So sorry I haven't read fred at all but just wanted to let you all know that I think it is on the cards that me and J are going to split up. Had a horrific weekend; I told him I don't think we should be together any more and all very upsetting. He pointed to the kids and said we have 2 very good reasons why we should be and working through our difficulties but to be honest I've done absolutely all I can - he simply can't or won't change. Been on the phone to my parents who have been so supportive and I think probably at some point I'm going to end up taking my children and kids down to Cornwall and living with them until I can get a little house. Very very upset, loads of tears and I go from being strong to falling apart.

Thank you Pigpen
Still can't copy paste from the list but managed to colour it blue so can see it separate from my posting. Looked at user settings but coudn't see anything that could help. Still feeling dumb.

Very disturbed sleep so sitting here in dressing gown with second cup of coffee and nothing done. Away from Thurs so want to get at least some things sorted. Fridge was done Saturday before shop unloaded so I can cross that off. Nothing eaten, know I should or I'll feel so much worse later.

So sorry to hear this, but you have done all you can and you need to do what is best for yourself and your children. It's all very well him pointing at the children as a reason to stay together, but you have a value too! I had divorced parents (when I was 5) and have not turned into a delinquent or wreck. So glad you have family who will support you at this time. Lots of hugs from all of us.

Hi all,

Been a bit awol, been busy this weekend with painting and stuff. This house will move on!

mumof2, large hugs, you have worked hard at this. What's right for you is right for your children. They will be affected if you are miserable.

Big logs being chucked for Gilly, Katie and anyone else that needs to be rid of a BD.

dizzy hope your OH is OK. Coping vibes to you, at some point it will start getting better, honest.

frizzle , keep delegating, and tell potential visitors to not bother coming if you like!

bongle, sorry about your cat x

Hugs to all that need it.

Clear out fridge and clean it

Clean oven.

Mumof2.. at least if that does happen you can say you tried.. you cannot stay together for the children and if those are the only 2 reasons he can think of then it is probably the right decision.. what about you? Does he not want to stay with you because he loves you?? sending you a poke in the eye for him xx

He says he loves me and that he'll never leave me - he's always said that. Thing is I think we're too far apart on too many things and our differences are really showing up since he's been away working; that's when I realised that I am actually a strong person and can cope with things.

Mumof2, so sad for you, what a hard time for you. Go easy on yourself, if you need a good cry then why not. Take care.

So sorry you are going through this, my heart goes out to you.

Mumof2 so sorry, thinking of you.

Dizzyimp hope your Dh is going to be alright.

Just back in from work, fed Dh and he's gone back to work so going to try and get on with some stuff off the lists now.

Hugs and sticks where needed.
