A new start.

annetteca08@gmail.com — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I had treated myself to an upgraded seat. I am short so the extra leg room was luxurious.

I was held up by immigration.... they asked me lots of questions, and if it wasn't for the fact that I had money to support myself, and a friend to stay with, they would not have let me in.

I had a really bad cold, I pride myself on having a good immune system, but I'd managed to catch my sister's cold before I left.

As soon as I [...]

All done and dusted............

Well folks - it's been a long time since I came on the site - so thought I'd let you know how things are. Ex got engaged to significant other over the summer and divorce was finalised in September awaiting Court approval of the Consent Order. That was eventually sorted following a Court hiccup - meaning it took nearer 6 weeks than the 2 we were led to believe. All done and dusted so to speak - and as a bit of a result I managed to keep my pension entirely and got a share of the equity [...]

It's going great - an update

memorcarpediem@yahoo.co.uk — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I have had quite a few emails asking how the reconciliation is going. Wasn't sure about blogging as feel a bit out of place on a divorce website saying how a reconciliation is going.

Well it has been hard. Reconciliation is no easy path. But after a few initial rough patches we are doing great. We are dating and texting like teenagers, it is fantastic. We won't live together for a while as it's like starting a new relationship. He stays over at the weekend and one [...]

moving on (i think)

I lost my mum this year, and i cant honestly say i would be going out with anyone for any reason other than revenge. but if i dont start go [...]

This should I hope be my last blog.

goodayatheoffice@yahoo.co.uk — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I have wanted to update my Blog for a long while now and never found the words or the time to do so until now. But so much has changed in my life since that dreadful Christmas last year.

Those of you who remember my story from the beginning of this year will know just how bad Things were for me and what an utter mess I was and in at that time.For those who don't know its enough to say I was married for twenty years before disco [...]

Is it just me? Am I old fashioned?

heath.davis@hotmail.co.uk — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I've just been on to the Plenty Of Fish dating website and there was this banner ad for IllicitEncounters.com.

Drifting out of the cerise background came these seductive & powerful words

attached? under-appreciated? uninspired?

Come and feel the butterflies again...

Or...Get a f**king grip, stop dreaming and sort your marriage out, whether that's working at it, or ending it!

Expertly targeted, with those words pushing buttons, flicking switches a [...]

Reasonably Unreasonable

jw@imaginary.co.uk — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Much has happened since my last post here. Then again much stays the same.

The divorce, like a large supertanker, moves obstinately forwards. The legal corresponding seems to be offering some contol, but not sure whether we can head off the collision with the huge iceberg that is court proceedings, which fxw and her inarticulate mule of a solicitor seem so insanely keen on. We wrote them a couple of long letters, explaining that it was a real shame that we didn't follow family law [...]

Trying to let go and move on

dawnuk57@yahoo.com — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

We lived together 3 years, bought a nice house and got married. We didnt have children as i couldn't stay pregnant for long, always miscarried around 8 weeks! Hubby had 4 kids from 1st marriage and we all got on pretty well, they stayed with us some weekends & on holidays, they lived away so contact wasnt constant.

I thought we happy together on the whole, despite his problems with alcohol & pill addiction (codeine dependency).

I encouraged him to leave his employmennt [...]

Tomorrow

caroline.steed@ntlworld.com — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Well what can I say - from my grief comes a bud of hope.

I have decided that I loved being married - bloody loved it! loved the day to dayness of it, the support (thought I had that) of knowing that i was not alone, the kids, the house, the washing, all of it I really did!

Now I really that is me - I loved all that - it had nothing to do with him - I was in this marriage on my own for most of the time! Don't get me wrong there were truly wonderful times (can't think [...]

Some great news:-D

memorcarpediem@yahoo.co.uk — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Wow, I had said before my life changes direction every few hours at the moment. Well after his declaration of his way or the highway which I said in your dreams matey to and then told him if he was to stand any chance of working things out then he and the bartart couldn't even be friends, I also said I needed space and didn't want to see him - so last night (without telling me) he went to see her and told her he was going to work it out with me and would not see her anymore even in a [...]

