These messages will stop you moving forward
There's a whole life out there for you that you can't live with one foot in the past

I think that's very true....one foot on the past, holding me back...its needs to stop

Sorry to butt in but was sent a link to this thread for someone to talk to.

I've been out tonight around town with an old friend. Not been for years.

Ended up in a bar with the woman my ex left me for (they are no longer together and he now sends me messages every day). I don't think she saw me but....

On one hand thank the lord that I have finally reached the point that my counsellor said I would....."you will be in the same room one day and it won't bother you"..... I guess that's true, but also not or I wouldn't be posting lol!

But low and behold the penny has dropped. We lost a child together then he cleated. Had a child with her. Obviously that child is totally innocent and I wish no ill on them.

However tonight has made me see...why the hell am I engaging in these Messages??? We slept together for a few years but that stopped in 2020 yet the contact continues...

I have moved home, got a new job. My whole life has changed yet still this link to the past. Tonight has been like reliving my youth...going back to the same old haunts but no....I'm not that person anymore.

I'm quite spiritual and I honestly think tonight was showing me what I needed to see/hear...

Any thoughts? Please be kind

@naughty40me
It sounds like you've had a difficult, strange night.
Life can be so strange with what it throws up against us, especially in your case.
You mention that life is showing you what you need/want to hear on a spiritual basis.. what do you think that's about? I'm quite spiritual too, and I honestly think if that were me, it'd be life showing me what I'd left behind and reminding me to leave the past in the past. Your ex messaging at the same time as you meeting his ex, is really strange. But you also fully realise you're not going back there, you're a new person and you simply won't be engaging with him. I think it might be a spiritual sign just to remind you to get on with who you are now, and pay no heed to him. X

Morning

I’ll have a bagel with cream cheese and can Fernando make me something to help with my sore throat please?

sashh · 24/03/2024 05:38

@MinnieMountain of course, how about honey and lemon herbal tea?

@naughty40me I know you have not been here before so just a rundown, the food is calorie free and non allergenic.

THere is a petting zoo and outside is a water feature.

Somewhere nearby is a lock box where the marmite is kept because I won't have it in the café.

Inside there are kittenbees, they are kittens the size of bees with wings Outside are the Bumblecats, a larger very similar animal but not as sweet tempered.

Oh and Leo, is a Lemur stolen from the Yorkshire nature park and refuses to leave. He is obsessed with feeding the goats.

Thank you @sashh .

My cat’s in a cuddly mood, so I’ve brought her along.

sashh · 24/03/2024 06:02

Mine has just left my lap for the windowsill.

I love this cafe! Especially the little bee kittens!

ScottBakula · 24/03/2024 20:09

Welcome to the best cafe in the world @naughty40me .
It sounds like you had a tough time but are now looking back at it rather than still going through it.

@Tilllly ls right , it's time to cut ties with the past and leave it beside .

What kind of food do you like for breakfast? @sashh can rustle up breakfasts from all over the world.
Florence is our resident baker and Fernando is a great bar man .

MinnieMountain · 25/03/2024 05:40

Morning!

Can we have something custard based please @sashh ?

I’m going to sit under a blanket in the garden to watch the sun rise.

Tilllly · 25/03/2024 06:41

I'm getting a deck chair and a blanket, and going back to sleep

sashh · 25/03/2024 07:16

Morning.

Well you can tell by the time I'm not 100% well so custard, yep florence can make custard tarts, I'll make a spotted dick or two to be served with custard and Fernando is making a chocolate custard cocktails.

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 25/03/2024 07:39

Spotted dick with custard and a chocolate custard cocktail it is then. Thank you @sashh .

I hope you feel better soon.

ScottBakula · 25/03/2024 23:46

I hope you are feeling better now @sashh .

I am now craving a sharp rhubarb crumble and custard and I don't have either in 😕.
Can Leo swipe some rhubarb from that patch over there and give it to Florence.

Tilllly · 26/03/2024 03:42

Excellent shout @ScottBakula

How are you @sashh?

sashh · 26/03/2024 04:33

Morning.

I'm feeling better thank you. Well it is dark and cold so we need something warming.

An oatmeal porridge with chocolate and fruit with strong coffee on the side.

Florence is making orange sponge cake and Fernando is making hot ribena and vodka cocktail.

MinnieMountain · 26/03/2024 06:02

Morning

Could I have a piece of orange cake and a strong coffee please @sashh ?

I’m still croaky and I’ve got a family funeral today. I’ll have to down a few of Fernando’s ribenas without the vodka first.

sashh · 26/03/2024 06:39

No problem, cake is on its way.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 26/03/2024 21:54

Morning!
Easter hols have started here!
🐣 🍫 🥚 🪺
I was dreading it, but have booked a jaunt with my boys next Thursday for a week, leaving DH at home with doggies!
Plan is to have a quiet-ish first week!
Does anyone know anything about HR? I'm still bloody waiting for a start date for my job... it's been SIX WEEKS!! I'm getting bloody frustrated but even though I chase they say there's nothing they can do 🙄🙄🙄
@Tilllly how you doing?
@sashh I hope you're asleep, I have got the kettle on for everyone!
@ScottBakula how are things with your work situation? Xx

TopOfTheCliff · 27/03/2024 03:18

Morning @laughinglovingliving I am wide awake here. I had some cancer treatment earlier and it has left me wired and uncomfortable. I could do with some Horlicks and cake. I had been saving a nice bit of red velvet cake but DH found it and scoffed it yesterday. I’m mourning it.
The jaunt sounds fun. How many boys?
