Still finding it hard to move on......

[Hobbitwife001]

Hello everyone, this is a continuation of my previous thread, so a big welcome to everyone who participated on that one, and hello to anyone new who would like to join in this one.

A little recap of my story, my husband of 27 years left four months ago for another woman that I considered a friend. We live in a small village, and he has moved in with her and her son around the corner from the family home.

I have two sons at home with me, they are 23 and 19, the youngest has Asperger's syndrome and dyspraxia.

I am having counselling to help me get over the massive shock of his betrayal, for months I couldn't sleep or eat very much and started to suffer panic attacks and anxiety.

At the moment I am at the nisi stage of our divorce, I have petitioned for unreasonable behaviour. I am now trying to get the best settlement I can before I apply for the absolute. Needless to say, he is trying not to provide any provision for my youngest son, and has put forward a 50/50 proposal for division of the assets.

So, let's carry on ladies shall we?

Hmmm...dare I ask what can of 'dog' am I Izzie?

Pancake day is in February? Really? That, I shall celebrate then...

DD1 has decreed we are to have Pancake Day on Sunday as she has to go back to uni after. Never liked pancakes personally but like tossing them

We have a big old softy loveable yellow labrador...very old! One of the reasons we are currently living where we are due to restrictions in most rentals round here on pets.

WWK something elegant, slightly disdainful but not arrogant, fun loving...don't know why but red setter comes to mind

WWK temperament wise, a border collie. Very intelligent, very in control, very alert

But.....I think you may look more like the other dog....

WWK oh come on then! what dog am I

I's average height!!! Actually, compared to Hobbit I am gargantuan.

I do love Borders though - but I has two cats so no can do. Will be getting myself a rescue mongrel in future months, judge permitting me having a life after divorce, and not siding with the arse. I have it all mapped out...

I is Hobbit size, maybe smaller.

I like mongrels too. I'm a bit scared of cats, don't understand them

Yes of course she would like you Izzie , after you had given her her own body weight in sausages of course!
Actually, WWK, is more of an Afgan Hound, leggy, blonde, and as mad as box of frogs, but with a lovely, gentle nature.
Except when there be dragons < ex-husbands> to slay.

I'm afraid I'm no expert on dogs - I just know I luffs them but haven't had one since was in childhood. Was hoping to get a dog when My Arse fucked off and left all my future plans in disarray.

So, I can only recommend cats. So you're small and talk a lot. I give you...

my cat!

Hobbit stop with the Afghan thing...

His holy Arse decrees I go to work there...

There are just some things that brings about spontaneous combustion.

I can do sausages for a cuddle

Blonde AND leggy? Pah!

I see you as a Jack Russell, Izzie, small but ferocious when cornered, determined and steadfast, and never stops barking! Tee Hee , I likes this game, what about Drifting?

Blonde, leggy, used to have a fat arse...but he fucked off.

Meh.

Well we all know drifting has a terrier but we don't know what kind. That said we don't know who purchased his dog, so I'm getting the impression of:

fundamentally happy dog
fundamentally loyal dog
Dog who doesn't let sleeping disorder dogs lie.
So fundamentally good dog...

Still don't have a scooby doo about dogs though so grasping at straws to contribute to this convo.

Bengal huh? Very distinctive with a touch of danger. And would make a lovely pair of gloves if it did t work out

Hobbit as long as I'm not a yappy yorkie or a chihuahua. I will settle for that!

Drifting, a Labrador. Dependable, loyal, calm. F knows why I said calm, my labs were anything but!

Yep, we cat owners also select our cats to represent ourselves...

She's an amazing 'muffler' because she's a cat who sits on my lap, a happening that only started when My Arse fucked off.

Cats are bright!

Does she bring in mice? If so, no way!

Mice, rats, birds, chickens and stalks 'baby lambs'. She also has an 'embarrassing' habit of going in to my wardrobe and grabbing knickers and bringing them as gifts to visitors...

I am being divorced for being a witch. Go figure...

Tee Hee, hope she brings out your best pants, not your "granny" ones!

Nope, she's so bright she brings out the appropriately 'embarrassing' knickers...

My granny pants ARE my best ones

Birds? Mice? Rats? Chickens? Shit, all she needs bring in now is frogs and toads and that's my total nightmare. I ain't having the cat!!

Frogs and Toads? Every half hour. The cat has a kill rate which should make us all fear the future...

And I may become your next door neighbour...

All down to the judge!

You are welcome to become my next door neighbour. We have an old witch living next door, so when she pegs it, the house will be vacant. And there's a hole in the fence so your dog can come visit.....

Right, I'm heading up. Early start tomorrow. And then I morph into super painter again. And then, super paint buyer......

Hope you can get some quality sleep WWK. You too Hobbit and all
