Major milestone reached today. Collected the last load of stuff from my old house and said goodbye to Hubby. We'll stay in contact, but I feel like I have taken a big step with regards to moving on.
Feeling really messed up right now, which is the first time I have felt any real emotion about leaving behind my marriage. Up until now all the emotion has centred on the fear of my new lifestyle and the unknown, rather than what I am leaving behind
Oh dear caz. Not surprising though. I still get the grief creeping up and biting me on the bum in the midst of positive moments. I seem to be meeting a few people now. Went to a college reunion which started respectably in the house of commons dining room and ended up in a random soho bar at 3 am with a bunch of people I didn't know at college. Had an agreeable date with one of them a week later - not sure where that will go, but it was fun - she is abroad now for a bit. Someone I know through work, that I dated once or twice (+ snogs) wants to go out on Monday (always naughtier on a school night) Always friendly when we meet but she keeps a distance - she has a massive family and spends weekends with one or other cousin/nephew/sister. A couple of months ago I even drunkenly rejoined the internet site I was on earlier in the year and then have not really fancied getting involved - all too weird. Suddenly started chatting with a real lovely (well seems like it so far). A bit like buses.
Had a lot to drink last night, then a long lie in this morning, although I was awake early. I find this a good time to think things through and get my life in perspective. It was really productive this morning and I now feel so much better. Actually I feel happier than I have for a long time. Positively bouncing off the walls today.
Sounds great about meeting people PS. I'm outgoing enough that I meet people without having to specifically use a dating site. If there is someone else out there for me then they wll find me soon enough. At the moment I am enjoying being where I am.
Glad to hear it Caz. I went on the dating site on a whim in the new year and enjoyed meeting a couple of new people, although it taught me I wasnt quite ready then - i tend to meet coppers and criminal lawyers at work - plenty are single but they are quite a niche crowd (why do you think they are single?) and it would be nice not to talk about work. Most of my other friends are well attached.
Oh I avoid anyone from work. You have to be a control freak and extremely anal to do my line of work. I don't want to be going down the pub with that sort of person.
But I find sport a great way of meeting people that I have a lot in common with. I've proably got to know about 50 new people over the last year through swimming and triathlon. If I am going to find anyone then it will be through sport
I am a rugby player that runs a bit. Fairly laddy company! Getting a bit old for the bashing, mind.
Lea - Cheers, but unless I go looking for a partner I have no chance of meeting anyone. I work in IT, there are no women. All my friends are long term coupled up and as much as I love them they wouldn't be the squad you'd assemble if you wanted to meet single ladies. I honestly do think I'd about as far away from what most women want. I'm not flirty at all. I'm not a banter/patter merchant. In truth I probably do the tall quiet guy a bit too well. I've pretty much got used to the fact it's just me myself and I, which it has been for four years now.
*delurks*
Mima! Do you have gossip?!
Bookie, I think you know the answer to that
Frodo, its your punishment for not coming to the party
It is tomorrow!!! SPILL! hehehe
You're right, it is tomorrow!!! Tell us, tell us, tell us...
*drums fingers, expectantly*....
I have met someone....and he is fabulous! The rest however is mine to keep secret...just know that I am very very happy we met. I'm a lucky duck...who has had a lucky event and a lucky escape from a very dark period of time. There is light at the end of the tunnel...and if I have had to wait this long to meet him then...so be it.
Aw!!!! Is it someone on here?! Lovely news
Thank you Lee - saying no more
Frodo "like"s this
So that means YES. Who is it?!?! hehehehe. Just kidding; is fair enough if you want to keep some secrets
Ah, young love.....
I think folks might want to keep thenselves to thenselves while they get to know each other before they blab on here chuckles Oh and duck
