Well, sweetie, you'll be up and down for a bit. That's perfectly normal. :)

KinNora · 24/03/2013 20:59

I think that's normal OWW, probably the come down from the stress hormones. Talk to us - giant, f-off, massive hug

ike1 · 24/03/2013 21:00

ike1 · 24/03/2013 21:01

ike1 · 24/03/2013 21:03

Oh Eco/Bio guy is back...but not that bothered anymore...prefer Mr Herbalist now...a much warmer (if very keen) character!

OhWesternWind · 24/03/2013 21:06

Just can't understand really what went so wrong and how I could have been so stupid. I asked him outright a couple of weeks ago if he wanted to be with me and he came straight back with a yes and I believed him. Can't believe I won't see him again. My dd is upset as they got on really well with his children, all that is gone for them too. I trusted him and believed what he said and I feel like a total fool.

WarmFuzzyFun · 24/03/2013 21:12

Found them..do we want some more...

  1. Develop a thick skin;
  2. Do not invest emotionally too soon;
  3. It's all BS until it actually happens;
  4. Trust your gut instinct;
  5. If it is not fun, stop.
WarmFuzzyFun · 24/03/2013 21:13

Oops Blush smack bang in the middle...sorry xx

lubeybooby · 24/03/2013 21:18

Thanks WFF I've saved them

OWW don't feel like a fool. He did a right number on you - you realised really quickly something wasn't right but he kept you dangling... but your instinct WAS there and nagging at you.

So honestly don't feel stupid.

Thanks for dating rules, like them Grin

I do know this stuff really, I've been doing this for long enough now...but still get caught out.

OhWesternWind · 24/03/2013 21:25

Okay, have been chatting on PoF a bit, going quite well I must say. Like lambs to the slaughter . . .

VelvetSpoon · 24/03/2013 21:26

Western, you're not a fool. You're a kind, good person - you obviously treat others with honesty and respect and expect the same back.

I don't think he was deliberately lying to you - I just think he is too selfish/issued-up/busy/whatever to be in any sort of a relationship. That is completely a reflection on him, he should have had sufficient insight to know he couldn't commit himself right from the start. Instead he selfishly ambled along, and allowed you to develop feelings and get hurt.

KinNora · 24/03/2013 21:29

You're not a fool, shall we do a head count of all the women on here who've been in the same situation ? There's me for definite, and I took the snivelling moron back ( and yes, if you're reading, that is you, you wanker ) four times.

Sometimes people let you down, it means that they're fools for not seizing and cherishing the best thing to ever happen in their drab little lives - fuck 'em.

JulietteMontague · 24/03/2013 21:31

and me , more than one of them.

ike1 · 24/03/2013 21:32

Well...I finished with TR or he finished with me every couple of weeks for erm 2 years! So there!

lubeybooby · 24/03/2013 21:38

Me! I was with someone who had two other women on the go and even though it was obvious I still had to catch him at it and see it with my own eyes... airport wanker that is. Who I caught leaving the country with one of his women...

OP posts:
Scrazy · 24/03/2013 21:46

I've been there too. I'm back in touch as well but am not planning on going back, I know I couldn't do it and be Ok with it.

Scrazy · 24/03/2013 21:47

Lubey did you follow him to the airport?

Ike are you and TR still friends?

VelvetSpoon · 24/03/2013 21:47

Well I stayed with the Evil Ex for years, even though I never loved him, didn't even like him much as a person and he made me utterly miserable...that's being a fool.

ike1 · 24/03/2013 21:49

Scrazy we were for 2 weeks in Feb after not speaking for 3 months....guess what happened? Heh...heh..

Scrazy · 24/03/2013 21:50

Oh no Ike, 3 months for us too. Will take that as I warning to keep in virtual touch only.

OhWesternWind · 24/03/2013 21:51

Do you think TR will be back again Ike?

What are we all like? Well, decent, trusting, honest people is what, which is a good thing until you come up against someone who isnt!
