Ive been lurking here for a while, it seems like a lot of people are going through something like I am, so was reluctant to post, but feel I need to get it off my chest.

DP and I have been having problems for quite a while, this week we finally sat down and he said hje thought it was best if he moved out.

Its weird, but in spite of feeling like everything is better when hes not around, as soon as he said this I didnt want it to happen.

Im so annoyed with him because if he would just talk to me, it wouldnt have come to this. Weve had councelling in the past and it was helpful, but he seems to be repeating all the old patterns again. He hates his work, tries to get controlling with me and DD, and we have financial probs. But he is the worlds biggest ostrich (with me a close second) and it seems he would rather move out, although he says he still loves me, rather than talk.

Trouble is Im not sure I love him, and part of me is looking forward to doing things my way again.

But I feel so bad for DD, shes noticed our arguments and keeps making comments about it, but I think she'll be heartbroken if we tell her what is going to happen. I just dread it. And telling everyone else too - we live in a small village, so itll be all over like wildfire, and friends and family think were great together, because we dont discuss our problems with anyone else.

I have posted before, but things hadnt quite got this far then.

PC - I'm too old to go clubbing really, but would be happy to take you and Fubsy on a gatronomic tour of Colchester! (That would be over in half an hour and we could then go drinking!)

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 13/05/2007 17:06

Oh, and I feel so out of the MSN group as it is me with the mid-life crisis not h

lou33 · 13/05/2007 17:13

not too old , you!

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 13/05/2007 17:19

Oh, I feel too old Lou. I prefer drinking away from the bars filled with 'beautiful people'. I like meals with girl-friends and lots of alcohol, possibly with a little flirt with the waiter...

lou33 · 13/05/2007 17:20

i do find it interesting to watch the youngsters desperately trying to pull in the pubs and clubs, tho

Paddlechick666 · 13/05/2007 17:20

actually i think you'll find i'm the oldest of the lot of ya!

as for being out of it on the MSN group, firstly you offer a very valuable viewpoint not to mention that your advice is always great. secondly, you've got relationship issues from whatever side they are and they are valid.

thirdly, sorry i haven't posted much on msn this weekend. i kinda feel so immersed in the whole thing at the moment it's actually hard to talk about it all.

will try to reply to some messages tonight.

lou33 · 13/05/2007 17:21

i tried to join but noone got back to me

Paddlechick666 · 13/05/2007 17:21

i approved you on friday i think lou

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 13/05/2007 17:22

Thanks PC. I do worry about being the 'evil' one in the group - you know, as bad as an 'OW'.

lou33 · 13/05/2007 17:22

should i get an email?

Paddlechick666 · 13/05/2007 17:22

in fact i approved you on thursday and you're listed as current.....

Paddlechick666 · 13/05/2007 17:23

yes i think so....

just try going back to the page and seeing if you're in

Paddlechick666 · 13/05/2007 17:24

mrsdkr, you were never the OW tho were you? totally different IMO and you're not evil in the slightest.

lou33 · 13/05/2007 17:25

i didnt get anything i just checked

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 13/05/2007 17:27

No, not an OW, but I nearly had an affair, which I can't believe now! Well, I can believe it nearly happened, but not with G! I feel so stupid that I fell for him, but it is a lesson well learned.

All you others are so loyal and love your dp/dh so much. I feel like I don't really deserve to be in the group because of that. I know I give a different perspective to all your threads, but if I ever make any of you uncomfortable, I would leave.

lou33 · 13/05/2007 17:30

i dont love mine

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 13/05/2007 17:30

hmmm...

Paddlechick666 · 13/05/2007 17:31

the thing is, you didn't do it tho did you, and you have had good reason to look for comfort or diversion outside of your relationship.

as with all of us, you can't change what's happened. we can only look forward and find places for ourselves to be happy with - whatever form that might take.

i don't think you make anyone uncomfortable and i wouldn't want you to leave at all.

please don't think you don't have anything to offer or that you don't belong.

the MSN group isn't about being in a club, it's just about mutual support for life and a bloody good piss up sometime, somewhere!

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 13/05/2007 17:32

Thanks

Paddlechick666 · 13/05/2007 17:33

lou, have you tried accessing the gruop anyway?

if that doesn't work then i can try to delete you and you apply again... let me know

LilyLoo · 13/05/2007 17:34

Sorry to but in but hate you feel like that. Dior if anything you re affirm my faith in that women can and do look at the whole picture when something is going wrong in a relationship. You didn't act on it as you easily could have where are the men saying that?

lou33 · 13/05/2007 17:42

can you link me to it again please?

Paddlechick666 · 13/05/2007 17:49

fagot

mylittlestar · 13/05/2007 18:02

fubsy, so and on your behalf

how he has the cheek to sit in your house e-mailing someone else when he can't even find it in himself to talk properly to you is beyond me.

as for your chances of finding someone else, you have every chance in the world to meet someone who will love you and give you everything you want and need. your personality, love, humour and compassion shine through on here so in RL you'll knock 'em dead! I'm sure of it.

(but don't you guys go organising any nights out without me!! )

Fubsy · 13/05/2007 21:49

Thank you. MLS!

Id love to go on a night out with all of you! Unfortunately I think Im in scotland when the FAGOT is on.

Still having problems with MSN - first it wouldnt accept my hotmail addy (I absolutely refuse to believe there is someone else with the same name as me - it must be me in an old incarnation!)

Then it wont accept my password, then it wont accept my secret answer to the secret question!

Eventually I will get a new computer (I dont want this one with DPs email love life and Poker tournies on) so I might start again with a new name
