    Hey Sall, I know what you mean about the guilt when it comes to spending money; kind of like the buried head in sand scenario. But I think if you were gonna spend the money on something you think didn't really needed then the i-phone is it. The Apps are fantastic and it is so much more than a phone (but you knew this anyway) Anyway darker days are fading (i mean, brighter days are on the horizon)

    Am really really having a bad day....just can't shake off this horrible black cloud lurking today. I think the reality of being on my own is starting to kick in...yes there are elements that are great but its the adult conversation and having someone there if needed that I am missing....Just feel lonely :(

    Sorry you're having a bad day Sal, are you stressing about the weekend visit?

    The lonely feeling does pass, don't be hard on yourself though, if you're not sure you've done the right thing then talk to him about it....everything will work itself out eventually, I promise you x

    No he wasn't...we barely spent anytime together...had meals then either one of us did bath/bed then he spent the evening on the computer upstairs and I was downstairs. In fact when I needed him the most, the times I really needed to rely on him, he always couldn't cope with it. Doesn't stop me thinking about needing him now...but then the reason I need someone is because of his actions so counter productive needing the person who has caused the pain

    Yes I am stressing about weekend..the unknown and then having to pick up the peices when he leaves.

    I know things will get easier, just need to be happy within myself

    I think after this weekend you are going to have to lay down some ground rules.
    I dont actually think it will help in the long term him coming & staying.
    Fair enough he has to see B but he needs to make other arrangements for somewhere to stay as IMO that wont help.Sorry dont mean to be harsh.
