    HOLY CR*P BB:eek: :eek: :eek:

    ???????

    he has a 'problem' shall we say :rolleyes: which he won't sort out or even get properly diagnosed, which he used to say was down to too much smoking. Occasionally though, he says it is because of me being overweight, but when challenged (as I do now in my all new sparkly 'ballsy' attire) he admits he 'doesn't know' if it would make a difference if I were slim or not.

    However, his 'problem' (which I would be sympathetic about) seems to somehow affect his ability to have any sexual interest in me whatsoever (presumably because I am overweight - as I have been since we met)......which I am not sympathetic about.......:rolleyes:

    Congratulations Rugby Mum that is a great start to the New year

    and I am SO jealous.

    seriously best wishes and do you speak German?

    OH is from same village as my family and I lived there till I went to UK high school. Loads of friends in common & my family know him well, so no major language barriers for me. Kids on the other hand......they are looking forward to it, but a bit apprehensive about leaving school & friends.

    How did you meet BB? Sorry, hope you don't think I'm being nosy but I'm just interested, is he a charming sort of guy? You know, can he talk the talk?

    BB using your weight is a low-down excuse! I presume he is George Cloony (or whoever takes your fancy)?
    Apart from the companionship are you getting anything else from this guy?
    Oh hun, have a BIG HUGGY HUG.

    Not a major surprise, as others will tell you I've been speculating for a few weeks, but when it finally did happen I was overwhelmed! He didn't get down on one knee we were...ummmmmm..... busy!;)
    But the words were so romantic, the killer is though that due to my excruciatingly poor memory, I can't remember exactly what he said:mad:


    he knows exactly what he said and when he said it..... ask him to say it again... but in somewhere like the pub.

    Sparkle - we met in a pub in amongst a group of people with a common interest so I knew we had stuff in common. When he first met me, he was very charming. Kind, considerate, thoughtful, bit of a knight in shining armour, rescuing me from my previous relationship.

    It lasted about 3 months...........he had an argument with someone we knew who thought he wasn't quite all he seemed and he literally just gave up and became who he is these days.

    i've seen him be like that with other women when we are occasionally out - he comes across as witty, thoughtful and there as someone who listens to them.


    rugbymum - I think it's the companionship, if I'm honest.

    Anyway, enough of that carp.

    I'm off to get Charlie and I'm off for a walk in the park before it gets any colder.

    humour me,

    treat your man, tonight, as if he is the knight in shining armour that you needed.
    NEED.

    don't criticise anything he does, make stuff if you have to, but my bet is, you can find 100 things he does for you that you wouldn't get anywhere else...

    TELL HIM

    talk to me tomorrow and tell me i'm wrong ;)

    Now he is up and back on his laptop - peace is restored....I give up...:mad:
