    I'll manage because I am amazing.. and worth so much more than this $h!t.. I'll probably have a spell of falling to pieces.. which for me usually lasts 2-3 days.. I can do that.

    Yes you are because we ALL (all women) are

    No I am actually about 3 underneath my cool calm restrained adult exterior... spitting in his gravy and putting socks in his coffee is not beneath me.

    I won't tell you what I did to exH's flask - the one he took to work then cos it was even more gross than that. Made me feel better though!

    I helped my friend make her cheating louse of a husbands gravy with water from the garden pond.. and encouraged her to put used tissues in his lunch box and a dead blackbirds leg we found in the garden in his sandwich..

    It is really crap actually because I do really like him.. oh well... there is a prolific ocean of others out there.. ;) My bestest drinking buddy (well she's not that good she is an absolute lightweight) would be pleased to have me back in town as it were.. ;) .. I am good at what I do... and she gets to take them home :p

    Well done! You have obviously worked hard for it :T

    I have ground to a halt :( Maybe all this talk about courses and results should make me look at the course I am thinking of doing. I need to do it remotely as I can't take time off work. So I need to look at options like the OU (it's on my list!)

    DW on, washing all in & folded. Dinner eaten.

    Pigpen - I hope you manage to work things out. Sounds cliche, but you really need to talk to each other - about the 'virtual' friend, the lack of help - everything. Personal question - does OH work? I would offer you hugs if I thought it would help :o

    they really are pathetic, blokes.

    *one is rather glad one ditched the LSB*

    If I had REALLY !!!!ed another woman off I would not eat anything she had been anywhere near ;)

    Not at the moment he doesn't work :( .. which I don't think does him any good either.. but I can't force him out of the door! He couldn't afford his house when he was made redundant so moved here when I was pregnant with Squeak so he didn't have to go to his mothers and I think he feels it was a huge mistake now.

    We don't seem to talk about anything if I am truly honest.. I talk he listens.. he talks I glaze over and make relevant grunts periodically..

    He isn't a very strong personality and I .. well.. I am... shocking that I know :p

    What if he moved back to his mums for a couple of weeks. If he did the same there by not helping, maybe his mum would have a word. Or he might just realise how much you do and how much he could help more.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    He isn't allowed to do anything houseworky.. she nags him about other stuff like moving boxes and tuning in dvd players etc but he is not expected to even make his own food!!!!
