    Yuck, no way she is not that bad!!

    believe me when I say NO ONE deserves that.

    they are the MOST disgusting things I have ever owned.

    Ok, maybe that was a bit much.... gaffer tape?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Yeah, something long term that won't get me arrested or committed.

    the worst thing is she doesn't mean it and its just layering the guilt on me even mentioning it, but so help me its only been a few days and I am already :mad: and taking more deep breaths than is strictly necessary.

    You take all the breaths you need. How about when she starts, you start playing the air violin?

    any chance his marriage/relationship broke down cos he's a workaholic?:rolleyes:

    I haven't really asked but I do think priorities came into it somewhere - I know they did with his most recent relationship. I think although he says the marriage split was mutual, something happened that he is still angry about too, he veers between saying how amicable everything is, to sounding quite bitter at times.

    If I knew him a bit better, I would say something, but he's under so much pressure that I think if I add any more, he will either crack, or just finish things, so I think patience is the only way to deal with it at the moment.

    It's hard though because I really like him, and I could seriously fall for him, but I'm trying hard not to, because I don't think it will work out. *sigh*

    Why don't you just have him as a friend and go looking for someone more suitable?

    But not green.

    Hahaha, ohhh, trust me when I say there will be no more contact with anyone 'green'. ;)

    A couple of people have seen the last email I sent him - it's fair to say he wont be in touch again.

    Friendship would be difficult with Mr Sunday. Not because I don't get on with him, but because I fancy him like crazy, and I would always want more than friendship. I thought I could cope with a friendship with Shrek, but in the end I couldn't.

    A male friend of mine said to me yesterday 'Jo, sorry babe, but you are truly sh*t at choosing blokes'. :rotfl:
