6 weeks of C/mas adverts
6 weeks of C/mas tv trailers
6 weeks of C/mas songs
6 weeks of Buble asking, baby please come home for C/mas
6 weeks of moody people trudging round shops not caring if they're in your way
6 weeks of C/mas decorations everywhere

3 months of tears over my H and OW
3 months of anxiety
3 months of uncertainty
3 months of game-playing from H
3 months of utter sadness
3 months of mental abuse

2 months of discovering myself
2 months of organising my life
2 months of lots of hugs from those who do love me
2 months of amazing support from MNers - you know who you are
2 months of Pilates (it does work)

2 days until it's all over
2 days until 2014 plan can start
2 days until I spend time with my loving family

1 year since I spent the most amazing last C/mas with my H after a tragic year

9 days until Sherlock episode 3!

It would have been my 11 year anniversary today but instead my H is on a 2 week holiday with OW.

It's tough, it hurts, the pain is immeasurable but, I have survived this year. I appreciate the support of MN, don't know what I would have done at times without it. Those that know my story on here probably know where I would be.....

Join me if you would like to rant, cry or have a bottle glass of wine xx

I have been on your threads. You are so strong and brave, I know you will be ok in 2014 and will go from strength to strength. I'm home with the dcs tonight, will be cracking open a beer in a minute and will raise a glass with you for bigger and better things to come our way! Smile

Hate xmas. I'll have a slug (of wine, not the slimy type)

JaceyBee · 23/12/2013 21:55

Cheers to you too redundant! Let's hope yoga lady shits all over him from a great height, eh! Wink

redundantandbitter · 23/12/2013 22:00

Cheers - did a Stoopid thing today and had a sneaky look at his Twittering .. He posted this

When you love someone, the best thing you can offer him or her is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?

WTF? I REALLY need to NOT do that again. What Least your EXH hasn't turned into weird 'spiritual' guy.

It's a good job I don't drink - off for another brew. LA LA LA

Repeat after me WE ARE ALL GORGEOUS!

Haha, he tweeted what?! What does that even mean?? What a colossal wally he is! I think there may be trouble ahead for him, you know - mark my words! X

Whatnext074 · 23/12/2013 22:06

R&B, stop looking at Twitter!!! Why these people feel they need to declare their love to all I don't know! Tell the person you're with rather than telling the whole social network!!

So glad I'm off FB! Plus no, my H isn't spiritual, he's a FWH who has no morals and is spending our money on his bint. Plus, yes, I wasn't joking when I said I was drinking wine - although not really from the bottle as I am a lady.....Wink

bastard

I know I know... I still love him but JESUS sometimes it's just embarrassing

My 5 yr old dd has been coughing since arriving home from weekend at her dads, and is now plonked on my knee on the sofa under a blanket.its gonna be a long night.., and work want us all in an hour earlier than usual tomorrow - OUCH!!!

itwillgetbettersoon · 23/12/2013 22:12

I will have a large glass of bubbly and raise a toast to all of us who have been through what you are going through What. We are a fabulous bunch - onwards and upwards! X

Whatnext074 · 23/12/2013 22:20

R&B - please stop, you're only hurting yourself and he's not worth the pain. I could look at her FB page again (have been close to it) but I won't as I couldn't bear to see their photos. Love him for what he was, not for what he is and try and let go.

itwillgetbettersoon - thank you x
