Dearly Be-Chucked, we are gathered here today because, for whatever reason, our man has dumped us!

Now ladies ... ok it says just Comet, Ajax or Boaking Soda ... I don't have that ... a good alternative please - do you think I can use Cif? (stainless steel btw)

Bit of a setback on the DC front - I'm doing the hoovering this time

pinksmarties · 11/04/2010 16:07

I'm so upset, tears are streaming.

Ive just had a bit of a flaming on AIBU about women who have been dumped moaning about it.

What I said I truely meant but if I now retaliate I'll risk outing myself and I'll probably be flamed even more.

I can't stop crying now, it's made me want to stop MN.

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 11/04/2010 16:16

Oh dear, sounds horrible.

Even on MN (just like in RL) there will always be people who have strong views and upset people whether knowingly or not.

Sounds like it's probably best not to retaliate. There's a button to press that hides a thread at the top - how about hiding it and trying to forget about it? x

teaandcakeplease · 11/04/2010 16:29

Pinksmarties - Don't leave babe. I've just posted on there.

Half the people commenting, have never been through this, they speaking from ignorance. As often happens.

Sending you an enormous hug. My heart is beating fast and I want to shout at them all too

teaandcakeplease · 11/04/2010 18:32

Hoping you hid the thread Pink and haven't left mumsnet

poshsinglemum · 11/04/2010 18:35

I can't believe that some woman think that jilted women shouldn't moan.
I mean whatever happened to sisterhood? Some women just like to think they are too cool for anything.
I hope that it never happens to them. Then they will know whta it's like.

poshsinglemum · 11/04/2010 18:35

I think the people who flamed you are cows.

maybees · 11/04/2010 20:23

Away to read it now.... Smartie back soon.
Waves to Posh

maybees · 11/04/2010 20:29

B4 I go....Happy i filled the sink with scalding water and bleach left it 20 mins then used whatever cleaner available ,looks shiny to me !Need to paint my windows now sink looks sooo clean

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 11/04/2010 21:06

Hi all

Have written hopefully sensible post on other thread that should sort them out. Have also escalated issue to higher authority.

I am able to report that my 1 1/2 stainless steel sink is incredibly shiny now. It has changed my life

startingovernow · 11/04/2010 21:38

Hi Pink, I normally don't read too many other threads but I've just managed to find that thread. Let me start by saying that the OP could hardly consider herself a friend to anyone. I didn't read all of it but I flicked through most of the pages. There were a lot of people who slated the OP also & felt like you.

As you know I have moaned on here more than most. My dh didn't leave me for OW but he betrayed me none the less. As you know I also lost my dear brother & aunt who died very tragically within wks of each other & just a short time after I dumped exh out. The grief for my brother & aunt has been horrific BUT it is nothing compared to the grief of exh. Those people are talking out their arses. Obviously they have never suffered pain like us. Please do not leave them put you off. Come back & post here among people who have walked the walk with you. Hugs, Pink.

teaandcakeplease · 11/04/2010 21:41

I'm getting worried about Pink now

maybees · 11/04/2010 21:41

Ok here goes re AIBU....first point what a wonderfully intelligent and articulate post from Happy ,top of the class you def get a distinction for that one honey

Posh glad you could join us..

Smartie "dry your eyes babe dont let them give you puffy red ones ..ok "
Chin up tits out ....you attended our inaugural meet and you might be getting a tattoo FFS!You are on fire honey pie !!!!

Silly comments have upset me all my life.
But not anymore lifes too short.
Porcamiseria made a good point ie obviously this is your life ATM and youre still feelin it but IMO thats not your life... out of all of us you probably post the least about ur twunt and ur posts are upbeat
Bag of mini eggs FFS ! You make me laff and when you said we were in the same mental space I was honoured .... a secret between you and me smartie I struggle with dull and I guess you do to ,but so easy when you type out your emotions to be felled by a reply.My advice is dont be,think why you got hurt and come back strengthened .FGS dont leave us we have only got 4yrs to prepare to fight the next general election VOTE HAPPY FOR PM
Just imagine the Cabinet ......

ps got laptop on ironing board so not much ironing going on

startingovernow · 11/04/2010 21:41

teaandcakeplease · 11/04/2010 21:45

I've spent hours on mumsnet tonight. I need to stop getting sucked in. Nothing done here at all

Maybe it's my way of coping with it all right now. Not thinking about it at all and escaping into mumsnet?

Starting you're an inspiration to me!

startingovernow · 11/04/2010 21:46

Update on operation garden. Picture Arnold Schwarzenegger when he walks out of the smoke in the terminator with this huge machine gun type thing............

Well that was me for about two & half hours with machine for hoovering bloody leaves out of gravel & plants. This was after spending days sweeping up bag loads already. Arms are pulled out of sockets & can't straighten back but garden is starting to take shape..........

Will prob be hospitalised by time I get to back of house................

Maybees, pmsl at labtop on ironing board.......

Here, here, yes indeed claps on back to Tea & Happy for supporting a dumpling in distress.........

Remember Maybees Serenity Prayer....

God Grant Me the Serenity to Accept the Things I cannot Change
The Courage to change the things I can
And The Wisdom to know the difference.

Well I was once told the short version of the Serenity Prayer is Fuck'm..........

Tea, in the early days I did exactly like you. Comfort food, chain smoking & obsessive MN.............

Go easy on yourself. It's v early days. For now be gentle & kind to yourself. Whatever makes life easy for now. The house will wait........

Hi Posh, welcome back & lovely words about sisterhood.........

OP posts:
IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 11/04/2010 21:55

Hi Ladies - just a quick post then hoping to find Dezzy H on E4

Starting, you must rest ... I'm now thinking Ghostbusters ...

Maybees, you are very funny, bring a new meaning to "the Mumsnet election" I keep hearing about.

Tea ... it's good for you to be here on the thread I thinking, just keeping an eye on it . After all, bad people could come and try to steal it

Welcome Posh and thanks for supporting Pink

Pink - I hope you are lurking - come back! x

maybees · 11/04/2010 21:58

Also told H about me not FIXING him he has to FIX himself .He agreed that his behaviour had been selfish and immature and he had got his priorities all wrong.Think I am going to step back now and see what happens .

maybees · 11/04/2010 22:08

Love the short version Startin'

Thankyou for everyones support today just a bit confusing,just feel I cant go to SOL til end of the summer ,he might turn a corner

startingovernow · 11/04/2010 22:15

Maybees, you'll find your own way through this. I could have saved myself a hell of a lot of heartache but unfortunatley I wasn't able to call it a day & fu*k exh's sorry ass out the door a day sooner than I did.............

Giving up the hope was the hardest thing I had to do.

You do what's right for you & we're here to support you through it. Hugs.

OP posts:
startingovernow · 11/04/2010 22:20

Moviegirl, I had actually had followed your original thread because I think you were posting on here at the time too. I'd forgotten until I went off to find the thread earlier. I am so sorry to hear how badly things are going for you at the mo. Hope you're doing ok & managing to get support for yourself.

OP posts:
teaandcakeplease · 11/04/2010 22:47

"Giving up the hope was the hardest thing I had to do" Completely agree with Startin' You'll be ready to divorce when you're ready and no sooner or not maybe? Maybe it'll all work out in the end

I'm not groaning, its a journey you're on like all of us x

startingovernow · 11/04/2010 23:05

Just had lovely lavander bath to ease my aching back & shoulders .

While pondering in the bath about Pink & dumpling hood in general, I had an idea.......

This is for all us dumplings.........

I know it's not Fri but good for morale
