    Sammy is a treadmill a possibility?

    Our circs are not the same I know but I find it very hard to say 'right, I am off out' as to OH that could be time spent with him... not that he says it - he is v encouraging - but it is hard when you run the house and people in it, to just !!!!!! off on your own, whether it's for half an hour or half the day. And I am a creature of habit, I do X on X days and hate my routine being changed :o

    I'd love a treadmill though if I had the £££ or the space... well got the space but suspect the noise next to DS's room would be a problem... and I know some people are anti-tready :rolleyes: but I love them (when I lived five minutes from the gym, sigh...)

    i am seriously thinking about it, even though I can't really stand running on a treadie...

    May I be so rude as to ask my friends to look over my post on page 2 re. DH...

    I had Manchester to look forward to,

    I have just sat and tried to work out when we went to Manchester - I honestly couldn't remember, my brain is turning to mush. I think if I remember now - it was February?? Have I really only had 1 night out (at a manky chinese!) since February??!!

    Bun :kisses3: what do you think about what DH said? Is he blaming your PC use for everything? That's not fair. I sometimes get a bit of eye-rolling if I am online again and my typing is apparently irritating :confused: hence I lurk :rolleyes:
    but blah this isn't about me - what do you want from DH and what is he prepared to give?

    From things you've said in the past if it were me I'd be insisting on him seeing a GP for a start.

    Bun........this probably won't be worded right (so difficult without the actual intonation etc) but I am sure you've been here before :( with him saying exactly the same thing. I think it's an excuse on his part to be honest. Last time he said you were online too much etc you stopped posting or chatting when he was home and I'm guessing it didn't make a huge difference to things generally.

    He is just making excuses for his lack of emotion/physical/ 'etc' relationship with you for whatever reason is in his head and trying to shift the responsibility on to you by saying he isn't more 'into' you (in that way - cough) because of you being online.

    sorry if that doesn't read right :o but basically I'm just trying to say it isn't your fault, it's something in his head he needs to sort out one way or the other.

    To me, a treadmill is to running outside what a bike in the gym is to cycling outside - I love spin bikes but have poor balance otherwise :o I like the spring of treadmills, the air-con in the gym may also be a factor...
    Ah I'd love to join a gym but the £££ and the time... when DS is at school maybe :rolleyes:

    Tigz-NIGHTMARE! Poor you!

    Sammy-I am in fits of giggles imagining your Fort Knox like house. And there are quite a few carboots on the Rabbit run and a good one in Telford.

    Squizz-Well done strong lady.

    Maz-I too wish I was closer to help xxx

    I 'tried' to have a talk with DH about current 'state of affairs' apparently, I am 'Ice Woman addicted to computer' so there you go. Will not be on internet at home when he is home because I also ignore him and the kids. There ya go.

    Sorry Bun, missed this until you asked us to look.

    My first reaction is that he's grasping at straws, looking to blame someone/something other than himself.

    firstly, thanks for the offer of help... mwah :kiss:

    and re the other thing... hmmmmmm i dunno...i fail to see how you can be an ice woman if you are asking for warmth and affection...

    y'know i think he's a lovely bloke... and lovely in a lot of ways ... but if he didn't rip your clothes off when you came home from your trip then he is the one with the problem as you are a babe....

    how to fix it? i don't really know....


    i can see how people get miffed at folks who spend lots of time on here, but if there's nothing else on offer then why not... if Big W ever objected, i would say well i'm in the same room, you're watching that screen, i'm watching this one....

    however if it looks like you're on here less and it placates him then you can say you kept your side of the bargain when you review things in future...

    but we still want to see loads of you, so get posting from work!!lol!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
