    You obviously want to be a bit smarter about it than her. At least do a lot of googling to work out the correct dosages etc. ;)

    Of course I'd never actually advocate trying to kill him.*

    One thing I just realised, if your son's grown up and left home, how did the situation at home affect him? He can't not have noticed the tension/his dad being a !!!!!!.

    Did your husband mistreat your son, or just you?

    First thing you need to do it decide what'll happen. Are you in a position to kick him out? If not, where will you go?

    Deal with getting out of that situation first, then once you're ready, deal with getting a job and moving on.












    * If you do, I get half the insurance money because I suggested it, ok?

    Being males they bonded better and I looked the bad guy for showing my despair. Our son is getting on with his life and doesn't want to get involved which is fair enough. I don't blame him really.

    We are being evicted in a few weeks, so I have to find somewhere else.

    I can't stop crying tonight, I feel so miserable. He is being all nice now but I don't want someone who is capable of allowing me to get this low due to his neglect and distant behavour. I feel sick to be honest and stuck. I don't know where to start looking. The UK is such a nasty hellhole this week with this awful weather. I feel so parylised emotionally. I have put on weight due to comfort eating - food and alcohol (in moderation) are my only pleasures. So called friends have let me down, so I don't trust anyone and fed up with the same things going wrong in my relationship, things that a married women should not have to endure.
    An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T :o :rotfl: :rotfl: :p :eek::mad: :beer:
    I am no expert in property but have lived in many types of homes, in many locations and can only talk from experience.

    ive been thinking about this and she has started seeing a new fella recently and she's been with him about 2-3 weeks now and she's already started staying at his house with his parents with the baby now i think this is wrong its a bit too soon aint it?

    Stephb xx

    Different people move at different paces.

    My step dad was with another woman in weeks after my mum died and they were married for 19 years nearly.

    After my partner died, I didn't even consider another partner for 7 1/2 years and nothing has been as good.

    Different people move at different paces but I would say 2-3 weeks was a bit quick, especially if she doesn't really know these people and has a baby to look after.

    Maybe she just needs support

    The bathroom quandry has followed me around all my lifeshy-smiley-9438.gif But I've found these wonderful little tablets that I keep in my bag "just in case".....I get them from Superdrug, or Sainsbugs do them too, & you can chew on one if the motions become too frequent shall I say. They're excellent to carry cuz you don't need water--or a spoon--& once you know you've got them, it kinda takes the 'urge' away. It has got to be nerves cuz me muvva is like it & unfortunately 2 of my 3 offspring have 'inherited' the trait too. Can't do much about the fluid side tho, cuz the meds I'm on cause me to tiddle too often for my likingshy-smiley-17313.gif Not sure if I can tell you the name of the tabs here, but if you go to the bit that sells the indigestion remedies & look for stuff to stop you pooping, you'll see a few alternatives. HTH.

    I have a slightly different issue - I can't go toilet in public, even if I wanted too and am desperate

    I'm not 100% sure why, although I have a good idea to the abuse when I was a child.

    I just stand and wait.........and wait..........and wait......:o

    Sorry for sharing that, but it's frustrating as it means if I go out to eat or drink (soft) I have to go straight home after :o

    I also can't go if someone stands outside waiting for the loo or if i'm angry/frustrated.

    I'm a very odd boy :o

    I have tried to talk and all he can see his me attacking him - typical, I don't get any consideration and made to feel the bad guy - again:(. I have taken 26 years of feeling unloved by him and the more things that go wrong, the more I wonder why I am staying. I deserve more happiness than I get and got. I feel I will look back and wonder what I have got from life and see that I have stayed in my room to avoid my OH because I feel unloved and hurt by him. It sounds sick writing it. My son left home a year ago.

    26 years is a long time to feel unloved in a relationship!

    What are you still in the relationship for if he is mean? Do you still love him? Do you have anywhere to go if you took a break?

    I too feel morbid and yes hopefully Britney will get some decent treatment now

    I see no future (for me) I am so unloveable it's unreal.

    26 years for you is some going! It's not like you've not given it a good go.

    Hopefully your move will go okay and hopefully a fresh start

    The only treatment Britney needs is a real friend, of which she has none. Her little sister seems okay. She needs someone like me. I'm not saying me exactly, but someone who will truly care for her, but who is that? 99.9% will be out to use and abuse and take what they can, which makes me :( and :mad: as I think she's lovely :o
