Hey loves @namechangeforthis5 @Frith2013 and whoever else I can think of.

How we all doing?

I'm having a weird night; I've been drinking and guess what skill it reminded me I've developed: crying out of one eye. It means that people generally don't notice, in the car, or lying on the couch or in bed.

That's sad, isn't it.

@FloydPink to an outsider, she comes across as horrible.

Day 6 for me. Guess what? No reply!

There won't be any replies now. I've blocked him on everything.

I'll take his stuff back when he's going to the shared hobby we have. I won't be going there for a month because I don't want to see his silly face. Frankly.

Well she popped round for a couple of hours. Said she missed me and all that. Kissed. Just a nice chat and stuff.

went to hers tonight. Soon as I got there big kisses. Had a couple Of wines then walked to pub. Had food, walked back to hers. Went up, you know the rest. Really fancied staying but she wanted to be on her own and just felt a little used, even though I am a big boy and able to think for myself.

Think is every time I ask what she wants, it seems to point to me, then one minute she says she doesn’t need me or a man, then says she does.

why am I going along with it. No idea. She makes me smile. No idea what now.

Saw a photo on a mutual friends social and dear god.

Haven't seen him in ages but he's looking goooooood. God damn.

FourToTheMFingFloor · 21/07/2024 09:34

Sitting contemplating blocking.

I need him out of my head now. But what if it doesn't even work. Then I'm doomed to feeling like this forever.

FloydPink · 21/07/2024 11:17

So, a nice but confusing day yesterday. She offered to meet, it was my birthday and knew I may be going to an event.

bought her daughter which is fine as she is great and she is also a real champion of mine too. Was nice and we did sit there a lot head on lap, lots of tactile touches etc. really nice day but obviously not able to talk about anything.

not really sure how to do today. Will be in her village at a beer festival, could say I will be there (she knows I probably will be anyway) or just wait for her to message.

I think you really are overthinking all of this. Her daughter is a champion of mine? Why on earth would a woman insert a child into a situation like this? It's so unfair to both the child and you. I suspect she used her child as a barrier so she didn't have to talk about what you want to. Until you realise how she is treating you as an option then it will carry on. You should never be anyone's option!

He will go but it won't be overnight. You will find the thoughts will dissipate and they will turn to what the fuck was I thinking.

FourToTheMFingFloor · 21/07/2024 15:41

I'm sort of passed thinking that will ever happen, and I'm stuck with this for life. I can't for the life of me understand it.

Yes- this absolutely! I have gone 8 weeks tomorrow and although I’m having moments where I want to reach out and try to be friends I know it won’t work and ultimately I am in the what was I thinking stage. He used to call me pathetic and I was.

I agree with @PrincessMee. She sounds several shades of unhealthy.

Day 9. It feels like years!

lovelymango · 22/07/2024 13:23

How you feeling @Frith2013? I’m feeling tempted today and a bit annoyed he hasn’t got in touch but I’m hormonal and so it will pass 🤣

FourToTheMFingFloor · 22/07/2024 13:36

The fucking hormones are killer aren't they @lovelymango

At least I know what it is now and can just wait it out.

I seem to have fallen into listening to the worlds saddest music today which is no help at all.

We were on our own for a bit on a walk but I didnt bring anything up, just wanted to enjoy the day.

Not heard from her since yesterday tea-time so can only assume she has gone back into her 'cold' feeling - so far resisting the urge to text.

Yeah they really are. Like I feel like I need to message him. Not even for a sex thing. I just miss him 😟
Do what you need to do. Hopefully it will pass for you too x

FourToTheMFingFloor · 22/07/2024 17:08

I'm doing precisely nothing. No contact. It is done.

lovelymango · 22/07/2024 17:43

Good please pass that determination over here 😊

FourToTheMFingFloor · 22/07/2024 18:15

I'm just not open to this shit any more. I'm not being ignored. I'm far far far better a person than him.

Frith2013 · 22/07/2024 18:20

Well done, @FourToTheMFingFloor

That was me 😄

FourToTheMFingFloor · 22/07/2024 19:56

I know lovely 😁 We're a bit reckless with the name changing haha

That thing I wrote? I sent it anonymously to a writers society. We'll see what happens, if it gets published.
