    I apprecaite each of your responses and I understand were you are coming from.

    In response to maggied, yes this was the straw that broke the camels back. I mean fancy having somebody around showing them a knitting pattern. She's 48, not 88. In the meantime I missed half the match. And all she can talk about is going shopping this week - whilst I'm working. I spoke to the girl at the work do, and she is more than just 'flirting'. I think it will be just a case of moving straight in.

  • Looking into my crystal ball I see...

    Grumpy old man, on his own, in bedsit, paying spousal maintenance to two women (from what is left of his pension) plus maintenance for the floozie's kids (definite if you get married as they are 'children of the marriage' and probably if they have just been maintained by you, and I bet floozie gets pregnant to keep money coming in). Unable to afford heating because of the credit card bills ran up paying for Viagra and trying to keep up with floozie's taste in expensive shoes and doesn't even have a knitted blanket. Grumpy old man never sees his own kids as they are disgusted at the way he treated their mum.

    And wifie is having the time of her life, being able to relax without that football blaring over a conversation, perhaps she has a boyfriend that is a bit more stimulating than the old model, has a little money now to get out and about and maybe a few weeks in winter in Spain...

    Go for it - get your rocks off while you still can use them.

    Catherine Zeta Jones and Julia Roberts are into knitting. That bird in Raiders of the Lost Ark now runs a knitting shop. Knitting is the new yoga, the latest thing, the hobby that loads of youngsters get into....

    You should get her to take you along to the knitting group, lots of talent there, average age around 25

    Ok Paul - if knitting interests her then why is it so outrageous for her to talk to someone about knitting?

    I'm going to be blunt but I mean well - please take a step back if you can and realise you are about to turn into a walking, talking cliche. You're 50 and obviously think of yourself as a bit of OK. You talk to a younger woman at the work do and she makes it clear she wants you to move in and you think it's a good idea? What a bizarre place to make such a life changing decision.

    Has anything actually happened with this other woman? If not why aren't you questioning her motives? She wants a married man twice her age to move in with her and her children (the effect this could have on her children alone could make up a whole other thread) - is she struggling to make rent or something?

    If your marriage is truly over then at least allow yourself some time to end it before you move on again - I don't see how this could be anything else than disastrous. For you, for your wife (please tell me you still have some respect for her - you're about to devastate her), your children, HER children and your grandchildren.

    What makes you think life would be so much better with this other woman? Do you not think it will be same sh*t, different woman. Quite a lot of us talk over the tv and ramble on about shopping - big shock!

    I'm actually hoping you are winding us up because it depresses me that someone could really be thinking like this.

    Absolutely spot on!

    Last straw was yesterday when I decided to stay at home to watch the match on the tv and she had invited a friend around to show her how to do a specific knitting pattern. They talked all the way through

    Might be cheaper to buy a second telly.

    I take offence to this. I work 40 hours plus a week. She stays at home and I can't even watch my own footie on a Sunday without hearing her and her friend 'gabbling' all the way through. She could have quite easily done this during the week, whilst I'm at work.

    As for the girl at work. Yes, she is a younger model and I mentioned to her this morning about the incident yesterday. She said that she didn't blame me for feeling fed up with the situation. She actually mentioned about 'moving out'!!!

    You really sound like a dirty, grumpy, self-centered old git. Good luck with the money grabbing young tramp, Don Juan! I think you'll be doing your wife a favour.
