Western, I'm so sorry.

But I think if it feels at least partly like a relief (despite still hurting) then I think that's a sign you've done the right thing.

Do something nice for yourself this evening - wine, chocolate, long bath, good film (preferably either a comedy or something empowering, nothing sad) and know we are all thinking of and supporting you :)

I am glad you did too OWW and the fact that he showed is true colours at the end does help. You will be ok, I promise. x

lubeybooby · 24/03/2013 18:59

Yes well done OWW. I agree the calmness is down to having found your fight and knowing it's the right thing. Plus I think he also gave you the very last straw right there and then by not coming over. 'yellow bellied bullshitting toad' yes, I'm in total agreement.

Keep that phrase in mind if those sentimental thoughts ever creep in and you find it hard, that's all you'll need to think to remember all the reasons

OWW you have my total admiration, when you find someone worthy of you he is going to be awesome.

OhWesternWind · 24/03/2013 19:00

It's okay, I've done most of my fretting and crying over this as we've gone along. It will be fine. I will miss having someone to go out with but that is soon sorted!

lubeybooby · 24/03/2013 19:03

That's like me and my exh, OWW. I've still never shed a tear over him since I left. All the grieving was done while I was still there. Speaks volumes about it being the right thing!

I'm with Juliette on the admiration too.

Hadn't even noticed that post Shock.

ike1 · 24/03/2013 19:08

Good Lubes didnt want to feed the troll but just noticed ...right, as you all were..

OhWesternWind · 24/03/2013 19:09

I've done what's right for me - probably I gave him too many chances, should have finished it earlier this month but hey. Loads of selfish talk all about himself, nothing I wanted to hear.

We did have some very good times and I've moved on a lot inside, got over some hurdles, changed in my views about relationships.

Someone better is not very far away and I'm looking forward to that.

ike1 · 24/03/2013 19:14

Totally agree OWW ..you saved yourself a few months of getting embittered and silly behaviour (I am mainly talking about myself here, mind)

JulietteMontague · 24/03/2013 19:16

I hadn't noticed either.

OhWesternWind · 24/03/2013 19:16

Oh but ike I loved your FB thing!

ike1 · 24/03/2013 19:18

Yeah but it was silly though....and I would never do that in a fully functioning relationship mainly because I would respect the person too much!

Snapespeare · 24/03/2013 19:24

OWW well done you. :) you've been very forthright and looked after yourself and I really admire that in a person. :)

KinNora · 24/03/2013 19:24

I didn't notice the post either but the user name has me a bit Hmm

OhWesternWind · 24/03/2013 19:26

Thank you everyone for all your support and encouragement. It's helped me so much.

ike1 · 24/03/2013 19:27

Well just checked and whoever the idiot is has just had a silly half hour....remember its the school hols...

KinNora · 24/03/2013 19:30

(Yeah, Ike I just searched too, probably being paranoid )

OWW the best way to thank us is for you to end up genuinely happy, with a wonderful life and a man who is worthy of you.

lubeybooby · 24/03/2013 19:32

It's been deleted now :)

ike1 · 24/03/2013 19:32

Oh good!

MsCellophane · 24/03/2013 19:34

Really sorry that the twunt couldn't be an adult and discuss things with you in person OWW

You will be fine, there will be someone, somewhere who will treat you how you deserve to be treated

Movingforward123 · 24/03/2013 19:35

Western - what an arse he is for not coming over to speak like adults! That's exactly what mrworkaholic did so I know how crap it feels.

But like the others said, you are better off without him Hmm and can I just say you are a great woman and you really do deserve someone better!

And yes as velvet said, be kind to yourself tonight and we are always here. xxxx

MirandaWest · 24/03/2013 19:35

I have (finally) cleaned the bathroom Blush. Has been good actually having a weekend to myself, now a rare thing but does prove I am inherently lazy. Hmm.

Now to sort my room out a bit. Why do I grow so much crap?
