That's it - all his stuff is gone

gioholiday@aol.com — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 01:00:00 +0100

He wanted to come over and get some more clothes etc, so I arranged to be out all day. Went to lunch with mum and the kids, and spent afternoon shopping with them. Had quite a good day, when I got home I checked exactly what had gone, he has cleared out all his clothes, all paperwork, and taken his precious cricket memorabilia. The drawers are now completely empty, and the hangers swing in the empty wardrobes. On the one hand it's good as it means he has no excuse to return, but on the ot [...]

I had this sent to me so I thought I would share the sentiment:

A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter

'Don't forget your Sisters,' she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'The [...]

10 months on.....

flopsybunny_uk@yahoo.co.uk — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Just another 8 weeks to go until my divorce papers can be submitted to the court. Under Scottish Law, and with the simplified process, the soonest one can submit divorce papers is under the 12 months non-cohabitation clause. Well, it’s now been 10 months since he left, so just another 8 short weeks until I can request that our marriage is declared legally ended.

The house is on the market, and I’ve n [...]

Why Blogging Is Cathertic

flopsybunny_uk@yahoo.co.uk — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I’ve been trawling through my past blogs, dating back some 9/10 months. I wouldn’t say it was light reading, but it was interesting and useful to re-read old blogs, and see my own progress in black and white.

This road we are all on, the emotional roller-coaster we ride is a life-changing experience, a learning curve. The first tentativ [...]

Thanks for being here Wiki!

juliet.steven@tiscali.co.uk — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Hello!

I just feel so miserable at the moment. Nothing in particular, just that horrible, gnawing, empty feeling that comes over me every so often.

There are a lot of things going on at the moment. Extra hours at work, forms to fill, finances to be sorted, an angry teenager who has only me to take his anger out on, a dog who is in need of a really long walk etc etc in addition to my stbx & her who are still lurking in the shadows of my mind like a couple of stalke [...]

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 [...]

Strange days.

memorcarpediem@yahoo.co.uk — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

What weird days these are. I think I am coming out the other end, I woke up this morning and didn't think I want to die, I felt calm. I really did want not to be alive on many days but I kept coming to wiki and peeps always picked me up. Hopefully no panic attacks today either. This improvement can't be the pills yet as they haven't had time to kick in yet. I think the fact I have now been open with the gp about how I feel and taken control has made me feel better. I first th [...]

Back to the touchline

annpawley@btinternet.com — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Today was the start of the rugby season. For me, as for so many parents, this means standing on the touchline with a flask, a bacon roll and wellies, while you have uninterrupted chat for 2 hours. Strong friendships are forged this way.

Most of my friends at the club have not seen me since the end of last season, which is when I separated much to everyone's surprise (though not mine after 4 months of torture). A few were unaware this had happened. It is hard to know w [...]

Moaning

andrewcbaillie@msn.com — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I think that many of the blog entries I've been writing, and the comments being received, are serving only to re-enforce one thing... that my wife and I are incompatible.

You see, one of the biggest things that I notice is the level of moaning that goes on in our household. She'll use many situations to have a moan, and I'll moan at her for having a moan.

Take this morning... I'm in the bedroom looking out of the window at the rain coming down, and she's [...]

Don't have an affair

andrewcbaillie@msn.com — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

When I met up with Bob on Tuesday, it was the first time for a while.

I'd been keen to fill him in on the latest, the latest being the fact that I'd found support in this website.

For a long time I've been thinking of having an affair. It would be my way of demonstrating to myself that not all women were as selfish, unreasonable and controlling as the one I'd married.

There are special websites for married people who want to have an extramarital affair, but w [...]

getting in touch

annpawley@btinternet.com — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

My new motto ....never turn down an opportunity to connect. (Does not apply to stbx though)

It's funny how sometimes things happen and you just feel the timing is so spot on, it must mean something. So it seemed very fitting when an e-mail from Friends Reunited popped into my inbox today announcing a profile update on an old friend. We were best friends at school, but have really only exchanged Christmas cards since.

The last few days I have been thinking how m [...]

In Bluer Skies

flopsybunny_uk@yahoo.co.uk — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I debated as to whether or not to write this blog, felt it wasn’t of significance to others, but its important to me, and hey, this is my blog after all!

The past few weeks have been well, life changing to say the least. I had my head firmly stuck in the sand, and couldn’t see the point in removing it. Its better just to stay there and not deal with emotions, right?

Smiling again

andrewarmstrong82@btinternet.com — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

The quietman is back almost to his old self. I have been the happiest man on this planet for the last two months. Children have all made contact with me and having been a good boy and kept my mouth shut, courts have backed off. I am so happy. My two sons have become men. My eldest son turns eighteen this month and his seventeen year brother has left home and moved back to Cornwall. I have spoken on the phone to my youngest daughter and although it left me in tears, Iwas crying for joy. I [...]

Mother and Wife similarities

andrewcbaillie@msn.com — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I'm sure I've heard it said that men marry women that remind them of their mother's. I could be wrong, but somewhere in my sub-concious I've heard that said.

So, what is my mother like?

Well, just about everyone that should be dear to her has walked away from her.

Her husband, her children and her grandchildren. All have either left her or have distanced themselves from her. That's a lot of people, 13 in all.

If I was here, I'd be staring to loo [...]

My walk in the woods

annpawley@btinternet.com — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I had to take my car for its MOT this morning so found myself with a couple of hours to fill. I decided to pull on the wellies and go for a tramp in the woods a short distance from where we used to live.

I used to come here most days with the dog when we lived nearby. Fortunately this is a space I consider to be "mine" rather than "ours" and it was always a place where I felt at peace and very connected. Unlike so many other memories, I felt pleas [...]

Upset about blog comment - note to self

andrewcbaillie@msn.com — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Note to self:

Just a little upset about a comment that was left on my blog yesterday, blog entry entitled "My life's analogy".

Explanation - when things happen in your life, it's easy to become obsessed by it. So, if someone makes a comment about your weight, you can easily find yourself looking in every reflection of a shop window, or mirror, to see if you're putting on weight. Or, if you find out someone has been cheating on you, you normal rational [...]

THE RESULTS ARE IN

dawn.hardie@hotmail.com — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I don't have cancer.

The relief is enormous, I am sitting here bawling my eyes out.

I was so very worried, not just for me but for my family and friends, I had been going through insurances, the property paperwork, thinking of doing everything that might be needed in case they told me the worst.

I was lucky, the specialist was in today and asked me if I was agreeable to him doing the endoscopy, ( having the camera through my nose and down my throat) there and then.< [...]

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

dawn.hardie@hotmail.com — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Enough is enough, I know you have to face the battles to win the war but sometimes it really is too much.

After getting over Pippa dying (mostly anyway) I now have another battle to face.

I have had a bad throat infection for over 8 weeks, after seeing the doctors and the pills not doing anything, they have made an emergency appointment for me at the hospital.

They want to give me a few tests to see if it is cancerous, the doctor told me my chances are good 60/40.
