    No , haven`t seen that one.

    Crying is like your safety valve. If we were steam engines, we`d have a whistle to relieve excess pressure - but we ain`t, so we NEED to have a sob every now and then. Perfectly natural for men too. ( BTW I`m 6` 1 and 17 stone so don`t call me a woosy bloke or I`ll be getting that wet kipper out too.:rotfl: :rotfl: )

    :beer:


    Very true indeed. :D

    Only wimps don't cry.... the men who are too afraid to show their true emotions... ! :rotfl:

    Hang in there user, I cried buckets leading upto BR & still do at times although I'm pleased to say those times are getting less and less. So yes this is probably as bad as it gets. Here's hoping you get your petition into court asap & then your OR interview sorted. After those you will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel

    Big hugs

    I wish I could cry, it would release the horrible anxiety and feelings of impending doom I have about our situation.

    It doesn't help that my partner is doing his best Ostrich impression.

    Yeah, 'twas my very own ostrich that precipitated yesterdays floods. I'm going to try to quote what someone said to me yesterday.

    He is a man. He feels like he has let you down, but if he admits it, he will feel like you have cut his !!!!!!!! off. Therefore he is standing with his hands his his pockets, whistling noncholantly.

    Meanwhile, you are a woman. You have seen the situation for what it is, had a wail about it with your friends, then grabbed hold of it and taken steps to sort it out.

    It's going to take a while for him to catch up.

    That's as close as I can get to what I was told, the original version is way wiser than that! But hope it helps anyway, it made me smile a watery smile ;)

    Hang in there!
