@Azuresky68 you truly look amazing in that photo. Healthy and gorgeous. I have said it before but as someone only a handful of years older than me, I can only hope that I am as healthy as you when I reach your age.

Re your relationship, as others have said ask him. You deserve to know the answer.

Azuresky68 · 19/04/2025 09:17

Oh my goodness...you are all amazing for taking the time to answer in such a kind and supportive way. I was actually going to post this on a Mumsnet relationship thread months ago but bottled out. I am bottling out of asking him right now even though I probably need to for my own sake. I have tried everything else to resolve it over the years. Yes it's eaten me up all the time I have been with him. I always notice it more on holiday as we are together 24/7. I spend a lot of time brooding and feeling really jealous if he mentions his past at all. I know it's not healthy. Last night while we were out for a meal I very nearly asked him. I was too scared of the reply. I think I need to ask him but then what happens if he says no? When we split up for a couple of weeks December 2020 I was in shock and told him then that I had loved him and at the time he said he couldn't give me what I wanted so it is been mentioned before but never again. While we were apart was the only time in my life when I couldn't eat and lost half a stone in 2 weeks. Thanks again for the well thought out responses. In my heart I know it's not right but asking him and not getting the answer I want is very scary. I spent more than 10 years on my own after divorce and it was hard going. We get along great and I have someone to share my life with. At the moment I feel like the only answer is to continue the way things are. Being realistic what are the chances of meeting someone that ticks all my boxes at my age 🤣Thanks for your answers and I will let you know if anything changes. What amazing ladies you are ❤️💐

Azuresky68 · 19/04/2025 09:21

@SilverSprings510 great news and well done on your success. Keep us posted on your life after MJ won't you!

NippyNinjaCrab · 19/04/2025 07:46

Morning ❤️

@Azuresky68 you are utterly fabulous in this pic, you look glowing and full of happiness..

Is it the case he has a barrier up to avoid getting as hurt again? That doesn't help sorry. Is he physically loving with gestures and verbally affectionate? Just missing the actual I love you declaration?

I'm needy, when I met DH2 I was a nightmare, I had a hard last 15 years with the exh, we were together 23 years and i was always looking for affirmation DH2 wanted me and was in love with me. I'm not saying this is you BTW but what resolved it to an extent was to be honest and i just told him why I felt like I did, I just needed him to say the words and know that he was being truthful and not saying things like "course I do" etc
You're not being needy by wanting to know you are loved and he is in love with you. I would ask him, have a chat, get it out in the open. Xxx

Yes he ticks all the boxes apart from those 3 little words! I am so glad you met someone that says and does the right thing. My fella knows I am needy and if he senses that I am going down the needy route I have noticed he pulls away... I think he sensed this last night and is a little bit distant today!

Azuresky68 · 19/04/2025 09:30

Weepixie · 19/04/2025 03:58

Sorry, I also wanted to say that you only have your fellas version of life with his ex wife and her version of their history could be very different to what you’ve been told. Maybe she’d tell you things that would take the shine off your fella a bit and I’m wondering if idolising him less during that stage of his life would help you with your feelings regarding her and what they do to your relationship today.

Im Hoping that makes sense.

Thanks Weepixie. I know quite a bit about the past from his sister and apparently she was very demanding, spent all his money but he still adored her and worked 20 years on nights to support the family.

Usernamechangeforthis12 · 19/04/2025 11:39

Hey @Azuresky68 i think you look incredible and much younger than 68!
Are these 3 words you long for a deal breaker? You say he ticks all the boxes otherwise. Is there anything that makes you think you’re less important to him, than he is to you?
Im saying this because I’m not sure I could ever say those 3 words to a partner again. I’ve said before that I can’t imagine being in a relationship again, but if I were, I’d want a companion for company, travel, dates but not necessarily an ‘other half’.
There are so many other ways of conveying those 3 words, and saying them without saying them.
Some people just can’t. And some people have been badly hurt and can longer open themselves up that much.
And, morbid as it may come across, when you’re young you’re invincible- being old and the thought of dying is so distant. When you’re older, it starts creeping in and you think of it more. Admitting that you love someone knowing that you’ll lose them one day may make it even harder. Is he just desperately trying to protect himself from being hurt again? Doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you, just not able to say it out loud.
I hope that makes sense.

Azuresky68 · 19/04/2025 12:10

@Usernamechangeforthis12. Awww thanks so much for everything you have said...it all makes sense! Just going for a long walk now after he made me brunch of poached eggs on toast and did the washing up. He also told me how nice I looked this morning. I just need to get over my insane jealousy that he was with his wife for years and my time with him is limited! Wish there was a magic jab for that too!! You are right about seeing things differently as you get older. I like my own space a few days a week and so does he. In the meantime I have a travel companion and someone to do nice things with back home plus unlimited hugs and kisses! Thanks again xx

Usernamechangeforthis12 · 19/04/2025 12:31

@Azuresky68 your relationship with him isn’t comparable to the one he had with his ex.
This is difficult for me to write but I hope helps explain. My mum and step dad were together for 40 years before she died. She desperately wanted to know if he’d get remarried but he could never answer her. He has found someone else and it’s hard to see and I know my mum would be devastated. But, the two relationships aren’t comparable. They are completely different as I see it. With my mum they were building a family, making a home, working to survive and that took real love and commitment.
His relationship now is about enjoyment, taking time to relax and enjoy, have fun. All the things he wanted to do with my mum but can’t. But he’s found someone that makes him happy, and that he can share fun times with. I don’t doubt he loves her, but I’m sure if I asked, it would be a different love to what he had with my mum.

