Hi Little Miss T
Its so good to see you being positive and that things are working out for you since that morning a short time ago.
Its such a great thing to see the DFW forum getting behind you and I'm sure with the character that you've shown that you will be putting this chapter of your life behind you very quickly.
I hope that life is now going to give you something nice to balance out the last few weeks and I hope thats in addition to your trip to Hawaii!
All the best

I don't think I could have resisted the temptation to have text with something sarcastic, a la "shame you didn't stay long enough to use the tickets!" and "thank god I didn't get into debt for the birthday present you were getting" or something equally as weird and vague that he'd never find out what it was. From what you have said he seems like he wanted to control and manipulate you (even by arranging to meet and then not doing so). I wouldn't be able to help exploiting that inherent character defect in him by putting something beyond his control.
You are 23 years old, in the prime of your life. No kids with him, no mortgage with him, no idiot with the half of the brain he may have not functioning like the rest of us. He has done you an absolute favour as you haven't wasted years wanting to leave him and not getting round to it; he did it for you.0 -

Yes the bill is correct, I have been over and over it and tried to find anyway I could to get it reduced (and as I work for a mobile phone company myself I know all the tricks) and there is nothing I can do. And my mobile phone provider are not at all helpful. I will have to pay it though, as that's my only way to keep in touch with my family, I dint have a landline and I would be cut off from the world if I was on PAYG and ran out of credit x
You are with a mobile phone company and can't get a better deal than one which allows the run up of a 385 pound bill? In these days of cheap deals with unlimited minutes that's pretty appalling.
Thats my mobile phone bill for over 3 yearsI would seriously re-evaluate your contract.

I had signed into the contract with Tmobile before i started working here. The reason my bill is so far over is because I used double my minutes because of all of the phone calls I have had to make to try and sort my life out since he left.
I was at work yesterday and one of the girls said that she can't believe how well I'm coping with all of this l, because everyone knows how much I love him, guess I'm stronger than i thought x0 -

If you're calling people like the gas board, bank, local council etc changing all the details to make sure you're not billed for any of his stuff I can well believe you've racked up such a bill....all the customer services phone numbers are 0870 and cost a fortune on a mobile. Have you tried the website "say no to 0870" you just put in the number or the name of the company and it gives you a list of local numbers i.e. 0191 you can call for the same department (depending on your contract you can get for free or much cheaper).0 -
Don't know if this has already been mentioned, but have you thought about making a new will? It's just that at the moment, if you don't have one, everythig goes to your husband...
You can get packs from WHSmiths for about a tenner that will do for a basic one to ensure that he can't benefit if the worst happens.
And also to add what a scum monkey! You are coping so well...
