Evening all. Yes, I do think diet has a lot to do with losing weight. Unfortunately I like my food a lot!

Have a lovely evening Hush.

I only got half way through Scott and Bailey before the internet slowed down and i gave up watching it.

And Im awake because I went upstairs this afternoon to do something and I got into bed by mistake you understand and slept for two hours.

Hushabyemountain98 · 20/04/2016 23:12

Sorry you didn't get to see all of Scott and Bailey notonyur.
Don't apologise for getting into bed by mistake this afternoon and sleeping for two hours!
Very often the best sleep! Apart from messing up your normal sleep pattern!
Good night xx

That's just so heartfelt and eloquent. Flowers

Would it help you to know that even though these may feel like wasted years they are in fact anything but. That your future will be built on them and every year you have ahead of you will seem like more because of what you are going through now.

Hello Kirk,
I am sorry that you are having such a hard time again.
I am thinking of you. I do not really have any wise words for you tonight.
Take care xxx

Hi Hush, did you go out for dinner tonight?
Very well said notonyur and very true. Notonyur's right, you know kirk, once you've waded through this bit it will all be sweeter.
Good night everyone xxx

Hushabyemountain98 · 21/04/2016 23:55

Hello Pisco,
I went to dinner with my friend. I had fish and chips!
We had a very nice evening. A really good chat. The evening flew by!
I agree with what notonyur said too.
Good night xxx

Hushabyemountain98 · 22/04/2016 09:03

Good morning all.
Trying to muster the enthusiasm to get started this morning.
Back to the miserable wet weather again.
Glad I got the grass cut yesterday.
Have to try and channel my energy and emotions into something productive again today.

Hi Hush. How are you doing? X

Hushabyemountain98 · 22/04/2016 17:55

Hi Pisco,
I am okay thanks. Have failed to do much today apart from walking the dogs etc etc. Sat and read a good article about how some me can just move on with OW after a long marriage. One thing that I thought was good was that it said about men missing the moral/ethical chip in their brain!!
What have you been up to today?
The weather has been horrid here today. Have you had the same?
Have a nice evening xxx

OP posts:
PiscoSour66 · 22/04/2016 18:48

Hello Smile. Weather has been reasonable here, but quite cold. I've just being doing the usual, shopping, ferrying kids etc etc! Had a long chat with my dad.
That's interesting about the ethical/moral thing. I would have said that prior to this my ex had very strong morals/ethics without having to prove them all the time. But I don't suppose they were put to the test much. And then one day they just completely disappeared! It really is the strangest thing. Probably one of the reasons why I can't get my head around what has happened.
Not doing anything at all this evening. It will be Bailey's time very shortly! Xxx

Hushabyemountain98 · 22/04/2016 20:00

Hello Pisco,
Glad you had better weather than we have had here.
It sounds as though you have been busy.
Glad you had a long chat with your Dad.
I have been doing too much thinking today.
I have to try and stop as it just does my head in!
My friend told me last night that I really need to put myself first and I have to try not to think what he is doing with her.
I will join you in a Baileys xxx

notonyurjellybellynelly · 23/04/2016 03:07

Husha, a genuine question here re the article you mentioned and I'm sorry if I hurt you but when you speak of how some men can just move on after a long marriage do you count your husband as one of those men who just walk away? Or do you count him as a serial cheat who has been able to walk away because of who he is - someone who was never really in the marriage in the proper sense in the first place?

And I'm going to pick up on something Pico said about people with strong morals. Well, You know the old saying - the biggest hypocrite carries the biggest Bible. Well what I was going to say is along those lines and I'm sure people will get my drift.

Please don't think I'm challenging things said here in order to hurt anyone because I'm not. Im just offering up other ways for people to look at things in order to try and make them think and perhaps get a clearer picture of what reality was/is.

Kirk - I hope you're inside is more in tune with your outside today. Xxx

Here's to a good day for all of us. Weather wise is bloody roasting here but I've noticed on the TV that the Queen is wearing a headscarf when out and about - you must all be having some great weather. Envy Grin

Kirk123 · 23/04/2016 12:07

Hi ladies , I am still doing the essay 😢, it's too sunny to be inside ! During my wobble few days , I started making myself think about my marriage and was my ex a serial cheat ? Was he always looking for someone ? I discussed this with my friend and she said does it matter ? I think it does as it is making me remember the times I choose to ignore signs when the kids were younger , he even changed religion to be a catholic like me ! The thing is he wasn't happy in himself and I tried too hard to make him happy ! That's not my job any more well it never was my job ! Now my own happiness is more important ❤️

Hushabyemountain98 · 23/04/2016 13:15

Hi notonyur and Kirk,
notonyurI have been here wondering what to write but I do not think that I can even go there as if I do that will make our whole marriage a sham!
Kirk I hope your essay writing goes well.
You are right it isn't your job to make him happy any more.
As I keep being told we have to put ourselves first now. Trouble is that is easier said than done.
Enjoy the sun xxx

It's hail stoning here. No sun for us!

How are you Hush?

Hushabyemountain98 · 23/04/2016 16:10

Hi WTAFF,
Sorry you have hailstones.
We have had some sun today but it is pretty chilly!

I am okay thank you.
My mind started to work overtime. So I went upstairs and did a bit of DIY and cleaning!
Have you had a good day? xx
