Hello all! :santa2: I have been reading lately but haven't had the chance to post!

Riskyb I think this may have been asked before but I missed the answer - how do I view your blog? I'd really like to see it after what i've heard on here.

I hope everyone who is stressing manages to get everything done - and just remember everything doesn't have to be perfect. Make sure you look after yourself too with all of this rushing around! x

Haven't logged in on computer at all lately, though I have been reading thread on my phone.

My Christmas spirit has gone so I haven't been posting except to send congrats cos I would feel bad if I didn't. Not sure it will be coming back to be honest. Will probably make an appearance on Christmas eve when I'll be with my family and niece and nephew.

Not long after we put up the tree discovered o/h and been secretly texting and messaging through facebook some lass. Had my suspicions but nothing concrete, until I found a message. He swears nothing happened (and to be honest I believe him cos he is always with me or at work/football training) and that it was just messaging. But since the message included them discussing an argument we had had I feel really betrayed and hurt and the fact that he was saying keep it to facebook its more secret and she was "well can't you just put a password on your phone?".

We are trying to get past it, my god its so hard! I am OK one minute then a thought will pop into my head and I'll be in bits Its worse that I know he has always fancied her and she has recently broken up with her boyfriend (who coincidently was texting another woman,she gave him an ultimatum and he picked other woman!)

So I haven't been feeling christmassy, but I still love to read and see what everybody is up to and I know there are a lot of people with bigger problems than mine, although a lot of us have lost our spirit lately.

I am looking forward to wearing my Christmas jumper and my Christmas socks. Only thing I am slightly stressing about is that we have a turkey instead of a turkey crown so I'm not sure when to take it out to defrost?

Sorry for the personal post and amount of personal detail but its been weird not having chats on here with everyone and I just thought I'd share.
Hugs to everyone that needs them xx

Oh meant to say...went to see Rise of the guardians on Wednesday with niece(9) and nephew (7) really felt like that was a film they could have released any time of the year. I know it wasn't going to be Christmassy with it being set at Easter but then why not release it at Easter and do something more Christmas based? Maybe they struggle for Christmas plots?

On the plus side its the only kids film I haven't cried at for a long time. Coming from someone who cried at 'How to train your dragon' that's a big deal for me!

I saw it last week and loved it. I think because FC was in it, they had to release it now. Grumpy people would go made if he was in a film, and the meeting place was the North Pole, at any other time of year.

Forgot to say, one of DDs friends told her she was lucky to have a young and trendy Mum yesterday. Blest her, the poor kid thought I was about 34. (am 40 next year). Needless to say dd put her straight. Think her friend forgot I had a ds of 19. Friend said people my age should have wrinkles.:eek:

What a sh*tty thing. I'm so sorry love, I have been there and know how you feel!

Once, I was seeing a guy (let's call him Mr D*ckhead) and we'd been keeping it relatively quiet, because he had a son with his ex (let's call her Betty) and it was all still quite raw and difficult for everyone involved. We were gradually telling friends but our families already knew. After about 18 months, I was at the theatre with a mate who I hadn't seen in ages and we were late, so rather than catching up first we went straight in to our seats. Just as the lights went down, she innocently whispered "Have you heard Betty is expecting again?" and I (naively) said "Wow, who with?" and she said "Mr D*ckhead, who do you think?" Cue me sitting, silently in the dark watching people do jazz hands in my face at a fri*ggin musical, feeling like someone had punched me square in the chest! And it hadn't been one night for old time's sake, he had just been seeing her the whole time. Needless to say, it was over! I can laugh about it now thankfully.

Anyway, that's not relevant - this is about you, sorry! Has your OH articulated why he was doing it? I think lots of us turn to other people at different times and for different things, but if he can explain why (and why her) it might help clear your thoughts a bit.

Only you can know what actions qualify as betrayal to you and only you can figure out how to work through this. All I'd say is don't ever place the survival of a relationship ahead of your own, individual well-being. I think we can have such an instinct to build and repair that it can really cloud our thinking of what is best for us. Sending lots of festive hugs your way and do feel free to rant and unload on here or by PM!

Oh no i'm so sorry to hear this, I can only imagine how awful this must be for you. Sometimes people in a relationship like to feel they are still attractive to the opposite sex even if physically they don't act on it, they just like the attention and sometimes take it a bit too far. I read an article about text affairs recently and none of them were going to take it further they just liked the thrill of it. This doesn't excuse what he did at all though and i'm sure it won't hurt any less. Do rant on here though if it helps you, it can make all the difference getting it off your chest and getting some support! I really hope you can both work through it and can still enjoy Christmas as much as possible. x
