naswm, tell me to p* off if you like but I think you should forget about the ironing tonight, don't drink anymore because you'll only pay for it in the morning. Get yourself wrapped up in a blanket and watch some tv ot something til you fall asleep.

Then you can look at the situation again in the morning.

Wish there was something I could do for you [frustrated emoticon]

joanna4 · 30/05/2006 23:13

you say they were in contact a year ago but put a stop to it is there any reason for this.

naswm · 30/05/2006 23:17

joanna4 · 30/05/2006 23:20

Has he said anymore to you about why or if ther is more behind it or has it all gone a bit tits up for tonight.

Lact8 · 30/05/2006 23:22

naswm, you have taken steps to deal with the problems you've been having. Thats a really difficult process to start and you should feel proud of yourself. When you come out of the other side of this ((and you will!!) you'll realise what a strong person you are.

joanna4 · 30/05/2006 23:22

Now tell me if I am on wrong tangent here but if there was more to it would they have risked it by using an email address accessible to all the family.Anyone with an ounce of undercoverness would have created another way which not anyone else could read.

naswm · 30/05/2006 23:23

ha I am not strong I am naswm In fact right now I am anything but strong I am :( :( L:( and almost crying which is unhead off

OP posts:
Lact8 · 30/05/2006 23:27

oh naswm, you are wrong about being strong, not asking for help is the easy option. Saying you need it and taking it are the hard parts and you've already done that.

I've posted to ou befoer about crying, maybe you should give it a try? It does stop eventually you know!

I've got a shoulder here if you need it

naswm · 30/05/2006 23:28

OP posts:
Lact8 · 30/05/2006 23:36

Does he know your going for counselling?

Risk of repeating myself here, sod the ironing! Just do the minimum you can get away with and put the rest out of sight.

So they were playing on the same game on the internet then? Not sure how those work? Do they have facility to chat too?

naswm · 30/05/2006 23:41

Not being able to do sudoki(sp) doesn't make you a dunce, just means you've got more interesting things to do ith your time like MN!

Seriously though, it seems to me its a case of him doing something he enjoys with someone likeminded. But i imagine your confidence is pretty low at the moment and i know that can affect how we perceive things. Its hard for me to say yes or no as to whether something is going on between them. I can only speak from experience when i say the more i hold things in the bigger they become in my mind. its taken me years to learn to talk openly about my feelings so i appreciate its hard, but have you tried to explain to dh how you feel about him being in contact with her? Is he supporting your decision to go to counselling?

Lact8 · 30/05/2006 23:53

naswm, sorry i took so long to reply, dd woke for a feed and I'm a crap typer.

I'll try to get on here in the morning if you want to chat

Take care
