A couple of years ago (after living with a guy for nearly 20 years) I found a book by Sherry Argov. She has written a few, but the one I read was 'Why Men love !!!!!es (from Doormat to Dreamboat)'

I would recomend it to anyone in a relationship and being taken for granted, anyone described as just too darn nice (Worried Jim, sorry but you come to mind on this one) or anyone confused as to why the P** always rains on them. I wish I had read it, 20 years ago (and re-read it every year between then and now).

Here is the amazon link, but I'm sure there will be cheaper copies on green metropolitan http://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Men-Love-!!!!!es-Relationship/dp/1580627560

It is a jokey read, but has some very good reminders about self-respect and how women and men think differently (partnerships are just that, not power-struggles with one party getting the worst deal part of the time)

Hi, can I join? Two years on my own and bored

I've tried dating sites but they don't really do it for me (it's seriously scary when you go on a dating site and see blokes who were there 5 years ago... still with the same photo!).

I have recently joined up to some meet-up groups with the intention of socialising, so I'll see what happens.

I have a disability though which affects my confidence - tbh the casual observer wouldn't even notice, but I get a lot of help at home and get exhausted very quickly. I am hoping 'the one' will see past this.... :A

Hey Ladies and Gents

Well I couldnt resist reading through this thread, glad to find people in the same boat as me. I'm not long out of a relationship and have found it hard to deal with but am getting better now (thankfully), he was and still is a great guy whom I thought I would spend my future with. Now its over I am looking to the future, I'm not ready to look for someone else but if something spontaneous happens then that would be fine! I'll keeptrack of this post and contribute whenever I can.

There were earlier posts about what people say their interests are, have to admit to the meeting friends/cinema/shopping/usual stuff but when I see someone who writes about all sorts of outdoor activities theyre interested in it also puts me off a bit as I imagin never being able to see them! Haha how silly now I write it down.

I don't want mine back. The trouble is he keeps going on about what a really good time we had when we had a family lunch out the other day, and he keeps hinting that we should do it again. :eek:

I've been single for a year, and don't particularly want anybody, as it took 15 years to get rid of the last one. Do you get a booby prize if you lose? :rotfl:

We were meant to go out for a few drinks last night except at 7.15pm he text me to say he is going out with the guys instead... he had been out with them Friday night too so it's not like he hadn't seen them!

That's pretty much looking like a ditch then.

EURGH.

I think my challenge needs to be LESS promiscuity in 2011 and being more faithful to my lovely girlfriend (she's waiting for me in Thailand...). OK so yes, I know I'm a bad person, but it's only physical satisfaction... she is the only girl in my heart and thoughts .

It's only 15th Jan and I've slept with 3 people already . Two on NYE and one last night (feel a little guilty about that one. Had a house party at mine and she had just moved in to the flat opposite. She saw the party going on and decided to pop over to say hi. 30 mins later we are snogging. She was telling me she should stop as she didn't want to be unfaithful to her boyfriend... but my badboy side kicked in and that just made it more of a challenge... she went home afterwards and not really looking forward to bumping into her again! What's the phrase? Don't s*** on your own doorstep!!!).

Must be less of a man-slag!
