    I have no idea why other than 'his head isn't in the right place at the moment'. TBH I don't care that much about him (....she says with tears rolling down her face and having consumed more half a bottle of wine and no dinner! :rotfl:.) It's just the principle of it. And now I have to tell people that it hasn't worked out etc.

    Luckily flatmate is here, she is running me a bath (I never ever have baths) and will top up the wine.

    ps Bramble/Beth/Others - i'm so sorry for moaning about such an insignificant thing when you have much bigger things to worry about xx

    It's not an insignificant thing at all! Don't feel bad about moaning, but don't wallow either - he's not worth it, the right person is out there for you, just gotta find him!

  • Fb that sounds like the ideal cure. Xxx

    Bramble not selfish at all darling, my birthday is in two weeks, nephews the week after, I understand entirely. Its a day you will remember all your days, no need for it to become doubly sad. xxx
    Beth stay strong, fear of the unknown is always the worst, once you know what you are dealing with you will be much better, and as candy says, you have us. xxx

    Just tell people he's being a fcukwit, no point sugar coating him for the benefit of others.
