yes @GoodnightGrandma - what if being like this is better than being alone ? I have friends who I see a lot of as H is here for the DC, a nice roof over my head, access to a reasonable amount of money, no real financial worries, a live in nanny (H !), a cleaner, ability to go out whenever I want, nice holidays, invites for nights out with couple friends (these are H's friends thou), live in a lovely quiet street with good neighbours, the house was designed (by us) for our purpose which means everything has a place and there is no clutter/junk etc we literally started again with everything after a refurb and I was ruthless with clutter/crap/junk (3 skips worth !)
Versus ..
A bloke who pays me no attention, I don't fancy or want sex with or even to kiss, I don't want to buy him little thoughtful gifts 'just because' as they aren't appreciated or wanted or by him. we have opposite views and opinions. he's a lazy gamer and there are no asks on him ever, except to help do the kids dinners and tidy the mess away after. To ask him to do more would start WW3. He sits on the sofa every night/weekend and usually rolling his dick around in his hands fondling himself (not in front of the kids though), has other dirty habits, has no clue about me/what I like after almost 20 years. Is socially awkward. I hate him when he's drunk as he's even more of an idiot. Has no clothes style, doesn't wear after shave or even own any. Has hairy balls and dick that he has never groomed and said he never will. Leaves lumps of sh*t on the inside of the toilet pan even though each loo has bleach next to it. Inconsiderate. Lazy. Doesn't make me feel special/wanted or go out of his way to do so. Never brought me flowers even though he knows I like them. Lives like a teenager, I am literally tidying after after him. Has no interest in maintaining the house/doing work to maintain, unless I sort it it wont happen. We have had a new shower installed but he has yet to chose the shower glass enclosure, so we cant use the shower. I've given up and refuse to sort it. He should be out sorting the bins (had magotts in the summer) but nope. Cleaning the windows, but nope. Putting stuff in the loft instead of walking past it all for the lasy YEAR, but nope.
