AIBU to suggest that *AnyFucker* and *StillDrSethHazlittMD* get a room?

[ItShouldHaveBeenJess]

Because there's something going on there....

Also think Still should shorten his user-name. Tis too long....

EL James? (Slightly nervous). What exactly did you have in mind, DrSeth?!

Hastens to add I have never read EL James or seen that film

Respec'

As a completely bollocks yet to be published writer, I really resent EL James. Didn't she start out writing some twaddly (is that a word? Might explain why I am yet to be published) shite on a Twilight fan-site? Really badly written and the film is like an over-long car/perfume advert not that I have read/seen either

Someone told me they are filming a sequel. Yet I haven't met one person who said the original was any good, so why do they think a sequel will prove popular? No doubt enough curious again to go and spend money on it.

Well, there's our first date sorted...

Oi Jess important info on tother thread

There's another thread on MN?????

Jess

Get your arse over to The Other Thread

NOW!!!

.

DrSeth. I think it is important we do our 'own stuff' as well; experience has taught me that having your own interests/pursuits is very important. I may have posted things on 'the other thread' that you might find hurtful. Stay away or things will become terribly complicated

You are quite right Jess. I've always subscribed to the belief that the strongest healthiest relationships are where a couple have one proper shared interest and a separate interest as well. Then there is stuff you experience together and stuff you can tell the other about over dinner! Otherwise it gets a bit like.....

Wow! He memes as well! 😍 Provided the 'separate interest' isn't Glitter an OW. I remember that dinner very well. It didn't go down too well....

'Memes well'? (am rubbish at puns)

There's always room for Howard and Hilda Hughes. Shows age.

(Googles Howard & Hilda Hughes)

That's who the photo was of. They almost never went anywhere without the other (except work) and almost always dressed alike. Hugely successful sitcom in the mid-80s (you're clearly much younger than me....)

I might remember Ever Decreasing Circles - though obviously I'm ever so young and watched it through my mummy's belly-button while nestled in her womb.

Somehow this is the image I have of youse peoples.

(Apologies for not finding the image insertion tutorial)
(Waits for someone to bite on "insertion")

AndThe Am considerably younger than the lady in the pic, and less 'clingy', too.

Completely useless dull fact of the day. The woman in that photo is Jean Stapleton who was the first choice for Jessica Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote. She turned it down. Angela Lansbury came in and the rest is history and without whom I would have a different (and shorter) user name.

Well Blind Date went well. Can we do Come dine with me? Seth, Glitter and Jess can each bring a dish, and obviously someone else will need to attend/host to update MN on how the evening is going. I volunteer! Or maybe AF would be good for that job. Anyone live central between Cornwall and (where the hell are you other 2 from)?

In my situation i have reached the acceptance stage. DH and i havent been physical since 1996. Hes never been in the best of health and his libido was/is quite low. Ten years ago he had a massive heart attack. He has ischemic heart disease and two years ago was diagnosed with emphysema.

In 2003 after losing a lot of weight i had a long term affair with a work colleugue. Not proud of it but i cant change it. I was on the Depo for this. Felt quite secure on it. I did try to bring it up with DH a couple of times before the affair but didnt press it too much. Looking back now because i didnt/dont want DC i think i didnt press the issue due to fear of pregnancy and because i was very overweight back then (10 stone heavier then) the medics get a bit iffy and panicky over giving you contraception.

Was while i was seeing OM that DH had his heart attack. When OM had come into my life 3 years earlier i had lost 10 stone and turned 30 and it all sort of came together at once.

Contraception choices are crap for the over 40s and i wouldnt want to take any risks I dont want to risk pregnancy because i dont want to risk weight gain AND ive never wanted children and the mini pill didnt suit me . It made me bloated.

So after 20 years i have reached the acceptance stage. Its just the way things are.

a. i worked fucking hard to lose the weight including having to lose a 4 stone regain which has taken the last 3 years.
b. leading a double life messes with your head too much.

Diet. Seeing as we need to bring a transportable (am making up words now) meal; would a Pot Noodle suffice? I'm good at those. sits back and waits for Glitter's ludicrous offering

Helena very honest for sharing. I do agree with 'acceptance' versus 'expectations' on the whole, but while trying to practise this with the ex, he completely took the piss. It's a grey area.
