    You are very right Hypno...once he has had a definate yes or no tomorrow then we will set timescales. The job starts a week on Monday, so my timescales are he finds place local for 1-2 weeks as a stop gap, in that time he finds a house/flat to rent, collects his stuff and moves after he gets his first months pay and can afford to pay for van etc to move.

    I did say that he he didn't take this job that he would have to find another job and somewhere else to live anyway so I think its pretty clear tbh, he's just trying to be wishey washy so it all falls on me as the one who ended it!

  • Sorry sally I usually only lurk but just wanted to add that no matter who verbally ends it is irrelevant because he ended it when he took the conscious decision to mess about with another woman/women on the net when he was supposed to be in a committed relationship with a child. So he ended it and gave you no choice but to make steps to move on and be strong?

    Sorry if I misread that.

    have you told your family yet? You have our support but you could use theirs as well. Its a big change for all of you Sal but lets be honest, he hasn't been committed to the family for ages.

    No I haven't yet Bun...I want to be able to give them definate answers. So after tomorrow and when he decides if he is taking job then I can tell my mum etc. Im ok to be honest at the moment, It will be once he has moved out and I am having to deal with an upset B....this will get easier I know

    Anyway beautiful day here so I think we are going to local farm to see the lambing :) And I might take b for a little run today as mum bought her some trainers yesterday! (one less thing for me to have to buy...thanks again mum)

    Have a good day Sal, enjoy the farm.
  • Sally,
    I'm supposed to be walking the dog but just got caught up in your diary. Please accept Hugs :)
    Whole new world just around the corner for you, when you want it. I know it takes bucketfuls of emotional energy when life hands you something like this but you sound like you know that already.
    I think keeping busy is good, but remember you need to be kind to yourself too and don't expect too much. And the Terry's All Gold ? Rolo's are better, as long as you have the last one yourself :)
