    Calley - I know what you mean with the feeling a bit put out by the Facebook thing. One of my exes always said he didn't want to settle down, get married or have kids. Then he started ghosting me, and I got the message and moved on. Next thing I know, he's moved in with someone and they subsequently got married and had a kid. And he'll post on fb about how she's too good for him and I think 'hang on, what on earth is wrong with me that I clearly wasn't as good as her?' Then I remember that Mr CP is better than him anyway. :rotfl:

    Thanks for getting me. Its hard to explain.

    I did not go hunting for lego man. its freaky as FB told me I might know him and a couple of other blokes that I chatted to and had one off dates with from pof!!!!

    Yes I know action man is a million times better than on/off and lego man. And has proved it in with what he says and does.

    Yours

    At least a couple of times a year I'll look up my ex husband on FB, look at his lovely wife and son and wonder what on earth was wrong with me and why it didn't work out. Then I remember what an idiot he was and how terrifying his mother was and it's all ok again :rotfl:. I think it's human nature to look when you know the info's there.

    Have fun hbs. Ooh, speaking of Harry Potter, my Android using friends, did you know you can use Harry Potter spells to turn on your torch and put your phone on silent? You need to have your microphone on, do the whole 'Ok Google' thing then 'Lumos' to put the torch on, 'nox' to switch it off, and 'silencio' to put the phone on silent.

    I totally get it calley, I think it's a normal thing to think. I've been known to 'facebook stalk' my exes to see who they ended up with and if they traded down :rotfl:. Tea, I have to confess, on one occasion, I saw an exes baby and thought 'I'd have made a much better baby than that!' :rotfl:

    Lovely post WaS.

    And I will have another Butterbeer for the souvenir tankard haha!

    I'm posting 4 barely worn shoes and trainers to family, gave away 6 pairs of shoes to charity and I've booked an ad in the local evening paper for the nicest pair of DMs.

    I now know why the ads make almost no sense - they aren't booked by the word. The first three lines are free, then it's £1 per line after that, regardless of how many words are on the fourth line.

    It took about three goes before the ad was free!

    A Happy WaSmas to you all.
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    One thing........is he still with you? It doesn't sound like you've asked him to leave.

    Thing is, I suppose you have a choice:

    You can keep him with you, knowing that incidents like the August lady will just keep on happening, while hoping that the 'honeymoon period' times will help to make up for it all. That means, though, that you will be on a constant rollercoaster of emotions, happy as Larry sometimes, devastated and despondent at other times, hoping that the happy times will outnumber the despondent times. Past history might give you a clue as to which might predominate.

    Or......
    You can ask him to leave. Permanently. And that includes the stuff in the garage. Then, back to the being alone, back to feeling that it's all too late, the waste of all those years invested in him, etc. etc.
    On the other hand, the chance to have a future with someone else who doesn't play fast and loose with you.


    It's a bit of a rock and a hard place. One of those options has a future, but only you can decide which one. :A








    Happy WaSmas! I like that! :rotfl:

    Yes, I think I'll say it's WaSmastime plus Solstice plus Yule plus green Father Christmas, and revel in the early dark nights which mean that
    I can legitimately snuggle down in bed at 4pm. :D

    He was never back living at mine (although I do have a car that isn't mine in the garage now). I haven't seen him since Saturday afternoon. I confronted him on the phone yesterday and shouted for a bit. Had a couple of messages last night which I ignored, haven't heard anything today. I think he's got the message.
