OWW you do never know...... fingers crossed Sunday surprises you!

wet fish please ...... my kids and STBXH's DD are sitting here, laughing and joking about shared childhood memories, holidays in the sun, sledging accidents in the snow and I feel so sad. He turned out to be an abusive bully who treated me like shit but when he was good, he was very very good and we created the most idyllic family life that he left without a backward glance and it absolutely pains me to hear them. I am with someone who is worth 100,000 of him now in Mr EA, but I can't help but mourn the past and those years I wasted. sorry thread! too much wine

JulietteMontague · 05/04/2013 21:25

I have a surprise entry date on Sunday. Lets call him Blond. Coffee, close to me, funny and easy to get along with Smile

That leave the cute 39 man, and the Dutch sailor but although he writes lots and well every day, he lives in Dutchland

WFF that's crap about your job, your union sounds like the best bet.

Grin Tigsy

Scrazy · 05/04/2013 21:44

Tigsy, if it's any consolation at all, the DC's have happy memories.

JulietteMontague · 05/04/2013 21:46

Tigsy what Scazy said, that is something to be proud of and something they will always take with them, lovely.

Tigsy that sort of stuff can be so difficult to hear, and you get the nostalgia and recherche des temps perdu vibe going and it's all awful and difficult. I still find it horribly difficult to even hear the name of where we used to live, it gives me such a lurch in my stomach, and it's more because of the good memories all gone wrong than the bad stuff. It's mourning for what you thought you had and the life you thought you were going to get.

BUT the children have some lovely memories, they are all good friends despite your ex's machinations, you have the utterly wonderful Mr ExA and life isn't bad at all.

Stick a DVD on and get them off the subject . . . ((Hugs))

You could cut the sexual tension with, oh hang on a minute, THERE IS NO SEXUAL TENSION. Still might snog him but there will be no hanky panky.

Scrazy · 05/04/2013 21:52

Kin, the proof is in the snogging, go for it.

TigsytheTiger · 05/04/2013 21:54

of course you are all right, and actually the joke is on him because I am here with them all, still being part of their lives and he isn't. and Mr EA is utterly wonderful Grin wet fish adminstered, passes back for the next needy recipient ......

JulietteMontague · 05/04/2013 21:59

Kin you seem to have sidestepped the elephant in the room which is THAT PAINTING

Snog him already, see what comes up you might be surprised Grin

OP posts:
Scrazy · 05/04/2013 22:02

Talking of a wet fish, a friend got drunk and snogged a mutual colleague and she described it like kissing a wet fish and he did nothing for her. I could just imagine it! Eww.

48howdidthathappen · 05/04/2013 22:03

Snog him kin he maybe a slow burner. Or not Grin

VelvetSpoon · 05/04/2013 22:03

Tigsy, it's lovely your DC have those memories though, and an enduring friendship with XH's DD too. My DSs have some nice memories (I hope) from their younger years, but none that involve my Ex because he never did anything with or for them. All he does now is give them money. He really never has been any kind of a father.

Kin what of the painting?...we need to know!!

CastroIsDead · 05/04/2013 22:29

evening all. lots of dates going on here. can't decide if you lot make me want to join pof or put me off the idea
im thinking about it still. can't even think up a user name tho and maybe doing it for the wrong reasons?

CastroIsDead · 05/04/2013 22:32

apologies if im not supposed to be here if im not actually on there yet

SPsFanjoTheBigStickyHaribo · 05/04/2013 22:36

Castro Why would your reasons be wrong?

CastroIsDead · 05/04/2013 22:40

because i don't really know what i want and i don't want to be a timewaster. also because i need a distraction from my ex- posting on fb about dinner and sexy time with his new girlfriend :(
