    Sorry to hear that SS - clearly it was not meant to be :o

    The new improved and debt free you will be a 'catch' ;) So for the moment, hope you are doing lots and lots of 'fishing' :p :rotfl:

    So it would seem! We were together 4 1/2 years! Engaged for 3 but hey !!!!!! happens! :rolleyes:

    So I will be a catch in roughly 3 1/2 years! :rotfl:

    Oh my, now I feel bad :o

    I'm just too nosey for my own good aren't I?!

    I hope it was a mutual thing, that you're not totally cut about it, or else I'll feel even worse for mentioning it :o

    *note to self - quick, think of way to change the subject* :whistle: :rotfl:

    I'm getting over it. The therapy sessions are helping tonnes and I'm down to only 3 sessions a week now which is good! :)

    You weren't to know, don't worry! :)

    Hey well, that'll teach me to ask silly questions won't it!

    Good luck with your bank charges claim by the way! I have to admit there's part of me that wishes I'd been charged these penalties by the bank so that I could have a fight with them and get them back. Ok, so I know that sounds silly, and it is only a small part of me, but still....

    ..... think I just feel left out.....

    .....I feel left out of being charged unfair penalties by my bank and then having to go to the trouble of threatening them with court.... how silly :rotfl:

    Ok, so I don't feel left out any more!

    But I'm hoping things turn out well for everyone else :D

    Well its hard to tell sometimes, without tone of voice and all!

    Didn't want to try the whole "foot in mouth" syndrome twice in one evening, not room for both feet in there :rotfl:

    Didn't mean to be flippant bout your relationship either though, break ups are hard, especially when you're engaged (I'd imagine :o).

    Don't be daft! :)

    It still makes me wonder whether things would have turned out different if I'd been honest about my debts to her! We never did anything coz I couldn't afford to do anything so things kind of sizzled out! But never mind! As my favourite motto says '!!!!!! happens'! :rotfl:

    True, you can wonder "what if..." forever can't you?

    I know from my own experience, towards the end of my relationship (last oct) I didn't really want to talk to my gf about anything. I think i knew it wasn't working between us, subconciously before I admitted it to myself, and I felt like talking to her was pointless. Especially about anything serious like money! Also the fact that she just started to get on my nerves :mad: :rotfl:

    Breaking up has been the best money saving thing I've done, he he! I don't feel pressured into spending now and I'm happier so less of the comfort spending :rolleyes:

    I don't know if any of this is similar to you but I'd agree that your worrying about money probably did affect things in some way, whether consciously or not.

    Weird how it affects things that don't even seem to be money related :confused:
