There are two occasions we find out alot about people, more than any other.

1. Around Christmas time. When you find out what people are like with who their priorities are with and their reasons for doing what they do

2. When you live with someone - great when you live apart, what will it be like living with them?

Hi - good to see you:)

You are so right about living with people to get to know them.

I get on better with my son when he's not living with us but he changes and it is depressing living with someone who is not making the best of his youth. I am 44 next year and feel I haven't got the same opportunities as him anymore. I feel far better than I did when I was 20 healthwise but people only want young people these days. I don't know what to do next but feel wasted sitting around the house and putting up with depressing things.

I feel there will be many changes in the new year.

My OH feels his job is going to go plus the woman boss is being a cow to him.

There is going to be building noise sometime from next door - as it is a rental, I don't have to put up with it.

I have never felt truly settled in Scotland, despite being here for 15 years.

I don't know what is going to happen. He is looking around for a new job.

Again, I would feel so much happier living alone than with depressing people. It is hard work running a house and living with people who aren't pulling their weight (not necessarily with the chores).

His sister has a partner and as far as we was aware she was going to her mums for chritmas dinner so my ex and his dad was coming to mine for christmas dinner since then his sister has changed her mind and decided she wants to do a christmas dinner herself. I was invited but obviously i wanted to spend christmas with my family they mean alot to me. Ive decided to leave him alone for a few days and let him miss me, i cant eat or sleep i just keep throwing up all the time (atleast i wont be getting fat) like he said the other week that i could do with losing a few pounds. i still have his picture in my purse should i rip it up? i just feel so alone and empty right now. ive even bought a private plate for my new car but thats not cheered me up

Hugs and love to everyone that needs it today i know i do

A classic can't live with or without them scenario.

Once you are over the initial missing him, a great weight goes off your mind.

I'm not aware of the full situation but men do need a shake up now and again.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. It sounds rough that people you trusted hurt you so much.

It is good you can immerse yourself in your studies/work.

I must stress - the horrible things that happened to you are NOT YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!

Getting drunk and taking drugs was a way to cope and the b'stards took advantage of you when you were down.

All I can offer is a big hug and reassurance that you are not to blame.

Miro, sorry hear about the toothache - hope it gets sorted before Christmas

Well, if she had something else planned already, then it's out of order that he changed his plans after agreeing to spend it with you.

Don't contact him and ignore any texts/phone calls and make him come back to you and see what he does.

I'd hide the picture for now. If all things work out, then take the pic out of hiding. If they don't work out, when things get easier, take great pleasure defacing it!

Yes, younger people seem to get more opportunities, sometimes because it's cheaper to employ them! Saying that, alot of people want the more reliable mature adult. I hope at 31 I come under mature, even if my reliability can be questioned

It's tough living with people that bring you down. My flatmate brings me down alot, but then when she's not around, I sometimes miss someone to bounce off.

Let's hope 2008 is a great year

Yes, time is a healer for sure.

Not sure about the last line, women are just as bad as men :rotfl: Although today they both want different things, but all of those things seem to be the wrong things.

Very few of us left than are willing to fight for our relationships for the right reasons, sadly.

Well, i'm up as woke up in agony

Have to get to dentist tomorrow and not let them fob me off.

The painkillers i've been taken were okay but flatmate has given me some co-dodamol she no longer uses and it works really quick!

Britney is on TV right now to cheer me up. I adore her but her 2 fingers to the papparazzi in her new song.....funny as it is, she does not help herself Just gonna make them want a 'bigger piece' of her

Forgive me, i've been in love with her for so long She just cheers me up and we all need something to cheer us up

you can buy co-codamol over the counter from pharmacies, so if you need any more then do go and talk to them. it can be called "paracetamol and codeine" so you might have to ask for that

Also, do not try putting heat on it! I've read in a few places that it's really bad for abscesses and teeth problems, so don't do it.
