    Snaggles, I'm so sorry to hear all that.

    If anyone does want a book group on here, I'm happy to organise it. I run a real life one so I'm used to it.

    Well I went into town but forgot to take ID, so I couldn't open the account. I've got the form though so hopefully I can do it in the next couple of days. I also couldn't find a mug I need. My dad got me a coffee machine for my birthday but none of my cups fit it. I really want one of the short fat small cappuccino mugs but couldn't find any. So if anyone's got any ideas of where I can look that'd be great!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    I'm suddenly seeing the relationship for what it was and feel like a bit of an idiot really, but I'm not going to let this get me down. I realise now that he is very controlling, which was maybe what attracted me at first, I needed someone who was a bit protective and overwhelming after feeling like Stu was always so distant. But I'm not going to spend my life with someone who thinks it's okay to claim to be in a serious relationship with me, but wont tell anyone, and gives or withholds his affection as a way to punish or reward me.

    I've got 2 great kids, and to be honest, it's a bit soon for me to be in another serious relationship anyway, so I'm just going to enjoy being single for a bit.

    I've purged my phone, deleted his number so I wont text or ring next time I feel sad and deleted all his meaningless flirting from my Facebook (wish I could block him but it looks like he's actually removed himself from Facebook altogether, not just deleted me........still, if he comes grovelling back at some point, I can have the pleasure of deleting HIM).

    I need to delete the emails I've saved too, but I'm not quite ready to do that yet for some reason. Maybe later, or tomorrow.

    I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. :)

    :rotfl: My best friends son who is 16 bought a hot chocolate in Starbucks and walked out with the cup, he honestly thought that the price he paid for the hot chocolate with marshmallows included the cup:eek:

    Hugs Snaggles.

    From what you've said, and told me in the past, it does sound like what's happened is for the best hun.....maybe I shouldnt have said that :confused:

    He comes across as quite immature, and moody and no-one needs to be treated like that.