A date, then no date.

memorcarpediem@yahoo.co.uk — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

God he is a fruit loop. BUT next friday night we are having a date. He has agreed to try from beginning. Not holding breath but I said i needed space and was backing off so he came running forward. We'll see. Not giving up yet on 19yrs. It is a proper first date type date, scary...........

Update - probabaly no date will happen as I decided enough was enough with his gob and said again she is to be no part of his life friend only or not. I told him I was not competing for him [...]

Two Facedbook!

s73serendipitous@aol.co.uk — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Joined facebook a couple of weeks ago to look up old friends and also as another way to communicate my life to my current and new friends.

I ended up finding a couple of "old flames" I guess you could call them. One has in the last 2 weeks, picked me up, swept me off my feet and now dropped me like a brick. It turns out he is still in an unhappy marriage and saw me as an escape from that.

I laid my life bare to him so that he wasn't walking into my life without [...]

While out shopping!

s73serendipitous@aol.co.uk — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Well, woke up this morning and thought, do something with yourself girl, take pride in your appearance, slap a bit of lippy on and go get them, who ever "them" is.

Had so many comments in the playground this morning. People saying how well I looked, had I lost weight, was I going somewhere special today?

Anyway, parked the car in Tesco Carpark and do the shopping. Met my friend in the supermarket and passed the time of day. Anyway, getting the girls in the car to g [...]

More stupid mess

memorcarpediem@yahoo.co.uk — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Well still in a mess. Still was hoping. Next installment. He turned up just gone 11am on his birthday, I had no idea what was happening. He said what did I want to do. He was feeling ill so didn't want to do much but wanted to spend day with me. Not kids but me. Kids didn't really want to see him so no issue there. We took dog out for long walk then came back and I made up picnic as a buffet at home. Then chilled in lovely sun in the garden and talked and laughed. He went off about 5 [...]

Getting there - dare I hope?

memorcarpediem@yahoo.co.uk — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Well after my self administered kick up the butt it appears to have worked a bit. Writing down everything I have got compared to the downside of losing an idiot who has caused me more hurt than anything ever was great. Still hurting but it made me see life goes on. Shame I wasted so many weeks sobbing and unable to do anything, but I am made of meaty stuff and made the decision yesterday that I have a life to get on with. I know there will be tough days ahead and I accept that but I have a gr [...]

What a difference

emdbld@live.co.uk — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Have had a good week. I feel relaxed, normal and happy. STBX has been out of the country and is way too tight to text anything from abroad, so I have had more breathing space and peace than I have had for the last eight months or more. I realise that I still have a huge way to go until this feeling is more or less the norm, but it has really given me some strength and time to gather myself for the forthcoming year or more.

At the beginning of all this (Oct 06) I was so dismayed when pe [...]

good blog entry finally! - a date!

cmason.home@yahoo.com — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 01:00:00 +0100

So...as a few of you were on chat the other day when I connected from my business trip, I mentioned that I had secured a date for the evening and was very excited about it.

I traveled to a casino near my previous home in California this week for business, and have just returned to Las Vegas this evening. I had taken my son with, since his grandmother on his mother's side lives along the way. The drive is about 3 hours to her house, and another hour or so to my old town.

To [...]

life after first date

a_willis4@sky.com — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:00:00 +0100

Well first date with a man in over 20 years!

Was bloody fabulous. It helped he was a friend but it is wonderful when someone really fancies you. Not had a lot of love the last few months kinda knocks your confidence.

Second date tomorrow, really looking forward to it.

Really happy but still have moments when something happens and think i will text and tell hubby. Then remember he won't care,and i shouldn't. But i guess after 20 years habits are hard to b [...]

Rough weeks ahead...

cmason.home@yahoo.com — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0100

So...here we go.

After cancelling the last 2 times my x2b was supposed to have visitation with our son, she finally seems to have come through. I will be meeting her at the airport early tomorrow morning and he will be flying home with her for 2 weeks.

She has spent a grand total of 12 days since September 17th. Only one full week, which was the week of Christmas and I nearly forced her to spend that week with him. I had to update her on his potty training program, his breakfas [...]
