Hi Ladies

I thought we could use it to attract attention of the other members if needed or whatever

hi, just discovered this.
for those who've not seen, I was wondering if a london meet was possible? I'll be in kent and have so much family visit all over the place another journey up to brumland I think is just unfortunately not gonna be possible, and I'm only in the uk thiese 2 week, and probably not again for a long time. sob.

Will try to pin dh down over the weekend, but have to be there around 6th august. will have definite date this weekend by hook or by crook

melminx · 11/05/2007 13:29

don't know where to put this at all now, but need to put somewhere so here goes - had really shit weekend with H. feel really miserable this morning. And no one to talk to.

mylittlestar · 14/05/2007 07:55

ernest I'm here - are you ok?

if it helps I had a really bad night last night too

let me know if you're ok xx

ernest · 14/05/2007 08:21

hi mls, sorry to hear you've also had bad night.

H been a grumpy arse all weekend.

I feel like I can't win. We need to spend more time together, do 'couple' things. I organise a baby sitter for Friday night. We goi out in Zurich and the whole night is for me overshadowed by ow. This feeling of powerlessness (I don't know what she looks like, I could walk right past her) it's the city where they worked to gether, had their morning meetings, hotel sex sessions etc, but I was surprised how hard I flt it.

H is terrible when it comes to tiredness, he is miserable, alsmot depressed etc etc, so on Saturday I let him lie in til 10 (partly concern for him, but also partly self preservation as I know what he's like). I also give him the 'afternoon off' so he can buy a new suit and a bike, so basically he has a free day, lying in, then shopping.

Yesterday was mothers day. Did I get a lie in??? Ds3 woke up at 6.50, no sign of life from h. Have no choice but to get up. H finally gets up about 8 so I go back to bed, not wanting to be sulky martyr, but am pissed off. Finally get to sleep and he comes up at 9.30, so I got what, and hour sleep, and considering I was up before 7, not much of a mothers day lie in. Was mega but my beatiful boys bouncing on my bed, kissing me and bringing me breakfast and cards and flowers made me happy and non-murdrous.

Anyway, he's a grumpy arse all day (including hitting ds3 - well he hit me, so I hit him back [angry )

Was supposed to be going on boat trip but I said I didn't want to be with him following him hitting ds3. He aplogised and I conceded to having a pic nic somewhere as it would be less stressful so grumpy arse should be able to manage to be civil at least.

AT one point yesterday, he asks me if dishwasher clean, i say yes, as I put it on before we went out.

Come downstairs this morning. Dishwasher unemptied, still cleam and full, with their dirty things all on side (I didn't eat last night so just found it this am) his dirty socks on kitchen floor, his empty coke bottle on settee.

I just told him the old way (me being skivvy, silent long-suffering, waiting on him hand and foot housewife) didn't work, and that we'd agreed we needed to change, so being a miserable bad tempered bastard all weekend, being lazy and messy and not helping round the house wasn't on.

I'm extra pissed off, because this is how he was for the last few months, while he was having the affair. Miserable every weekend. So it made me wonder again if it was on again, and it also made me piseed off that he's stopped making an effort. And finally I'm pissed off he's such a messy pig and mde no effort for mothers day, on a day more than any where he should have been treating me like a bloody queen.

It's my birthday this week,a nd if he doesn't pull out all the stops he's in TROUBLE:

Also problem is, I take him out, we suffer from his triedness all fucking weekend. So what, we never bloody go out again????????

Rant over.

mylittlestar · 14/05/2007 08:37

oh god ernest what a complete nightmare

so for you - he should be bloody pulling out all the stops to make you feel loved and special and his behaviour this weekend would be completely unacceptable from anyone, never mind a man who's trying to rebuild his marriage after having an affair!

I think you need to really spell it out over your birthday (if you haven't already!). Tell him (calmly) how this weekend made you feel, how disappointed you were yesterday and how you need so much more from him if this is ever to work...
Make it clear that your birthday is his chance to prove just what you mean to him and just how much effort he's prepared to put in to make your marriage work.

Really psses me off that we get a couple of weeks to 'get over' the hell they've put us through then everything is supposed to be back to normal and they start taking tha pss again!!!

And fwiw I'd also say if he ever hits again he'll be out the door. And if he has one more moody, grumpy weekend he might as well go to the ow - cause she'll be welcome to him!
At this point in time, he should be reminding you every second of every day how grateful he is that you have given him another chance. Don't let him forget that.

Thinking of you xx

ernest · 14/05/2007 08:43

ha, all I get is

'You don't need to worry about that any more

or

Not everything has to do with that (the affair.)

like you said, it's like I've had a couple of weeks and I'm supposed to have forgotten about it, and he can just go back to 'normal'

I know tonight he'll go on about he was grumpy because he was tired, too much drink, too many late nights balh blah, but it's like I'm his mother, like he'll only go to bed early if I tell him to etc etc.

And I'd pretty much spelled it out, my Mother's Day expectations, minimum, long lie in. Did I get it?

Really pissed off.
