So totally devastated- please help me

[UtterlyBereft]

I have found this site after being so impressed by accounts of it in the press, and after looking around and seeing how supportive you all seem to be I am reaching out for a way through this pain.

I have never known hurt like this before- I was one of those people who thought love would last forever. I was wrong. Richard has left me, and I'm pretty sure he has moved in with the woman door. I don't know what I'm going to do...

Should I take his belongings round and leave them on the doorstep? I shouldn't have let him out of my sight- it's all my fault

Put some smoked salmon or fresh tuna out for Richard - he sounds like a fickle creature.....

He is certainly a fox, that's for sure...I thought he was my fox

Must be a cat abbier

Please keep going LeQueen and Hully, you making me LOL

You can never own a free spirit like 'your' Richard Utterly - you can just hope he might breeze back in one day soon....

It's not a catastrophe.

I can't stop sobbing

My pillow still smells of him.

Yuck

Febreze might help....

It's a catalogue of disasters from start to finish. But you have lost my sympathy with the pillow thing.

I'm so sorry, but I've just snorted tropical barley water up my nose through laughing. It burns.

Anyway, serious hat on. Surely all you need to tempt Richard back is some yummy white fish, freshly cooked and left on the doorstep

Good luck!

And the whole house is littered with memories...

at Shineon...

Sounds a bit fishy to me. I would entice him back by waving a kipper when you see your neighbour. Some women have no shame.

The neighbourhood hoor might turf Richard out when she realises his personal hygiene is somewhat lacking.....

my boy cant resist fresh prawns

Gere would be a ridiculous name for him, if that is what you are getting at, Shineon. Gere was the name of a very dear gerbil I once had. Very dear.
