    Hi Friend

    Thanks for your opinions.
    Friend, my relationship is not "screwed up." However, if it makes you feel happy, so be it.

    I'm having some chocolates as I try to watch the film 'London is Falling.'

    Still undecided re dinner and Mrs BB is preferring something from her motherland

    Enjoy your afternoon friend

    :):):)

    ps - I used to watch the odd live match at twikenham and played it too, but too old for it now,

    It doesn't make me happy. I honestly don't care about your relationship. Obviously nor do you if you check her phone behind her back.

    Glad you got your tax return done so quickly, friend. Clearly not much to put on it

    Oh and Twickenham has got a "c" in it

    :):)

    What would your wife's reaction be if she found out that you were checking on her by looking at her phone behind her back. Whether or not you think your wife would cheat is not the issue

    Very frankly, if I discovered that my OH had been checking my phone, I wouldn't be angry or even offended, I would be concerned that he felt suspicious enough to do so and my intention would be to reassure him.

    Saying that, my OH (or me) are not of a paranoid nature. Either of us would only ever check if something happened that brought on doubt, ie. if OH said that he was away to a work conference miles away in the country but then running into one of his colleagues whilst shopping would wish me and OH a fun few days away abroad.

    There was one incident when I first moved in with him which was relating to a financial matter. There was an inconsistency in something he had said to me, and when I checked bank statement, something look very wrong. By the time he came home, I had convinced myself that he had been taking me for a full. When I confronted him, he did question why I'd gone through his bank statements in the first place, but ultimately, he felt really bad for me because indeed, it did look at odds, but he right away made a point of proving to me it wasn't what it looked like. Indeed, it wasn't (Thank God!).

    I never once looked at his bank statements since because I have never felt the need to do so.

    Hi Friend

    Clearly you do care and if you did not, you would have not said that about my reltioship.

    About the spelling mistake, yes it is a very, very big deal and I have slapped myself on the wrist a 100 times :)

    About my on-line tax returns - we live a simple life, pay 40% taxes rent out a property and have done so for years, the on-line tax acount has been set up for years, I work at the same place as previous year, our saving years tax retuns clearly detail the interest we recd, do not own any shares have some PB, cost on rental propert stand 10%, got to hand the p60, so it was a 10 minute job, who the hell needs an over rated accountact - LOL

    I hope you the spellings and grammer are to you liking!!

    Best wishes

    And, seriously, I agree in general that cheating is wrong.

    But, as others have indicated, I can think of (and know of) situations where I can completely understand why what happened, happened. A good friend of mine was a permanent carer for his very ill wife. It was a long term issue and was 24/7. Every now and then he got someone in to look after her so he could get a break. On one of these days off he met someone - over the months they got to like each other a lot - nothing, physical, happened but I know how guilty he felt

    It was so good for him and it made him better equipped to support his wife

    In terms of what my partner thinks I know because we have talked about it and - being the straight talking direct woman she is - I know she is telling me like it is. She doesn't believe in meeting trouble half way. She thinks if you spend your time looking for something then you'll find it but you may well have a skewed view of what it is you find

    We trust each other. It would, genuinely, do her head in if she somehow felt the need to check my phone etc. She wouldn't be enjoying the relationship because of the angst that would cause her

    And I totally agree

    There is no such film as 'London is Falling'.

    However, there is a film called 'London has Fallen'.
    I had my doubts but last Monday we watched ' London Has Fallen.' - 8/10
    ^^^^
    A film so good (although rated 8/10 :cool:) that the OP is re-watching it within a week - posted 13-01-2017, 11:59 PM

    Can one really believe what the OP is posting?

    Nope, certainly not when he edits out info when picked up on it.
