Carrying on the supportive previous thread that ran out of space!
@herbsmokedchicken definitely that, although I wouldn't as I'm not a cheat....

TinselAndKnickers · 23/08/2019 21:25

You're a bloody superhero!

AdviceforMeplease · 23/08/2019 21:55

@Mumcomehere you are amazing! The Woman I wish I was!

@TinselAndKnickers I am so close to texting him. I just want to speak to him, it’s torture.

TinselAndKnickers · 23/08/2019 21:58

I've typed out a draft and as soon as he talks to me I'm bloody sending it Grin how awful

Mumcomehere · 23/08/2019 22:21

This may sound awful, but I hope hes wondering and hurting like I have been.

AdviceforMeplease · 23/08/2019 22:29

@mumcomehere he will be especially with you turning him away.

@TinselAndKnickers he won’t message me as thinks he’s blocked and deleted. But I unblocked him and basically
Watching him come on and offline. Hate myself for being pathetic and hate him for not wanting me

TinselAndKnickers · 23/08/2019 22:56

I do that aswell it's absolutely stupid but can't stop! Blush

Bluebird99 · 23/08/2019 22:56

Struggling so much tonight Sad over 24 hours and I’m lost

Mumcomehere · 23/08/2019 23:27

I'm feeling so angry, how dare he think that he can cheat and then waltz back into a relationship like nothing has happened, who the fuck does he think he is, I wouldn't go back to him now, even if he was the last man on earth

Mumcomehere · 23/08/2019 23:29

@Bluebird99 I totally sympathise what your going through right now You need to let the tears fall, and feel every emotion, but you will get through this.

Mumcomehere · 23/08/2019 23:44

The anger is helping, I've deleted and blocked him on everything I could find.

TinselAndKnickers · 24/08/2019 00:57

Well done! A big step.

I'm not as anxious tonight nor have I cried yet so today counts as a win.

Mumcomehere · 24/08/2019 02:28

Tinsel - that is a massive win to you, well done, onwards and upwards :)

herbsmokedchicken · 24/08/2019 07:50

mumcomehere that’s brilliant! He fucked it all up, he doesn’t get to just come back! So proud.

tinsel great on being less anxious and no crying! I’m on day 4 of no crying so we are getting there.

I’m tired, DM was snoring all night! A’s snoring never bothered me! And I know I dreamed about him as I feel a little unsettled. Being in a hotel room just makes me miss our holiday. But we are going to a wildlife reserve today!

Jonsnowsghost · 24/08/2019 07:58

Had an amazing time at Reading, tinged with a little sadness that he should have been there with me :( will post all my photos later though and hopefully make him jealous

AdviceforMeplease · 24/08/2019 08:09

Guys he got in touch... he said he went old to see if I was on there and has had a dreadful week and hasn’t been sleeping and wants to talk and meet later on today...

herbsmokedchicken · 24/08/2019 08:15

advice I tried to remind myself of why you broke up but it wouldn’t let me open the post, why did you break up again?

MissYeti · 24/08/2019 08:33

@Mumcomehere well done for telling him where to go! You hold all the cards now ❤

@AdviceforMeplease think very carefully before you agree to meet him. It will set you back, no doubt if he doesn't say what you expect him to. It will also set the precedent that all he has to do is ask and you'll go back to him

DS is off for visiting in an hour and a half and I'm shitting myself at the thought of being without him. This isn't the life I wanted for him Sad luckily pick up and drop off is at my mum's so I dont have to see the prick.

He went around yesterday to sort out some financial bits and said to my mum 'I hope she finds someone to love her like she wants' oh like you said you did? Wanker. He wants to be friends in the future...I'd rather scoop my eyes out with a rusty spoon.

Bluebird99 · 24/08/2019 09:00

I’m in the same situation with the father of my DD, can’t stand him and refuse to see him when he collects her and drops her off.

The guy I’ve just split with though, I’m devastated... really don’t know how to cope day to day

AdviceforMeplease · 24/08/2019 09:42

We split because of his commitment issues and his inability to move forward with me. It was so good when we were together but felt like a lid was on it and couldn’t move foreword. He wants to talk to me about why he’s that way, I don’t know if he wants to get back together.

herbsmokedchicken · 24/08/2019 10:31

Well I guess no harm in talking with him about it and seeing what he has to say, have you made a firm plan to see him?

AdviceforMeplease · 24/08/2019 10:39

Yeh I said I would meet him later. I think he’s lonely and it’s not because he wants to get back together but more to explain himself etc. He said last night he’s 80% sure it is right for us not to be together. Whatever that means. But he had had a drink. I don’t know if I’m just going to torture myself meeting him.

Blushingm · 24/08/2019 10:40

Can I join in?

Haven't seen him for 2 weeks. Told me last Friday we don't see each other enough so it's pointless

Had 3 texts since I'm reply to asking him if I should collect my stuff - he says 'I just don't know what to say atm luv'

I've known him 6 years, together 2 years with a break for 4 months when he decided I was what he needed and he loves me etc etc etc

TinselAndKnickers · 24/08/2019 13:14

Good luck Advice - if he did ask for you back what would you say?

AdviceforMeplease · 24/08/2019 14:42

@TinselAndKnickers he doesn’t want me back it turns out. Just missing the contact with me ...
