    thanks, wecanhelpyou and ceridwen. I do understand and appreciate what you have said... that has also crossed my mind.

    And yes, Spikey, we discussed all relevant things like 'house rules' (although we didnt actually use that word). The only things that really needed addressing were the cleaning issues and the w. machine, both of which have been discussed. Oh and her moods. Also discussed. Her music, I can live with. Yes, it is loud, just before bed, but it tends to only be one song or so. I can live with that.

    I'll never understand women as long as I live. One minute they're rolling around on the floor, hissing and stratching each other like cats, pulling lumps of hair out and the next they're crying and hugging and saying how much they love each other.

    All I can say is that I think you have made a mistake. You'll be back at Post #1 in about a month. You mark my words!

    lol. well, we'll see..... havent quite managed the kissing and hugging stage yet. But then again, I opted out of the hissing like cats thing too. Very undignified! :)

    One good thing is, that I didnt mention on here, is that I am hopefully selling up (meeting with mortgage co. on Monday pm) and moving, which she is fine about, so we'll probably go our separate ways in about 2 months time anyway! :)

    I tend to agree that you will be back at post #1 soon. People don't change their character traits overnight.

    Unless you have already sold your house, you have no chance of moving in 2 months time.
    Well life is harsh, hug me don't reject me.
