He WASN'T like that man, but all the things he is saying to you know seem aggressive and controlling to me. Breakups do horrible things to people, but he has no right to speak to you like that at all, no right - remember that. I realise your situation is different from what mine was, but he is deliberately trying to hurt you with what he is saying, I can't see any other explanation for it!

DutchOma · 19/03/2010 09:28

I'm only known on this thread for my bad language And I don't even do it much!
Just fishing!!

MaryBS · 19/03/2010 10:21

well, you took the bait DO!

DutchOma · 19/03/2010 10:26

Nom nom

madhairday · 19/03/2010 11:54

TACP I'm going to give you some v un-MN . I am so sad to hear what your h is putting you through at the moment. You sound like you have a great relationship with God that has been deepening and it seems like your h can't cope with that and almost sees it as a rival thing somehow? I don't know the ins and outs of what you have been through but it sounds like he has put you through a lot. I don't have advice but I can pray, and will. Keep on seeking that greater intimacy with God and finding your strength in him - he will never let you down.

PA - how are you? Please rant all you like. Sounds like you are going through a lot at the moment. Sorry to hear about your dd and her struggles. I know that ME can be so debilitating. I do hope you can all find a way through. Will be praying.

My niece is still doing good. I really feel God answered our prayers. I would appreciate prayer just for life - it is so busy at the moment and I've not felt great health wise this week so feel rather snowed under with it all. I do admin work for church and a lot of work in school for governors and PTA and it all seems to be flying at me at once this week, want to curl up in a corner and pretend it's not there

madhairday · 19/03/2010 11:55

PS do you MN pray-ers have a facebook group at all? Or any on FB? would be nice to 'meet' you

JentlyDoesIt · 19/03/2010 13:05

Hello there all,

Praying for you all as always, things have stepped up a gear here - we are only 4 weeks away from the trial so all getting a little fraught. I have been signed off work for 2 weeks with "stress related virus" but it does mean I can rest up and get body and soul prepared for the traumatic time ahead. Work have been brilliant, so understanding.

DS and DD are both well and lively - can you believe DD is going to be 2 in a few weeks?!?! where did my tiny baby go?

DO - hellloooo have you been using naughty words again whilst I haven't been looking

Dippy - hello gorgeous once this hassle is all over, we are planning a long weekend in Eastbourne - this is your first and only warning of a Jently invasion

Hello to everybody else who may or may not remember me (or who were trying to forget me)

Will spend the next couple week catching up properly... off for lunch with DP now. xx xx

weirdbird · 19/03/2010 14:36

Hello

I don't know whether anyone other than CD might remember me, but I used to post a lot till about 3 yrs ago I was on bed rest with my DD2 and so was on the pc a lot, then I had my DD and slowly stopped using the pc and mumsnet as I got more involved in RL groups.

Anyway I am expecting number 3 and it made me come back and take a look at MN again as I found it such a useful resource and support last time around (though am really hoping to avoid the bed rest again!)

Anyway hello to any of those who remember me

WB

MaryBS · 19/03/2010 14:40

WB (welcome back) WB! I remember you!!! Praying you don't need lots of bed rest with this one!

PositiveAttitude · 20/03/2010 07:57

Madhairday - I am on facebook, so are a few others on here, but I really dont know how to hook up if real names aren't used. If you found one of us then we could "suggest" friends. I am not really very good with facebook, so I dont know, but if you wanted to email me (directioneeded at aol dot com) I could let you know my details and go from there. Or I am sure one of the others who know far more about FB than me will come along!

teaandcakeplease · 20/03/2010 08:12

I'm on fb but my privacy settings are high, so I'd be tricky to find.

I gave it up for lent as well. Not missing it as much as I thought I would.

Seeing my hubby later this afternoon, send up an arrow prayer or two for me x

ZipadiSoozi · 20/03/2010 09:58

jently and Weirdbird - Hia, yes I remember you both, continued prayers for you both.

ZipadiSoozi · 20/03/2010 09:59

TACP - many prayers and hugs for you.

CaptainDippy · 20/03/2010 18:27

WeirdBird HELLLLLLLLOOOOO! Congratulations on number three my darling, lovely to "see" you again!

Oooooooooh, Jen - a trip to Eastbourne!!!!!? YEY!!! I can't WAIT to meet you and your hubby and gorgeous children My prayers are with you atm, honey - here whenever you need xxx

teaandcakeplease · 20/03/2010 19:45

Well tonight went ok ish. Still can't decide between us. Still basically blaming me pretty much 100% for our failure.

I'll moan about it on my thread for single ladies though, than hi jack this one.

DutchOma · 21/03/2010 08:53

I am probably neither the first, nor the only one, who would say that there would be a pooint in favour of you making up his mind for him. You can't MAKE him love you, but you can tell him to do his adultery where you cannot see him.

CaptainDippy · 21/03/2010 12:39

Had a lovely morning at church whilst my LO's enjoyed creche. Just sat in God's presence and chilled with a little joining in with worship. I know if I do decide to walk away, everyone in my church would support me, as the pastors know my situation and are trying to support me and also my lovely Christian lady friends.

We have a lovely prayer and chocolate night once every 3 weeks that they've moved to my flat, so I do not need to try and find child care . It's on again this Thursday coming.

I know God is with me, even though my hubby is being a poo. I just want to do whatever God wants here...

Thanks for lovely words and kindness, keep praying especially for my LO's for protection from it all emotionally/ psychologically that they will feel loved, safe, accepted etc.

How's everyone else today? The sun is shining, it's lovely here

BlueEyeshadow · 21/03/2010 18:22

Prayer and chocolate sounds good tacp! Praying for you and your family.

Still no end in sight for my brother and still sleep deprived here! More prayers very appreciated. Thank you!

CaptainDippy · 21/03/2010 19:41

TACP - Sounds super

Continued prayers BES

I am sure you guys all did this yonks before they were three, but my little baby P is sleeping in her Big Girl Bed for the very first time tonight!!!!! She's gone down, no probs, so let's hop she stays there, doesn't fall out and doesn't get up in the middle of the night Eeeeek!!!!!

OP posts:
teaandcakeplease · 21/03/2010 19:53

It's a chocolate fountain we use and dip fruit in. Although a lot of the ladies gave up chocolate for lent

Captain D - my LO only moved into a bed sooner as she learnt how to lever herself out and hurt herself. Too scared she'd do it again if I didn't bite the bullet - so to speak. It was lovely when she moved into a bed, I loved it. But you're a dab hand with lots of children, unlike me with only 2 and only one in a bed so far.

mufti · 21/03/2010 21:21

we ONLY did it sooner with a bed guard attached CD!

CaptainDippy · 21/03/2010 22:42

So far, so good Went to bed like a dream and is snoring away, has hardly moved

OP posts:
CaptainDippy · 22/03/2010 11:34
