Trials of Life

Herr-Berbunch · 08-06-15, 02:30 PM

I've been AWOL for a bit, sorry. The wife and I have decided to call it a day and on Sunday I moved back to dear mater and pater's - fortunately they have a caravan near Skegness that they spend most of the summer at, they've been back for a night to do a bit of washing and gone again.

The reason? I've been a bit of a git. A young lady and I have been in contact and the wife found a few texts - nothing bad in those other than the fact they were late night or early morning and whilst only a few words in each it implied that we were chatting by other means.

What does it mean for me? No idea. I thought our relationship was not bad, but not great, just middle of the road but since getting booted I've slept soundly, I've not shed a tear, and I don't want to go back. As for my daughter, I'm missing about 10 minutes in the mornings with her, but I'm seeing her straight after work until her bedtime and that time has become more involved - not just head in a book or staring at a screen (no offence to anyone currently staring at this screen!).

Any future with the aforementioned young lady? I doubt it, I think she was just a vessel to break the marriage.

I'm sure a lot of you here will disapprove, including me. I never saw this coming, and this isn't how I ever envisaged splitting (I don't know if I even did envisage splitting!). However, I'm sure Dowly will approve as she's a blonde, 24, 34GG.

He can have a pic if he asks nicely.

On the up side, I've now got my parents' password for the WiFi so will be back on here with avengence.

Approve or disapprove, we're all human. It's a shame that you and your wife have split up, but there is life on the other side. At least you've worked something out with your daughter, that can be the hardest thing in any break-up. I've seen two relationships go down the toilet, and trying to work out why is probably one of the hardest things about it, but it happens, the love goes out of a relationship and eventually the friendship isn't enough and things just drift apart.
I just hope that you and her are able to sort all things out amicably and able to go forward as best as possible.

I've seen the way she bent over backwards to be equal with her ex-husband, who was just an arse the whole time. I plan on being as equal, but without being the arse. At least with that relationship it was her that finished it, this time it's me, well technically it's her as she asked me to leave and said there would be no way back, but you know what I mean.

Thanks for your words Jamie, means a lot, I appear to have alienated most around here.

On the contrary Tony and certainly not those that matter.

I've read quite a few pearls of wisdom on this thread and won't attempt to add anything more but suffice to say...we have met on more than one occasion in person (I'll not mention the sharing a room part

), you do have and have used my mobile number in the past should you feel the need to use it and we are not a million miles apart.

Take time for some quiet reflection and work out a coping strategy that is beneficial to both of you and especially your daughter.....Oh, sorry, I said I wasn't going to do that

Chin up mate, it'll all come good in the end

Don't sweat it HB. It happens. It happens a lot. The best you can do is to remain on reasonably good terms for your daughters sake. Wishing you all the best.

Sorry to hear that.
You know where to find me. I already gained trust about such matters from two other members.

Ah yes, I remember you telling me.

Haha, just kidding.

Somewhere near Jesenice, flights in to Ljubjlana then just walk north till it gets a bit hilly. Need my passport renewing first though

Northwest though, just before the Ljubljana basin narrows into the upper Sava valley is a line of villages on the sunny side of a mountain range.

Over time, I've realized that it's important to learn to accept that people change - but what's more, sometimes it's not just people but you that changes over time, and that's alright too. It's often a lot harder to notice that about yourself, and hey, if someone or something else helps clue you into it, I suppose that's a blessing.

We're just glad to have you around!

No disapproval at all. Things happen and people usually work things out and stronger than before in the end . Most important right now is your daughter.

Better days are ahead
