's not illegal.

Thanks for the link, will scan it, there's nothing much on TV for the next few hours.

BiteOfFun · 28/10/2009 22:40

You will need a morse code online translation page open for some of it, but it's well worth the effort

aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/10/2009 22:48

really didn't want to bite and post on here but the whole tone of this from the off has made me feel truly sickened
strongly suggest that said sicko man(?)fucks off MN and finds another outlet for his fantasies
your yarns on relationships were bad enough but this is just lower than low
have already reported you twice and hopefully you'll be given the 2 fingers soon by MNHQ
good bloody riddance!!

witcheseve · 28/10/2009 23:26

That thread went crazy. Wonder if this OP will come back to protest his innocence. What a load of bullshit. If it was genuine he could have googled the law on marrying his SIL himself.

Waves to ASBM, I haven't seen the other posts.

aseriouslyblondemoment · 28/10/2009 23:32

eve don't think this deserves anymore of our time or that of the genuinally trying to help people who this no mark has ridiculed

I am sorry that a few of the usual clowns have tried to hijack this thread. When they get bored, usually in the late evening, they like to throw a few allegations around. They never offer even a trace of proof to support their claims ? so it is all rather sad.

They will be disappointed that I have returned to this happy thread and even more disappointed that I don?t have any sordid or titillating details to share.

So ?. I cannot offer you any stories of noisy sex with my new partner. Nothing about the children walking in on us, nothing about the neighbours complaining in fact nothing at all. On Wednesday afternoon when it might have been on the agenda we got a fit of the giggles when we realised that neither of us had any contraceptives.

I cannot offer you sobbing children screaming that I didn?t love their Mother any more. No long stories of deep, emotional and meaningful chats. The reality was that they were very matter-of-fact about what is happening and really not that bothered. All concerned know that I will never stop loving their Mum and will always cherish her memory.

I cannot even offer you a furious MIL. She was very surprised at our news and was able to show us the bit in Bella that did say exactly what she had told us previously but as probably the least selfish person in the world she would never put her concerns before our happiness.

What I can offer you is genuine and heartfelt thanks to cestlavielife and choosyfloosy who quite literally changed my life.

jamestkirk · 30/10/2009 22:11
