Hi everyone, sorry not to have been around this past week, have had a stinking cold & couldn't bear looking at a computer screen, even to catch up with my lovely MNetters . Only good point about it was that DP actually behaved really well and looked after me, did all the household chores I'd been planning to complain about in my Relate homework - even put out the recycling without prompting (I had to remind him that the rubbish needed to go too, though ).We were asked last night how he'd behaved during previous illnesses since living together. My last bad cold was last November, and his behaviour, frankly, stank. He just left me to it without even offering me a cup of tea or checking to see if I was still alive (he was quite depressed at the time) and I felt rotten. The counsellor suggested to him that caring for me this time was hugely positive for both of us (especially as he hates illness) and that not only does it show he can think of how I might be feeling, but it might positively aid my recovery. (He was certainly a help when I had cancer years ago, even though we weren't together. I used to look forward to his phonecalls after each chemo, checking on progress - and he made me feel beautiful even with my bald head!)
OSJ, good to see you again - how are you?
Ginnny, - how COULD he! It was naughty of you to text semi/OW - - but I don't blame you, and now she also knows exactly what he's like & where she stands. if she's got any sense she'll dump him pronto.
HW - how are you? You sound very low.
Dior, look at you, missing him
Will catch up on all of you later, but really should do some work now!
