and yes you are wonderful, kind, loving and have handled this really well, and of course you are going to stay strong here.

OhWesternWind · 01/03/2013 11:51

Ha Lubey fun times!

Thank you all so much (again). Honestly don't know what I'd do without you.

lubeybooby · 01/03/2013 11:52

Wish I could send you emergency supplies OWW. Whereabouts are you?

Hello!

Just popping in to say I meet someone on POF 3 week ago and its going great! He is lovely and hes not a weirdo either like the rest Grin

lubeybooby · 01/03/2013 11:53

Hello SPs - nice one! What's he like then? Wink

OWW, what Lubey said: 'OWW what snape said, you've handled this brilliantly in the face of such a shit time too. You are brilliant and you are absolutely worthy of far better treatment. So keep holding out (as you already are) til you get it. I really admire you.'

And fantastic news re: grammar school place, it must be a relief for youSmile

SPsFanjoTheBigStickyHaribo · 01/03/2013 12:11

Hes younger! Only by a year though. Has custody if his daughter, works and has his own place. He has taken me and the toddler out few times with him and his daughter. Hes booked Peppa Pig World for all four of us in 2 week too.

He is great tbh. I doesn't feel awkward or that its only been a few week if seeing each other

WarmFuzzyFun · 01/03/2013 12:19

Oh, and good afternoon! Yet again I have been chasing this threat and only just caught up with all the events.

SP, it all sounds lovely, enjoy!

Snape and Velvet Smile

And Lubey - girl I want some, share Envy. Remember to pace yourself, and get some energy drinks in the cupboard, you may need them Wink

I have well and truly broken my vows, and have been up to my usual.

lubeybooby · 01/03/2013 12:23

How lovely SPs! He sounds nice and really glad it's going well for you. It's all much easier believe it or not when you have little DC.

WFF :o

I had a look in the POF forum and found it scary. Could someone tell me where it's sane?

VelvetSpoon · 01/03/2013 13:04

Western, fwiw you've handled this perfectly I think. You've made your point in a v dignified way. I know I wouldn't have done it anywhere near as well.

Lubey, yet another man! Shock I am impressed (actually make that envious, I attract lots of men but invariably ones I don't want?like bloke from school who despite still being on holiday sent me a msg asking if I wanted to skype with him?.erm, no!)

I have a whole weekend with absolutely nothing to do. Haven't had one of those since before Xmas. Seems weird, though I should probably just enjoy it :) can't help wishing a little bit I was seeing C though. Oh well.

JulietteMontague · 01/03/2013 13:18

Velvet of course you will wish you are seeing Cuthbert, he will reappear at some point. I've had a couple of weekends with nothing planned. I joined some MeetUp groups and will be going for a Group Walk on Sunday Shock which for some reason I am feeling a bit shy about.

VoiceofUnreason · 01/03/2013 13:35

juliette I find the forums can be quite amusing if you pick the right thread. And very often it affirms various beliefs in OD and how lots of people find it shit etc. And occasionally you can see someone who you think is reasonable and start up a chat with and who knows....

OWW - Your text was spot on and I agree with what lubey said also

48howdidthathappen · 01/03/2013 13:49

OWW I so sorry LM has let you down (((hugs))) really shitty of him.

You have handled it with dignity. You have class.

Ball most definately in his court.

Snapespeare · 01/03/2013 14:07

i asked nameless 'when would suit'

he responsed, 'birthday suit - any time'

it's wrong to leave work now isn't it.... ?

lubeybooby · 01/03/2013 15:26

No snape. No it isn't, fly my pretty!

Velv I don't know what's happening Shock but I'm gonna make hay while the sun shines, or something! :o

OWW hope you're ok

OP posts:
OhWesternWind · 01/03/2013 15:27

Should I just let him stew? Nothing since the text saying that I was right with what I said last night. Don't really know what that means in terms of what, if anything, he's going to do about things.

What he has not said: sorry, I'll make things right, I love you, how are you feeling, let's meet up and sort this out.

He has his boys this weekend so bad timing for meeting up even if he was going to suggest it.

I hate this waiting. Would rather just talk and sort it out.

OhWesternWind · 01/03/2013 15:32

Hope you've gone, Snape!

Snapespeare · 01/03/2013 15:37

still here ... going soon. Grin

OWW he's admitted that you're right and is probably in an ultra-low place now, so it might not be the right time for him to talk about it and it won't be a productive talk if he feels corralled into it...so because of that, I'd wait just now - possibly send a text tomorrow if you haven't heard from him, because he might need some space to acclimatise.

OhWesternWind · 01/03/2013 15:39

Go, woman, what's wrong with you?

Snapespeare · 01/03/2013 15:51

work.... but i've actually worked myself into a place of hysteria given we have enjoyed a productive afternoon running our photos through a celebrity face matching app and I AM BEYONCE!

Hmm
ordinarybloke · 01/03/2013 15:53

oww-sorry to hear about LM.he is being very selfish,but might be feeling v.low and thinking everything is against him at the moment. i would give it a couple of days,but then tell him that this cannot happen again,otherwise it will be over.

and congrats on your daughter and the school-it shows what a great parent you are.I am sure your dad would have been very proud.

OhWesternWind · 01/03/2013 16:24

Yep, Snape and Bloke things aren't going well for LM at the moment. I feel bad about landing my shit on him too, but I had to take a stand. There's all the stuff about his dad, his shop fitters are late, all this stuff yesterday, some other work stuff going on, and now me. He must be feeling very low.

Thanks for saying that about my dd Bloke. I hope my dad would have been really proud of her. She's worked hard.
