More Legs chapter three - the one where there’s a little light at the end of the tunnel

New thread. Can’t believe I’ve got to three.

It’s a good chance I think that they’ll stick together, happy or not. They’ve given away absolutely everything (although she still sees her children) so they do need each other don’t they.

I have my fingers crossed for the marriage certificate tomorrow. I really believe he thinks I wouldn’t go ahead with it. I also think it might prompt a flurry of messages asking what he’s supposed to do. Bloody pay a solicitor that’s what you can do.

I think of the two of us I will come out the other side better than him. I have the support of his family, all the DC, and you wonderful women. He has her and that’s it. I don’t know about her family and I’m sure as can be that the pair of them have created yet another lie as the backstory to how they met. Can’t exactly tell the truth can they. ANC in a few short years he’ll be 70. Yuk.

It still doesn’t feel like I’ll be better off at the end but I’m hoping that feeling will come.

If anyone knows how to link this thread to the old one can you let me know please?

Thank you.

Just a quickie tonight on account it’s late, but I’m spending tomorrow night at Mr NM’s house…

I can’t believe I’m doing this. It’s so alien to all I’ve ever known. But there’s not a modicum of shame, guilt, worry, anything. Just looking forward to a night with a film, a drink, a cuddle and if anything happens it happens. If not, it doesn’t.

I applied for Decree Nisi too.

I should feel guilt-ridden and disgusted and a whore because I’m still married. But I really really don’t!!

Please be right behind me tomorrow my most marvellous army. I will update on Thursday…

Much love to you fabulous anonymous women,

I might get laid!!!!!!

Great not to feel any of those negative emotions. You are not doing anything wrong - in fact, quite the reverse. You are taking positive steps to move forward in your life. You sound much more confident than in your previous posts - I really hope you have a lovely evening.

I applied for Decree Nisi too.

Excellent!! Onwards and upwards! 🌹

Have an amazing night.

Go Legs, go !!!!!

The Legs Cheerleaders are waving their Pompoms!!! May all the stars align for you!!!

“I should feel guilt-ridden and disgusted and a whore because I’m still married. But I really really don’t!!”

No, you bloody well shouldn’t! When your ‘D’H is living with someone else and being a twat about his kids, and you have a divorce in progress, it is more than ok to move on. No reasonable person would ever judge you like that, anyone who did would have to be a complete arse!

Have a wonderful night with Mr NM!

Pashazade · 15/09/2021 08:56

Wow, you have come so far from the you who started these threads to now! Bloody brilliant Legs, do what's right for you, and this does sound right for you. 🎉🎉🎉 (we really need a cheerleader emoji!)

Melstarrynight · 15/09/2021 10:40

Just delurking to give you a 'whoop whoop'. I'm always cheering you on in the background legs as I'm sure many others are. 🎉🎉🎉

CatChant · 15/09/2021 11:51

Hooray! It is so, so lovely to hear you sounding so perky.

And you have absolutely nothing at all to feel guilty about. You're a free agent, remember. You can do what you want with whatever consenting adult you please.

Have a lovely time and well done on issuing the decree nisi.

WhitePhantom · 16/09/2021 08:45

Oh wow you should see the big grin on my face after your latest update!!! Grin

You're not the same person who started this journey at all!

You ROCK girl!

DuchessAnnogovia · 16/09/2021 22:46

Just sat and read all your threads @MoreLegsThanMe, and felt I just had to post. What wonderful advice you've received from your Army. You have come such a long way from the broken woman who first posted. You are doing absolutely amazingly. Do feel so proud of yourself my lovely.

I hope all goes well with your date!

ThanksThanks

Jasminesmellingcandles · 17/09/2021 00:09

Right here backing you all the way 👏🏼

Justilou1 · 17/09/2021 01:54

I was just vacuuming (Springtime has begun and giant fluffy dog is shedding). Needed some motivational music as feeling a bit shit. “Moving on Up” by M People came on, and I thought of @MoreLegsThanMe

JackieQueen · 17/09/2021 08:18

Woohoo! Have a great time legs! You deserve it!Grin

MoreLegsThanMe · 19/09/2021 04:26

Thank you x

Given the time, a very quick update.

It’ll be gorgeous when they are all sorted. My aches and pains woke me now so offi downstairs fir done nurofen.
