Have fun swimming norma - E will probably sleep for England afterwards (hopefully....)

anewme · 07/07/2007 10:23

Just done something really stupid. Drove past the house of the woman my DH left me for and his car was up her drive. I know this may seem obvious but it hurt like mad and i'm just distraught. I am just sobbing and i know i've done it to myself but i couldn't help it. look at him and look at me. it's not fair. i didnt do anything wrong.

CaptainDippy · 07/07/2007 10:28

Awwwww, sweetheart, (((((hugs)))))

anewme · 07/07/2007 10:29

i am so stupid arent I? i know they are together but he is my husband. We've grown up together,done evrything togather... I feel so cheated.

CaptainDippy · 07/07/2007 10:44

Understandably so sweetheart. I would be devastated. Do you have much support around you where you are??

runnyhabbit · 07/07/2007 11:05

Morning all!

Sun is shining here - yay! So going to make the most of it and get some washing on the line.

Then we are going to chose new flooring for our hall (haven't had any flooring on it for 2 years) and I think go and sort a new mobile out for me, as I'm due for an upgrade. Such an exciting life

anewme · 07/07/2007 11:14

i do, i've got lots of friends and family but without my DH still feel so alone sometimes. if he was alone too would feel so much better.

anewme, what you're going through must be so hard - how long were you together for? Of course it's going to hurt that he's with someone new and you're not, and grieving for your relationship has to take time. There will come a time when you'll be over it and ready for a new relationship with someone who'll be better for you, often good things happen when you're least expecting it. In the meantime, take care of yourself and you know where there are all these crazy people online you can talk to

Aftrnoon again

Have got loads of gardening done - now just need to go food shopping and get food ready for tonight phew!!!

Maveta - I obviously would say onelife but have used motherease too - I think the onelife are softer, stretchier and slightly bigger so they do actually last whereas the motherease can get a kind of low rise thing going on as they get towards potty training. I prefer nappies with a bit of polyester in for softness and stretchiness - organic ones can get a bit rough and they shrink too. hth

Must crack on xxx

elkiedee · 07/07/2007 15:16

normabutty, I can't get through to your landline and have obviously copied your mobile wrongly from the computer to my mobile. If you have my mobile phone or text me, if not, maybe you could email
elkiedee @ yahoo dot co dot uk and I'll check later - our train is 3.40 tomorrow so if you're still free to meet up I was thinking some time before 3 pm when I'd like to be back at the station.

Off into Ilkley

Kneehighinnappies · 07/07/2007 16:36

Hello I was going to have a day out today but the sun came out so DH said we have to stay home so he can work in the garden cause he is never going to get another chance.

So come on then what's been going on here?????????
Is everyone on msn now?
I feel so left out

anewme · 07/07/2007 16:45

Girls, AF has arrived, calm restored and perspective (slightly) regained. God, what a day. Won't be doing that again.You should see what i look like. Red eyes, Scarlett nose, not my most attractive.
A day shopping with my best friends helped lots. However when i think of it, still feel physically sick.
Elkidee, we were together for 7 years, living together for 5, married nearly 1.
Just had texts off 2 of our mutual friends this pm to say they are both engaged.
There's some social situations that should be interesting....

leakyR · 07/07/2007 17:09

Hello I am at in-laws, G is snoozing, DH has gone for a run. It's raining so I guess we won't be eating in the garden tonight

Anewme Glad you've got someone there to make you feel better. You have to let yourself grieve for your lost relationship, eventually it will hurt less and you'll realise you're in a better place without him. You deserve better hun - stop punishing yourself

Maveta and WO I know just what you mean about friends not getting the whole babies change your life thing. When G had a huge screaming fit at a friends barbeque a month ago someone said "Can you not just put him upstairs to go to sleep?" Because at 8 weeks old, all babies can settle themselves because mummy wants a burger and a glass of wine

hey loves!

Been away for a few days for bridesmaid dress fittings and to visit family. Absolutely knackered!

Fitting was ok. Felt like I was on Gok Wan's programme when the dressmaker gets out her scissors and starts chopping away at the fabric to make it more flettering - lol! Seriously need some MAGIC PANTS!! This baby has done damage to my abs!

Caught up a bit. I take it we're all on msn now?!! Not got my head round that and facebook yet.

Hope you're all well. Sorry for the vague post. Brain is mush.

CD - thought I'd sent you check before we went away, but came home to find it in the utility room! Put it in post today.

mammyjo · 07/07/2007 20:45

Ellie, really feel for you. Cant imagine how horrible a situation it must be for you. Hopefully it will get easier to deal with over time, and remember, Joe will always save his best smiles for his mummy!
