Has no one beat me to it with a new thread yet?

OP posts:

Door has been shut in his face, last night because, he says not, but he was wanting somewhere to sleep and this morning as he was wanting somewhere to hang out while I was at work. No way! He should be in a live in job by the weekend but I'm not giving anymore. DD doesn't want him in the house anyway so even if I did want to spend time with him I carn't.

Totally tedious but one look in his eyes and I feel like giving in. It's not like me to be like this. I've lost my marbles.

lou33 · 28/04/2010 10:05

I would be getting really pissed off by now. Shall I send mechanic round to get rid? Lol

Remotew · 28/04/2010 10:13

Great idea Lou.

I've been trying hard to keep things on an amicable level. I could have arranged somthing like that. He must have got the message now. I'm hoping I have dealt with it OK and got rid but....

What do I do about these ridiculous feelings? It's a long time since I've had any so why for such a (words fail me).

Mid life crisis or breakdown? I don't think he even likes me.

SingleMum01 · 28/04/2010 10:36

can anyone tell me the point of signing up to match DD and not subscribing as you can only wink?! how on earth are you supposed to chat to someone?!

Remotew · 28/04/2010 11:21

SM01, unless everyone is will to pay up on these site it's mostly them using profiles to advertise, look at the totty on here, now join.

hi thanks for the tips.

did canestan last night, gp said to day it was good to do that, but aggrivated dd too much, thats why i had to wash it off again.

anyhow, two trips to gp today, and gp convinced it's allergic reaction to new leggings, as i thought. b/day gift i let her put on, without laundering first, grrr.

she redness has abated slightly, urine sample clear. no discharge, just sorenes and stingy.

is on nintendo ds downstairs with skirt on (which is painful in itslef for my little tomboy!) and fresh air is circulating.

am still texting with shop man,

told polish to get his act together if he is serious about being on a date site.

new one, single dad, is emailing on pof, very funny and almost seems normal.

man on meetic is winking to me, althe time, and has re writtien his profile to tell 'people' he is not a full member yet but to please keep in touch.

that's more winking then.

piratecat · 28/04/2010 11:40

eve, belive me, it's not simple all this malrky, but the feeling will fade. Promise. give it time, and distance.
x

mrsmharket · 28/04/2010 14:01

gawd it took me half hour to catch up again lol

elastamum · 28/04/2010 14:15

hi Eve, Been there myself, need to push him out of your life then out of your mind. Everytime you think of him repeat 'no, he is a TW**T' at least 3 times. In my experience it waers off after about a week or two but you have to stick to your detox!!!

SingleMum01 · 28/04/2010 14:23

Eve - what a wind up though when someone you fancies emails you a couple of times and you can't read it!

mrsmharket · 28/04/2010 14:27

pc - hope dd had happy birthday, hope she feeling better now as for shopguy, wasn't sure what to think when you said 'younger' then 'knackered' in your next sentence

betty - with the lack of spark on the first date, sometimes could it be due to nerves or a proper lack of 'spark'?

janos - with the bears and woods yes they do lol

eve - when's your op? will keep fingers crossed for you hows things with salesman?

juice - am not entirely sure haven't seen her since but then am not looking out the window like a curtain twitcher, am not that bothered it was just interesting in light of what he'd said to me - i should knwo better really for motorola situation.
forces guy may well be wanting to suprise you but we mner's want to know WHEN the stuffing never crossed my mind til you mentioned it i do however, agree with you about seeing the type of loser someone is before geting involved with them.

kdk - buyers vs sellers lmao possibly you could go bowling with bluebeard then as juice said you could see what kind of loser he is and if those first date nerves caused the lack of spark, though wouldn't meet at your house for a few more dates

SingleMum01 · 28/04/2010 14:38

Hi Mrs M

mrsm - bab is a midlands thing!!!

how many am I chatting to? chatting to 4 on one site Don't know if I'll meet up with any of them,although one has suggested it, 2 are an hour away.

one other is on a paid site I can only wink at and its winding me up! He's sent me 2 emails and I can't read them!

Still want to send older bloke a text too

mrsmharket · 28/04/2010 14:44

hi sm

why not meet up and see what happens from there?
as for older man, it's understandable you still want to text him, could you get rid of his number and all associated text messages and then you won't be able to iyswim

mrsmharket · 28/04/2010 14:46

betty - sorry what's happening with goggles?

piratecat · 28/04/2010 14:53

sm , my offer still goes, if you want me to contact them for you?

thesouthsbelle · 28/04/2010 15:16

back, college not bad, spent far too much, date sorted with soldier for tomorrow provided can get mum to sit.

aside from that will catch up later. house is a tip & mums over for tea - eek!

Juicy - no when XH is here - i'm not here - so we're not living together under the same roof - he comes in the back door and 20 mins later I go out the front. they were literally sharing a house etc etc besides XH's visits are once a fortnight if DS is lucky - at the mo it's more once every 6 weeks.

mrsmharket · 28/04/2010 15:25

belle - yay!! and eek!!

mrsmharket · 28/04/2010 15:50

i tried to access pof from another library pc and it's still blocked. when i glanced at the address bar tho it said 'getiton.com'

lou33 · 28/04/2010 15:59

ooh hope it all goes well on the date belle

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 28/04/2010 16:16

belle - do you come back and sleep in the house? or go sleep elsewhere when exh has his access in your house?

and at you arranging a date for tomorrow... now... what shall you wear

mrsm - get curtain twitching so us mners can find out

pc - i am still waiting to see what happened with shop man...

i think pc's shop man chasing her out of the shop will have to be included in the fit thread novel

i've just had a leprauchan calling me to see what i want for dinner, and if i need any mixers for my bombay saphire he's got sitting waiting for me ... so... he may be an alcoholic... but at least that means he knows to have my favourite spirit sitting waiting with ice and slice ... looks like i'm definately on for tonight.

gosh i'm nervous. someone slap me! it's ridiculous. i keep repeating the mantra that we're not going to have sex, i'm not going to smoke, and i've to try and keep him reasonably sober so he doesn't have a hangover for his operation tomorrow.

its good distraction from forces though. i also need a slap for thinking about what he is up to. shouldn't be wasting any head space on him at all.

only had 5 texts from motorola. i asked him for some space last night and told him he was too high maintenance for me. aparently 5 texts is giving space

lou33 · 28/04/2010 16:21

you could say that by shagging him all night it would make sure is is not hungover and ok for the op?

just trying to help btw

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 28/04/2010 16:26

lou .. stop putting ideas in my head!

he's really scared.. and you have seen what he likes like. not the type of person you would imagine to be afraid.

i can think of ways to distract him though

lou33 · 28/04/2010 16:33

oh pffft, you know you already thought that

what is the op for?

you know the 2 week ban i was meant to have after my op.....

DONTtouchMUMSspecialJUICE · 28/04/2010 16:37

getting knocked out to have his wisdom teeth removed. he needs whole hog. all 4 removed. cut open, removed from bone. then sewn back up again. ouch!

i may have thought about it a little.

lou33 · 28/04/2010 16:39

ow

he will look all puffy faced and swollen and you might go off him, so get the action in beforehand

just my opinion of course .....
