    Oh Watty, no words of advice, just a hug for you!

    Sorry to hear about MH too - that's just not fair on you or him. :(

    I am so sorry to hear your news Watty. For what it's worth, I do know of an example where this happened and the couple is still together (apparently happy) 15+ years later. Can't be more specific at the risk of outing myself, but there is sometimes a way back. Hugs.

    Sending hugs as well...I hope counselling can help, and the wait for the next session goes quickly.

    Fingers crossed for MH too!

    thanks for all the hugs. Reduced me to tears but in a good way. I can't remember what I came on here to post now. I think I'll go and have a cup of tea and come back later.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Thinking about buying a new mattress. Expensive. Can't decide if it is worth buying when actually one of the spare room beds is really comfortable (just not where I am sleeping) or not.....total flux here. Decide to and then decide not to and then decide to all in the space of 15 mins. I found the one I wanted a few months back and now has 30% off (its not from a big retailer that does the sales ever so often) so now might be a good time. Really need a good nights sleep - but - mattress isn't really the cause of a bad nights sleep at the mo ...and so I go round the loop again!
