Hi all, are we enjoying the rain? Anyone flooded? London is looking dreary and sunny by turns. My wandering moggy took one look outside and decided it was better to sleep on the landing.
Sorry to hear about all the rings coming off. It does feel very final. Mine were designed & made by my sister & were an unusual design, so it was particularly sad consigning them to a box. If dp & I ever decide to do the deed, I suppose I could ask her to melt them down & recycle...?
Dior yes, dp does drink more wine than is good for him - I suppose we all have a crutch & that's his. His family problems have gotten worse - his mother had to have her dog put down & that's really upset her - it was a very cute dog & only 6 years old.
At least we sorted out our problem on Thursday night - I went to a pub quiz with him, but the atmosphere on the journey was so thick you could cut it with a knife & I almost turned for home when we got there because I felt totally invisible, but instead managed to ask him what was wrong before his friends arrived. Turned out he thought I was angry with him, didn't know what he'd done wrong, so decided to leave me to it. So I said I'd had a really bad week at work, was feeling stressed and had wanted some TLC, but felt he wasn't responding. So ask for it, he said. I did, I said, but you didn't offer any. Oh, communication breakdown we agreed. He'd slept on the sofa on Wednesday as he thought I didn't want him around.
We seem ok now - and we came 2nd in the quiz, winning £3 each once we shared out the prize. I'd paid for our entry, so I wound up in profit by £1 - am excitedly planning how to spend it! We're going to see his usual summer company performing Twelfth Night tomorrow, down in Surrey, and meeting two of my girlfriends there, & that will be good, since we haven't been out much lately and I think we need some time together to remind ourselves that we're supposed to be in love . I have to say, though, I'm quite looking forward to him starting his summer job in 3 weeks - even though he'll be away till September & we won't see each other except at odd weekends - it might bring back some of the romance.
Dior, I hope your GP is able to help you with some suggestions for counselling or a change of ADs. I've never been on ADs and so know little of their effect - didn't realise they could take so long to kick in. I do think some counselling might help as like the others, I'm worried about how low you sound at the moment. I hope you have a great time with your friend. Nothing like a girls' get together to help get things off your chest.
