Morning everyone - finally caught up again!! You lot don't half rabbit :)

OWW - I have also been in the same situation, it's rubbish. Mine went on for far too long with me adapting what I wanted from the relationship so much just to see him - in the end I barely got crumbs. It is such a miserable way to be and I hardly recognized myself by the end. I do believe that he loves me but is completely emotionally unavailable. He is still in contact, I hope yours leaves you alone and doesn't mess with your head anymore.

I went on my first ever date on Friday and we really hit it off :) I'm seeing him again tonight! I'm driving so no dutch courage this time, yikes!!

Oh apparently codeine is good for coughing according to dr A.D...what a cure all! Up again hacking out the ol guts...

lulubellaboozle · 25/03/2013 09:27

OWW way to go! I think a few dates over the Easter break could be just the tonic you need!

OhWesternWind · 25/03/2013 09:27

Fed sorry to hear you've been in the same situation. It's a bit rubbish, isn't it? Well I will know now not to go there again, seems like there are quite a few blokes like this out there! Whether or not my one gets in touch again, I honestly don't care. I wouldn't go back there again now. Glad your date went well and good luck for tonight!

48howdidthathappen · 25/03/2013 09:28

Catching up.

OWW You are AWESOME Smile

Scatty About 5 weeks on ADs for me. I am me again. It feels good.

I have had a fab weekend with Mr R&R. I told him in a very drunken moment of passion that I am a little in love with him Shock Grin

MirandaWest · 25/03/2013 09:33

Was wondering how your weekend had been 48 :)

Scrazy · 25/03/2013 09:34

OWW, no don't let him know how you feel. It gives him the power, let him stew and go no contact.

OhWesternWind · 25/03/2013 10:07

Absolutely, Scrazy, have deleted his contact details but don't know how to get rid of his phone number out of my "Recents" - it still shows up even though it doesn't have a name against it. Still I don't think I will be tempted. Blocked him on FB, deleted all his texts to me. That is it, no point in hanging round weeping and wailing about it. Not feeling too bad at the moment, sad and disappointed, yes, but I also feel quite relieved and NOT WHITTLY!!! I think he is probably having a worse day than I am, especially when people start pooing in his shop Grin

48 glad things are good with Mr R&R. What did he say back?

SweetSeraphim · 25/03/2013 10:10

OWW you are doing bloody brilliantly! I know you've been umm-ing and aah-ing about this for ages, but once you'd made the decision, you have had a complete turnaround. Not to be patronising, but I'm so proud of you.

How nice is it to not feel whittly? Grin

Scrazy · 25/03/2013 10:11

I did the same deleted everything from my phone. Trouble was his number is out there iyswim so easy to get hold of but I did quite well on the NC front for a good while.

48 what did Mr R&R say back or has he already spilled.

48howdidthathappen · 25/03/2013 10:19

Haha! OWW Bring on the Poo Grin

I can't remember what he said. I was pissed. He was sober Blush I don't much care if I am honest. I am usually so much in control. Nice to just let it out. He always makes me feel loved Smile

OhWesternWind · 25/03/2013 10:22

Poonami

SweetSeraphim · 25/03/2013 10:27

Which town is his shop in, OWW? I'd be happy to pop in if it's nearby Grin

MirandaWest · 25/03/2013 10:28

Not feeling Whittley is Very Good :)

Got house ready for impending arrival of parents. Come into town and taken bike to have its back brake pads sorted out. Now need to mystery shop a bit and also take things back that I mystery shopped another day.

Am getting a little excited that Mr Nice comes back tomorrow :) Althiugh not impressed with the forecast for Leeds Bradford airport which is showing snow for tomorrow Hmm. Their flight from America comes into Heathrow and then one up here so if it does snow they can come up by train or something I suppose. I want the romantic meeting in the airport though (with attendant 18 year old Grin)

SweetSeraphim · 25/03/2013 10:29

Or poop in Grin

Maybe TMI Blush

I have no recollection of this, was seriously hammered. Apparently I gave him a BJ in the car on our way home.

He said he drove very slowly Grin

lulubellaboozle · 25/03/2013 10:37

he said he drove very slowly ... until he reached his final destination!

My driveway Shock Blush

SueFawley · 25/03/2013 11:01

Briefly coming out of long-time lurkdom on the thread to offer my pooing in his shop services too Grin

OWW you are doing really well. After my divorce I spent years in a similar situation. My experience of men like this is that he may try to worm back in at some point. Just be prepared for that possibility and don't let him sweet talk you back round. Men like this are full of the right words but their actions don't match what they say.

ok back to lurkdom

lulubellaboozle · 25/03/2013 11:21

Excellent timing then 48!

Bant · 25/03/2013 11:21

I believe the tradition is to actually poo in a paper bag, set it on fire and leave it on his doorstep. So he stamps out the fire and gets poo on his shoes.

Anyway. Spent most of the weekend with Buffy, apart from a bit of mutual 'me-time' when I went shopping and bought a far-too-expensive coffee machine. Then we sat down at my place and watched the Walking Dead together, where we tried to out-gross each other with creative ways to kill zombies. Then we had lots of extremely good sex.

(I should point out that zombies are not a fetish, that's just the way the evening panned out)

She's geeky, attractive and great in bed. We've talked about the fact she's moving back to the US in just over a month, agreed it's not going to be a long term thing as we're going to be a few thousand miles apart with no real possibility of meeting up more than once every couple of months, and we're both okay with that. Shame though.

In other news, I keep getting messages from my now-dormant Match account, saying that of the 30 or so women matching my criteria in Budapest on there, 15 of them have winked at me.

Which is nice.

JulietteMontague · 25/03/2013 11:23

OWW this feels like the launch on a new woman, mankind won't know what's hit it Grin

48 I love you! are you sure you were talking to the right part of him? Grin

Miranda you may have to channel your inner Celia Johnson and do a Brief Encounter instead Grin

MirandaWest · 25/03/2013 11:37

I love Brief Encounter. Is one of my all time favourite films :)

(Probably sound a bit like her tbh Blush)
