Hey everyone! I hope all is well!

I am feeling much happier right now as I has sex with mr workaholic! And I know you all think he is terrible but it's just what I need right now, sex, cuddles and to feel something, which I do with him!

Anyway just wondering how many times per night you all want sex? Tonight I feel happy enough. But I could have had it about 4/5 times if he could. And sometimes I get completely frantic if it's not at least 3 times! But many women I have spoke to in RL have said they are happy with sex once maximum twice per night! Confused

MadameOvary · 22/10/2012 23:47

Snape that was defo a sign re Xmas tree and I reckon was prob karma working in your favour. Now, as to this upstart, can we post on the Stetson pic? Something like Omg is that The Stetson? Sooo fucking cool! Etc etc. Feel free to enlist us in your warfare Grin
Oh and if PM's pants are not hanging off your lightshade on presentation of Notebook I will personally construct a Facebook page slagging him and that amoeba-faced trollop right off.
Mac ugh. What is he, 5???

MadameOvary · 23/10/2012 00:05

Moving I'm one of those women! Re first time sex. It's quite often the case for that it's better emotionally than physically, which I prefer to the other way round. The most times I've ever done it was seven because it was his first time and by the end I was seriously frustrated and sore so quality over quantity for me, anytime.

MacAndCheese · 23/10/2012 00:22

Lovely bit of TMI there Madame Grin

Any ideas for a nice brush off? I was thinking

X,
You're a lovely person.
you are far too emotionally immature invested in this already and it's suffocating you fool stressing me out. I think we should take a step back, you do that, I'll run as fast as I can in the opposite direction and and just leave it for a while forever.
Yours,
Mac.

Nice and succinct.

MadameOvary · 23/10/2012 01:07

TMI factor strictly to illustrate my point MacGrin Am far too much of a laydee to go into such cringeworthy detail on a regular basis Grin

So, the text. I would replace "stressing me out" with "alarming me somewhat" just in case the manipulative little toad gets a kick out of potentially winding you up. Better to sound disdainful IMHO.

hatesponge · 23/10/2012 01:29

I like 'alarming me' - agree sounds disdainful, which it should be. He is probably cut from the same cloth as the bloke who dumped me when I was online 2 days after our date and called me a player bloody nutter.

So I am now a member of Match. Sent several emails. The standard of men is a bit ropy, tbh - especially the ones who are winking at/messaging me. But it's free so no harm done...

MadameO, I will PM you with the GSM men :)

snapespeare · 23/10/2012 07:26

Yes, but she was an ex when she was 16 or so.. You know these rekindled teenage romances brought to you by Facebook.

I will keep you informed. Hmm no doubt there will be Stetson pics tonight to entertain you on my fb. Hmm

FateLovesTheFearless · 23/10/2012 07:29

An ex is an ex for a reason Snape Grin is it tonight you are having dinner/unveiling the notebook?

snapespeare · 23/10/2012 07:49

Yes but that was then this is 25 years or so in the future, they're different people now. She was a girl. Now she's a woman. (The consolation is he's still an idiot....)

'Things are going really well, I have a great new job, wonderful friends and all manner of nice things coming into my life ;-)' that's her. She's a 'nice thing' coming into his life.

Right. It's tonight. I'm in a corner, it's notebook time.

Off work today to sit in housing benefit office & case conference for DS1 at school. In between all that, it's the gym on my own for a nice calming swim & a lot of depilation. Action stations hand-holders.

MadameOvary · 23/10/2012 07:54

Morning Snape Am here. Just about to do the nursery run. If you'd like to have my phone number let me know and I'll send it here or on FB.

snapespeare · 23/10/2012 07:55

Because I am not doing this martyrish backing off and being all grown up and giving him 'space' to be in a relationship with someone else again. It's too tiring, I hate it, it takes too much energy. Fuck this.

This will be an interesting day.

Hmm
snapespeare · 23/10/2012 07:57

That is very sweet madameO. Thank you. I will be fine, no matter what, this is a wobble. Ok, she's younger and prettier and has no baggage (well, everyone has baggage, I mean DCs) and....

...I think I'll stop now. I sound quite mad. :)

watchoutforthatsnail · 23/10/2012 08:01

Snape. Good luck, will be thinking of you.

I wont be about till later, start my new job in an hour. I am wearing a suit. I feel like a child that has raided their parents dressing up box!

snapespeare · 23/10/2012 08:07

Happy new job day watch! How exciting! :-) you will be great!

AndLibbyMakesThree · 23/10/2012 08:09

I woke up at 2.30am this morning, and all I could think about was that this is notebook day. Thinking of you, Snape.

Also, good luck with the new job, Watch.

fayster · 23/10/2012 08:20

Good luck, Watch, hope it goes well!

And you, Snape. He's a man, 'all manner of nice things coming into his life' could mean birthday presents. Men aren't often subtle enough for that to mean anything else.

snapespeare · 23/10/2012 08:40

Oh. Do you think I might possibly be overthinking this? Grin

I am having imaginary conversations, if he mentions her in the context of potential gf, I will say,

'Do you honestly have no idea about how I feel about you- because if you do that's actually quite cruel....and if you genuinely don't, here's your third birthday present'

KirstyWirsty · 23/10/2012 08:44

Good luck Watch

Snape glad you are just going to go for it :-)

snapespeare · 23/10/2012 08:47

Uggggggggh. I've googled her.
