The family holiday that was and the house that wasn't

markc600@hotmail.com — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Mid-August again

Had finally found a house I really liked, you know, the sort of thing that you walk in and know straight away it's right for you. Feel really relieved and feel the stress dropping away. Hooray, life is good. It's a bit out of my price range, but taking it down 5% will do the trick. Arrange to see the financial advisor to let him do the negotiations. We agree to wait ‘til next week so as not to seem too keen, kind of like a game of poker I supp [...]

Ok I'm Not Impressed

markc600@hotmail.com — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Mid August...

Week has been taken up with house hunting activities, wading through long lists from local estate agents. Very little catches my eye, which again worries me. But I find one I really like and get quite excited about it. Take advise and decide to wait until the next week before putting in an offer (don't want to appear too keen).

Come home on Saturday morning (covering J's day shift) to find that in the week since I last came, the kitchen's a mess, y [...]

Act One, Scene One, Blog One...

markc600@hotmail.com — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Here goes, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent (and the guilty). Apologies if this is a bit long, but a lot has happened in my world recently.

Been debating with myself whether to put anything in writing in the big wide world for all to see. To be honest, I think it's all for my benefit - a kind of therapy, making sense of it all. Up until recently (and I mean *really* recently) everything was bottled up, never discussed and all was rosy. But it' [...]

How I Got Here

macrae.macrae@btopenworld.com — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Here I am a 42 year old man married with 3 kids (12, 10,& 4) and until 3 weeks ago looking to have a future with the only woman I have ever loved.

Now I find myself relegated to the spare room (only as a temporary measure until I have somewhere to go) with a wife who states she does not want to be married to me and wants me out.

How did this happen?

Background

We had known each other for 3 years before getting together and movin [...]

why i cant die!

g.marks80@ntlworld.com — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Or should i say why cant i die?

sorry if i sound so low, but im having an awful time at the moment. The reason i cant die is because of my kids,they have got a crappy mother, who doesnt give a sh.t about them,so therefore i have to be strong for them. trouble is i dont want to be strong any more,i have had enough, even after having had a heart attack, my so called family and friends still dont care enough to ring, just to see if im alri [...]

Am still living in family home and therefore absolutely skint. Husband and daughter both on school hols, while im at [...]

My first post

chemtrek1@gmail.com — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I broke a trust with my wife....I lied to her. I did not at anytime be unfaithful to her. She was and is my only one love. But about two years ago when this happened, our daughter left for university. We started moving apart. I did not give her the attention she needed. She however reconnected with friends from the past (at least two) on line through facebook.

She developed relationships with them once again. In all this time she thought I guess [...]

ranting of a mad cow

nikki.cartwright2@btinternet.com — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

i have never done anything like this before so i will apologise now before i start. On thursday 7Aug it will be 1 year since i kicked my now x husband out for having yet another affair. And to say its been a horrible year is a huge understatement. On friday 8 August i bury my mum, my best friend, my strength, my support for the past 12 months . I also found out that my x never had his x girlfriends name taken off the mortgage, which means i cant buy him out. The house is falli [...]

First Day Back At Work

wikivorce@sbainbridge.cix.co.uk — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 01:00:00 +0100

One small step for a man, one giant leap for his mental health

Sorry for the terrible miss-quote.

First of all something about how I regard my job and myself - I regard myself as a professional person doing a job that I love with dedication, enthusiasm and with a passion, It was a moment of great despair when I learnt of the stbx's immenant departure and being sent home from work being unable to do the job I loved so much. It was the correct decision as I would have [...]

Thanks for the Blog Comments !

wikivorce@sbainbridge.cix.co.uk — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:00:00 +0100

This blogging seems to be very therapeutic. I was really encouraged by the three replies to my first blog, SOMEONE OUT THERE CARES. I would like to reply to the people who commented below

Marriaa

Thanks for the comments, I am sure that you are correct in that the emotions one experiences come in different orders for different people, sorry to hear that you are having to cope with loss at the moment, loss is a difficult emotion to deal with as there does not appear any way to [...]

My First Blog

wikivorce@sbainbridge.cix.co.uk — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I started this blog as my profile, initially I felt too shy to post it, but having reviewed it I thought it would really be better as a blog

Need to give myself a reality check!

s73serendipitous@aol.co.uk — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Had an appointment with the GP this morning to just mention a few things health wise to be met with a stark warning.

"Lose weight! and do it now!"

My weight has slowly crept up over the last few years, although I have always been heavier than I should have been.

This last year has seen my diet become really bad. Some days just existing on toast, chocolate and diet coke. My 3 eldest children now have free school dinners and the younger 2 are not big eaters so I just [...]

Life Coaching & relationships

evans.serena@gmail.com — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 01:00:00 +0100

One of the best pieces of advice I was given, shortly after I left my ex, was to ask for some professional counselling. I was given this advice by a colleague who is also a divorcee, who had benefitted from this himself during the time of his marriage break-up. I'm lucky that I have health insurance through work so I thought I would take advantage and make an appointment with my GP.

To make this as succinct as possible - I cried all over my GP whilst explaining the situation and a [...]

Living with verbal abuse / manic depression

evans.serena@gmail.com — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Hi all

I've been a member of this site for a few weeks now, and have spent many hours reading everyone's stories. I've only recently replied to a couple of posts but have been overwhelmed by the difficulties that so many people have gone through. So many people have been so brave and I'm only sorry, as I know everyone is, that some people can be so cruel and cause so much pain.

I'm coming to the end of my struggles now and thought I would write, partly to sha [...]

Housewife's Final Blog

flopsybunny_uk@yahoo.co.uk — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 01:00:00 +0100

When I started writing my blog, I found it easier to invent an alter-ego and write as though what was happening to me, was actually happening to someone else. Although I wrote in the first person, it, for me, was less difficult to describe the emotions of “housewife”, rather than the emotions of Ruby. (Hope that makes sense?) So instead of blogging as Housewife in the future, I intend to blog as me.
