    Not watching it Beanie, not watching tv at all.

    Would it be wrong to send a text to DH and tell him I want to go for counselling together?

    No if he loves you and cares for your wllbieng he would agree to it. However I would speak to him rather than txt him.

    Pap - Is that BSL or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

    What about a letter then? Think how you would feel if something as important as going for counselling was relayed by txt. I just think its too impersonal and he won't be able to read you 'feelings'. This could mean he take it the wrong way, which would either be good or a disaster :o

    Yes BSL in the city college ;) Always wanted to learn it since I was a teenager :)

    I would text him & sow the seed if it was me.
