@Thisisworsethananticpated yeah it'll go back to how it was and I'll get over him again - he'll probably always be my "one that got away" - well actually I have 2 and both can't be relationships for their own reasons - but I'll be ok.

Date arranged with new iron for Monday evening 😊

Slothy…Mr City would be trying to fit every possible date with you while in London if he was smitten. I’ve been there ( xh fell in love madly and he was travelling the world with his job, he made every effort to date me and woo me then). He’s never going to be your guy. Forget him and go no contact
Worsy…I totally understand you taking time off apps. I think I would try to meet people outside dating apps too. Meetups, hobbies, etc. and you can always decide how much time you want on dating apps. Or have profile active or inactive
The thing is …everyone over 45 has now a life/career/love baggage…we need to see how that goes

Slothmomma · 09/03/2023 14:10

@Mila14 oh I know he's not smitten but he's also not dating because he doesn't want to comit around all his world travelling which I understand. But yes, he isn't for me which is I why I persist

Mila14 · 09/03/2023 16:39

Oh dear…old flame I was very in love with wants to see me…we have maintained a close friendship over the years…he’s flying to have dinner with me. He was a major hot shot banker years ago. Mr Ex used to be a bit jealous of him back in the day. I think I will keep the info to myself until dinner day itself. MrEx is in a massive low right now with added agro to his life. I’m still uncertain about my future with him. It’s really drama after drama. I haven’t seen my dear old friend for like 4 years although we always kept in contact.
Life is absolutely unpredictable and that’s just wonderful in many ways. I can’t wait to see him and he can’t wait to see me.

LuckyLinda3 · 09/03/2023 17:46

@Mila14 are these feelings telling you something about your current situation?

blueribbon6 · 09/03/2023 18:02

@Mila14 Im sorry but I think that’s wholly unfair to your current boyfriend however miserable he is. You don’t go out for dinners with other men solo however ‘hot shot’ they are and not be entirely transparent with a man you are seeing. However greased up it’s made to be with all the ‘open mindedness’. What if you were down and he decided to get out and about with some ‘hot’ lawyer he used to date. Get a grip.

Mila14 · 09/03/2023 18:19

@blueribbon6 …Mr Ex has always known of my connection to this other Mr Ex. Every time I’ve met him for lunch or dinner, Mr Ex has known. He will know I’m meeting him. In advance. I think the criticism is unnecessary in this case. Nothing untoward will happen but if it ever does…this will not be a safe place to discuss it seeing your attitude.

blueribbon6 · 09/03/2023 18:22

@Mila14 No actually - you don’t want to hear how careless it actually is. Involve him in your arrangements and then your behaviour and choices are honest…actually maybe someone should tell you - just no. Attitude no.

blueribbon6 · 09/03/2023 18:26

‘safe’ .. are you kidding me. It’s as if how people might potentially lfeel these days is completely bypassed in favour of all this hyped up ‘super hot this’ and ‘super hot that.’ You are writing openly on the internet about how your partner is very distressed and then out flirting it up with another and then say here is not ‘safe’ What nonsense. You sound quite self centered.

Mila14 · 09/03/2023 18:39

I have never said I was flirting. I’ve known this other person longer than I know Mr Ex. Mr Ex knows this person too and this person knows Mr Ex. I have never implied anything would happen. Seriously…get a grip

You don’t know me. Stop it

If he’s flying to have dinner with you he’s thinking more that friendship I’d imagine. You like hot shot bankers what wrong with ordinary peeps!?! 😬

Mila14 · 09/03/2023 19:30

I work in finance. I tend to know bankers since I am one. Let it go and let me be.

ilovebrie8 · 09/03/2023 19:34

I haven’t said anything wrong 😑 just that if he is flying in he might have more in his mind than friendship ...

BelladiMamma · 09/03/2023 19:37

@ilovebrie8 and @blueribbon6 are you the same person? Seems a bit off coming on here to lay into a regular poster whilst you're a new one.

I'll be honest @Mila14 I do find your lifestyle and your super hot blokes sometimes a little wearying, as the rest of us plod along with the cost of living crisis and whether or not to pay for a Bumble subscription or not. However, you've as much right as anyone else to post on here, even if what you describe as your private life sounds too good to be true sometimes.

@ilovebrie8 @blueribbon6 if you want to have a pop at someone, at least make it a rational and decent argument. As far as I'm aware @Mila14 isn't actually in a relationship at all at the moment. But then. I don't know them personally, none of us know each other. It's the internet, I could be a rainbow 🌈 unicorn 🦄 with sprinkle farts. (Shhhh don't tell anyone).

ilovebrie8 · 09/03/2023 19:43

Nope we are not the same person I post regularly on MN and have posted before on this topic before most of the time I just read. I didn’t say anything other than a bloke flying in to meet someone likely has more on their mind than friendship ! Thats hardly having a pop !!! it’s stating the obvious 😬I’d have thought ...this is hilarious for all we know it could even all be made up! Lol 😂 I think you need to to read what I actually wrote . My only other comment was she liked high fliers as she mentions that frequently hey ho

Mila14 · 09/03/2023 20:00

I don’t really know what you are talking about…I went into OLD being madly in love with Mr EX after we had a hiatus. I kept seeing him…and really my OLD was not that exciting. I’m with Mr EX but not fully there yet and pondering if this is working for me or him. I respect everyone here wherever they are and whatever they do or pick as the right person to date. I find it easier to date people in similar lifestyle and beliefs as those I have. Like NHS people end up dating NHS people a lot of the time.

Thisisworsethananticpated · 09/03/2023 20:10

Mila14

gosh it’s bit edgy here tonight

fwiw I don’t think the situation with Mr Ex is easy AT ALL

but I think the very fact you are mentioning meeting an Ex shows you are getting tired of the situation ?

just be careful and manage it with Mr ExEx (!) in case he’s expecting a leg over and unecessarily upsetting Ex #1

ilovebrie8, you weren’t having a pop and I know your a regular flier (poster 😂)

Bella to be fair you have also made some rather high flying comments in your time ! But yes January’s hit us all with those £20000 fuel bills

OP posts:
LostidentityM · 09/03/2023 20:10

@Mila14 I think people are jealous that you only talk about dating only rich men.

ilovebrie8 · 09/03/2023 20:18

Thanks @Thisisworsethananticpated 🙂!
applogies @Mila14 I wasn’t having a pop just saying that he may have more in his mind than a catch up

VanillaSox · 09/03/2023 20:27

I’m really not liking the unnecessary comments to @Mila14.
We all have different lifestyles but we have in common that we are not in straightforward situations and come on here for constructive support and @Mila14 is indefatigably supportive and constructive to others.
Our economic status is irrelevant.

Dhama · 09/03/2023 21:03

Wow what the everloving feck is going on in here?

hope you’re ok @Mila14? You know your situation better than anyone and whether you’re with MrEx fully or not; maybe thinking about MrExEx is making you question those feelings further - that’s ok too x

Exactly my point @Dhama. Dating is difficult but @Mila14 is well placed to cope with it x
