Sorry can i just butt in a sec and ask Nik, is dp now married ?????

LIZS · 20/03/2005 14:08

I don't think you are making people angry as much as frustrated. Like several of the situations which have appeared on MN over the past few weeks we can only offer a sounding board and suggest solutions - it is up to you to decide and make things happen. The frustration comes partly from the limitations of the medium and partly from what you describe.

Perhaps focus on what you want for yourself and dd in the longer term - say, in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years... Does your dp fit in with this, is he going to support you emotionally, financially and practically along the way. What if his wife does appear ? Will you come to resent his shortcomings and lack of interest in a shared family life.

Sorry if this is harsh but, as Lou says, you really do deserve more.

mummytosteven · 20/03/2005 14:33

nik - you are very pretty (i've seen your photo on here). so what you're a bit overweight - loads of people are. doesn't stop most men finding women attractive - being outgoing and friendly, and dressing nicely go a veery long way. it just sounds like the relationship is all give by you, and take by him at. you and dd deserve more. it's tough in life to have any self-esteem when your parents/your partner puts you down - but that doesn't mean it's true, just that it's a fault in them.

Keane · 20/03/2005 14:40

totally agree with LIZS

and yes slightly overweight or totally overweight, doesnt mean you are ugly!!!!! ffs nickola you are a good looking woman

Keane · 20/03/2005 14:41

and the end of the day, even if your were ugly people still find others attractive anyway, doesnt matter what you look like
people arent that shallow nickola

noddyholder · 20/03/2005 14:43

the life you are looking for with friends outings FUN! is available to you but I don't think it will happen while you are with him.If he had any respect for you he would never have married someone else You have a choice to make here that seems obvious to me He will probably never change but you can

nikcola · 20/03/2005 14:53

he has gone out now in a mood cause i told him to fu** off , proberlly wont see him till tomoorw night cause hes sulking

noddyholder · 20/03/2005 14:55

If he has a phone send him a text and say calmly that you need some time to yourself to thimk things over Don't fight with him maybe just take some time out and see what a calm normal life feels like.You can do that surely for dd's sake

nutcracker · 20/03/2005 14:55

nutcracker · 20/03/2005 14:58

Ahh right, and does his wife live here or not ???

I mean you deserve such alot more than being with sonmeone who was prepared to marry someone else.

nikcola · 20/03/2005 14:58

no shes in pakistan,

OP posts:
nutcracker · 20/03/2005 15:02

Right ok.

You do deserve soooooo much better you know. You are a lovely person. I mean would you stand for some bloke treating your dd the way dp treats you when she is older ????

I know it is hard to make that desicion but you don't really want to spend the rest of your life being spoken to and treated like that do you ???

nikcola · 20/03/2005 15:03

nutty you must no how i feel u dont love your dp do you ? sorry if im wrong,

are you scared of being alone too xxx

OP posts:
nutcracker · 20/03/2005 15:09

Yes you are right, i don't love him. Do you love your dp ???

I am scared of being alone yes, but i also think that once i took the plunge then i would feel alot better and probably quite like it.

The main reason i haven't done anything yet is because of money probs.

nikcola · 20/03/2005 15:11

yes i do love him,

OP posts:
nutcracker · 20/03/2005 15:14

See that makes it harder then.

What do you love about him ???

nikcola · 20/03/2005 15:15

god thats a hard qiestion tbh i dont no what i love about him

OP posts:
turquoise · 20/03/2005 15:17

Nikcola sorry to butt in but are you going to take that trip to Spain? It really sounds like you should be grabbing chances like that to build up a social life apart from dp.

nutcracker · 20/03/2005 15:18

I mean from what you have told us then i'd find it hard to see what there is to love about him, but obviuosly we are not you and are not standing in you shoes so that is easy for us to say.

Ok try and look ahead a few years.....can you see yorself being happy and contented with him or miserable and much the same as you are now ??

nikcola · 20/03/2005 15:18

no i cant go i cant afford it but i am going away for a weekend soon im go to brighton to see my step sister

OP posts:
nutcracker · 20/03/2005 15:20

Won't dp give you some money towards it ?? Surely he owes you for the disneyland trip that never happened.

nikcola · 20/03/2005 15:22

he is saving up for his deposit for a house so he can move away from his family,

tbh nut i dont think about what is going to happen in the years to come, everything will proberlly still be the same but if she did come here i would leave him i have told him that x
