Squizz - he did say in his email 'I didn't realise the strength of your feelings', so I guess you are right, except this is what I sent to him after we went to Cambridge for the weekend, and he had told me he only wanted friendship:
'This isn’t easy but I’ve been thinking a lot since last weekend and I can’t cope with things as they are.
I had an amazing time with you, but I realised that spending time with you just makes me like you more and more, and knowing you don’t feel the same is hard to take, and is making me unhappy.
I can’t continue to be your friend because I can’t stop myself falling for you.
And I can’t hide those feelings and pretend everything is fine and I am happy with a platonic relationship with you, because it’s not fine, it makes me feel sad and lonely and frustrated'.
So how didn't he not 'realise the strength of my feelings'?? Did he think they had just died, in the few weeks between then and now? And in that case, does he just think I'm a bit of a sl*g, sleeping with someone I DON'T have feelings for??
What a c0ck. :mad:"I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
He's just making excuses Snags - he's not going to say "I knew you liked me a lot but I thought I'd just take advantage anyway" because then he'd be admitting he did something wrong.Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0

snags he is a complete @rsehole. Now you listen to me. This !!!! does not deserve your tears. How dare he say that he only slept with you because he was drunk. He is worse than shrek, he pretends to be mr lovely but when he was caught being a cheating maggot he turns the tables and makes it sound as if he was doing you some sort of a favour by allowing you to spend time with him. Who the hell does he think he is?
The comment about being drunk was designed to do nothing other than hurt you. Grrrrrr I really don't like this bloke.
So, mrs fabulous what are we going to do to help you pick yourself up and move on? If you fancy coming down here with the kids for the weekend you are most welcome.:A

Thanks guys, and that's such a kind offer Toto, but can't get any time off work at weekends at the moment.

The comment about being drunk wasn't quite as blatant as that, but that's exactly what he meant. On Saturday he said that rum makes him do dumb things. I jokingly challenged him about that at the time, and he immediately said he hadn't meant it how it sounded, and that some of the things he does whilst drunk are just damn good.
Then in the email last night, he said the reason he felt dumb on Saturday was because he realised he shouldn't have slept with me, and if he had been thinking straight, he wouldn't have.
So maybe it's just me paraphrasing a bit, but I didn't have to jump too far to find the conclusion."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
i have got one of them linda, so i too feel lucky, just wish he didn't have to go away for 6 months....but that will be it end of tours and him helping me with my impending career that starts in 13 sleeps :eek::jbank_of_slate wrote: »After reading lots of the posts over the last few weeks on here about man troubles I consider myself very lucky to have a hard working, lovely, cuddly, considerate hubby.
Didn't want to let go of him and let him out of bed this morning

...Linda xxIt'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.0 -
Good luck with application Sally

Happy anniversary Toto & Fran
