well after everything you will have seen so far, and my happiness at dh and i giving our marriage another go, sadly it doesn't look like that is possible anymore.

i've been feeling down the last couple of days and couldn't put my finger on it. thought it was probably a bit of paranoia. the pregnancy scare etc. but looking back dh had also become distant and withdrawn and i think i was picking up on that.

i checked his phone this morning. there was a message in his saved items to the ow. basically said of course i'll get up early to come and take you to work. i'll leave a bit early so we can have a little kiss before we set off...

confronted him. he swore he hadn't been back in touch. then has admitted that after his paranoia that i may have met someone on my work night out last week, he got back in touch with her.
don't really know much more than that and there's no point in asking as i'm not sure i could believe what he tells me anyway.

i had four main reasons for giving things another try. my love for him. the fact that anyone can make a mistake once. the fact that he swore he hated living a double life and would never want to live that way again. and finally, the fact that he said after seeing what he'd put me through, he'd never put me through that again.

just 4 weeks later he has.

to be honest i really don't want to turn this thread into a session to slag dh off. i don't understand his reasons and never will. but i do love him.

i think perhaps it's time to let my head rule my heart and make myself wake up to the fact that he doesn't love me in the same way i love him.

one day he'll realise what he's lost and what he's put me through. and i truly believe that nothing i say or do from this point on will have any impact. it's up to him now.

i've come into work to try and take my mind off it all and calm down. so i'm ok. i'm glad i have MN to get all of this out as this time i do not want one single person in RL to know. i don't want people getting at dh. i don't want people telling me 'i told you so'. i don't really want sympathy.
i'm sick of my life being one big drama after the next. i want to focus on me and ds and i want a happy quiet life filled with love and laughter. if the only way to get that is being alone with ds, then so be it. i'm truly blessed to have him.

so perhaps this thread should be about how i can now move forward without the love of my life and my soul mate....

@ Liz! Other people have said that to me...I used to get men telling me in nightclubs. But it is usually only when I am thin! Thanks though!

We are all stunningly beautiful - shame all the other MNers can't see us

I'm here. Feeling a bit poo because today is my first day on Prozac, after cutting down on Cymbalta. Also think I have a bit of a virus as I needed a 2 hour sleep on Sunday afternoon, which is nothing like me!

Nauseous, headache - bleugh.

LilyLoo · 08/05/2007 20:20

Don't think we have a date yet Ernest so maybe we could look at August ? It would be lovely to include everyone.
Evening OSJ looks like it just us around today. Was about to pop on MSN to see if anyone updated there.

LilyLoo · 08/05/2007 20:21

Cross post Dior aka Liz Sorry to hear you not too good.

Hi everyone Thanks so much for all your good vibes for my secondment - it went very well. It was in a different firm to the one I'm usually go to, with slightly longer hours. I'm exhausted from all the effort of having to put 100% in - with no MNing whatsoever - there's not even a pc on my desk!! What's the world coming to

MLS - you really are living up to your name, what a star you are! I'm so proud of you for sticking with this - it must be so difficult - but it sounds like you're reaping the rewards of your hard work. Don't let DH off, will you?

IOHW - I didn't get your email today Will keep checking though...

Paddlechick - I haven't looked at your MSN thing because I'm not sure I'll be able to make the meet-up tbh. Am I still allowed to go and have a nosy at all the glamorous pics??

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 08/05/2007 20:25

4 = feisty and obnoxious! I think it wears off when they hit 12, then puberty hits

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 08/05/2007 20:26

Why not CnC? Are you really a hairy handed trucker and afraid of being caught out?

LilyLoo · 08/05/2007 20:26

Just had a weird random thought imagine if one of us posted a pic and one of us knew them. How eird would that be as it has crossed my mind that whilst posting on mn i could be actually confessing all to someone i know. Don't recognise anyone yet though !

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 08/05/2007 20:27

I recognise you Lily

LilyLoo · 08/05/2007 20:29

cnc am sure you will be able to get on msn some good pics. No date arranged yet so we could work around it so that we all could be there i'm sure. Unless you are really a man
Yes my lo's all fast asleep thank goodness now am typing on here and ignoring dp

LilyLoo · 08/05/2007 20:30

oooh Dior think i must have had a few drinks then when we met

Paddlechick666 · 08/05/2007 20:30

evening all

sorry haven't been around. combination of a busy day, a lot of stresses and generally feeling pretty down.

re: msn group, it's our group so happy for it take any direction. you can start different threads so if people are more comfortable talking in private there then that's cool. i'm only manager coz i set it up - i ain't the boss!

on that note, thank you for the gratitude you've shown for my doing that.

cnc, even if you can't make a meet up you're a key member of this exclusive gang so please sign up asap!

re: dates, i was thinking of august anyways as it's enough time away to hopefully settle a date that works for all/most. and of course there's time to save up LOL!

i will post my story, when i am feeling a bit stronger. maybe later after some more wine LOL.

everyone's looking fab, it really is great to see faces and kids too.

they're what it's all about really eh?

Cashncarry · 08/05/2007 20:32

You've got me Dior I do have hairy hands but I'm not a trucker

Lilyloo - I have that thought all the time! Since coming on MN, I have started confessing to a couple of RL friends that all is not well - I keep getting scared that they'll see me on here and put two and two together! Then I realise that's quite self-centred and they're probably not even thinking about that if and when they ever MN

Cashncarry · 08/05/2007 20:33

Thanks Paddlechick Hope you're ok and that glass of wine perks you up - can I join you?
