Been miserable for a long long time, split with dp a couple/few days ago, dont know, time merging into itself.
Feel a weight has been lifted, know its best all round, but am gutted inside.
He was the bloke for me, and there wont be another, but it seriusly wasnt working, and wouldnt so theres no but ifs.
Wish i could fast forward 6 months, but cant.
Sympathy please.

Hi charliecat - something similar happening here - but havent really cried - think i did too much of that over the last 20 years

Lots of people on here sadly in a similar situation, youll get lots of support from some lovely people

Its a GORGEOUS day today, suns out, feeling much better today. Xdp has learnt how to send nice text messages all of a sudden, but hes talking in the sense of we are over so thats good, and more positively.
Aware that may feel like a ton of bricks has sat on me tommorow, you cant trust your heart!
Fubsy Havent came across your thread and somehow havent found time to read all of yours yet isheisnthe....maybe thats why im feeling better, kept busy

It will get better, especially when he has actually gone. Do you know when he will be going ?

charliecat · 22/05/2007 17:03

Well he says he will be out of my hair by the 1st, thats when hes paid the rent to and gets paid again.
Hes got 3 choices to go back to mums in scotland - rent free and jobless.
To go to his brothers flat in Ireland £250 rent and jobless.
Or get a flat round here £500 per month out of 1500 wages and see the kids as much as he likes.
He says he cant think far ahead enought to make a decision.
I feel like pinning his against the wall and MAKING his stay nearby as you really shouldne walk away from your kids.
If he goes to Scotland/Ireland, even if he visited everymonth, thats 12 times a year.
Not enough, and reality kicks in and it turns into every 6 months, once a year...oh shit busy this year, maybe next
Oh sorry...rant

hi cc - it does get easier, I know totally where you are re fast forwarding - Its because you are unsettled and unsure of the future but that will pass - I bloody hope i does anyway!

charliecat · 23/05/2007 12:15