As we go through life, we meet and rely on different people along our journey. I think you’re incredibly lucky to have found such a lovely relationship that works for you both so well. It sounds like what I would like but I’m not prepared to go looking or opening myself up to that anytime soon.

Usernamechangeforthis12 · 19/04/2025 12:37

And @Azuresky68 you've got a far better deal than his ex ever had! You’ve got a man who is self reliant, capable, not stressed out by work, kids and every day life responsibilities. You might not have so many years to share, but the time you do is all quality time with far less hassles to contend with, I’d bet!

Weepixie · 19/04/2025 12:40

when I typed my reply to Azure my first thoughts were this relationship has more going for it than there is against it and I completely agree with what you’ve said above. I will never remarry and not just because my husband who I’m separated would have to die for me to be able to remarry - but I just know that should the day ever come where I could remarry. There’s no way I would. Id be happy with companionship and travelling - end of. And of course you can have that with someone you fall in love with but I think you can also have it without love. Two nice people getting older together and enjoying life.

Blondeshavemorefun · 19/04/2025 13:01

What @Weepixie said - you need to know one way or the other - yes be nice if he said it first but neither of you have over 5yrs

either way you are still a FFF

well done @SilverSprings510 for a lb loss and good to see we can have a day of eating and not make a diff

over 6s is amazing !!

Happy Easter everyone!

I do hope you're all OK.

Easter holidays have been busy with the kids, lots of meals out so I've been bloated for what feels like a solid* *2 weeks now even with the more sensible choices off the menu.

However, I did do a weigh in on Wednesday (injection day) and I did hit 12 stones!! So that's a 50lb loss now!!

It was certainly nice to see as I have been bouncing around 12.1 to 12.4 over the past couple of months.

I've lost 8 inches off my waist so far and I've actually splurged a bit on some new clothes as everything I have is 18/20 and just look so big. Shame as I have some lovely tops but they look a bit silly now.

I've did get myself an Easter egg but I won't go mad with it, I've only just finished my mother's day chocolates 🤣

Arraminta · 20/04/2025 10:59

Happy Easter!

Am now into my 7th week of maintaining on 7.5lbs, having lost 3 stones. I've gone from a matronly looking size 14 to a slender size 8/10.

So, all good. But met a friend for lunch yesterday and she did nothing but needle away at me about using MJ. I was told I 'looked gaunt' which is just not true! I'm 5ft 6" and weigh 9st 11lbs, so hardly skin and bone, thank you!

She was particularly very doom & gloom about me deciding to use MJ long term for it's protection against dementia, strokes and heart disease. Spent the whole afternoon defending my choices, which was tiring.

Think I will just tell people I have now stopped MJ in future. Why can't people just be pleased that you're happy with your new normal weight?

weaselyeyes · 20/04/2025 15:30

That's a shame, @Arraminta - it's really disappointing when a friend can't be happy for you. It feels like a real get back in your box response. Well done on maintaining, though, that's fantastic to hear! And well done @Princessandthepie!

Happy egg moderation everyone! 😀Just a couple of small bits of vegan chocolate for me so far, though whether I can successfully resist my tendency to want to eat all chocolate just to get it out the way so I can't be tempted again remains to be seen...

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/04/2025 15:49

Well done @Princessandthepie

@Arraminta it’s jealously usually

OP posts:
Princessandthepie · 20/04/2025 16:17

@Arraminta your friend sounds so bitter!! I'm sorry you had to put up with that, you're obviously fat politer than me! I'd have left.

This is why I've not told anyone in real life besides DH, he is so supportive. I think one friend has guessed as she spoke to me about it, said another friend of hers started it and looks great but she, herself, read up about the side effects and decided its not for her. I just said I wish I could afford it and that put an end to the conversation as she knows I don't work.

Arraminta · 20/04/2025 17:14

Thank you, I feel better about it all today, but yesterday I felt quite crestfallen. This friend is a size 18 and is already starting to get mild mobility issues now she's turned 60. And yet she was muttering darkly about all the dangerous side effects of MJ!

FurForksSake · 20/04/2025 20:18

Happy Easter! I have one Easter egg and plan to break up the shell and portion it into 100cal bags. The first taste is always the best so trying to make it last.

we had roast lamb and I went heavy on the vegetables. I made cheesecake for pudding and had a small piece. Not sure it’ll stay in as rich food tends to exit!

Yes @Arramintasounds like jealousy. Some people have huge issues with using medication that isn’t ‘needed’ (their opinion obviously) but she probably desperately wants to lose weight so is just bitter you have done it. Ignore. And if you see her again and she mentions it just say you’d rather not talk about it.

hope everyone has had a lovely Easter 🐰

FurForksSake · 21/04/2025 10:17

Gosh my side effects are bad this week. 7th dose of 12.5 but I injected into my thigh for a change. Had diarrhoea over night, probably due to the lamb and cheesecake and feel off now. Not a bug, I know the difference now.

weather here isn’t good, hopefully better at the weekend. I need to start upping my steps and getting more exercise now my ankle is heeled.

weaselyeyes · 21/04/2025 11:36

I suspect that cheesecake is definitely taking its revenge @FurForksSake, though it does look magnificent! Hope the worst of it is over quickly

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/04/2025 16:49

Sorry been poorly @FurForksSake

been a crappy few days due to ex behaviour but I didn’t binge Or cram food the way I would have done last year when he pissed me off
