Isn’t that kind of ‘hobby’ quite expensive? Curious my **** if you’ll forgive my french. He’s a grown man and knows how it works 😬 I believe there’s quite a lot of exploitation involved in that business (from my limited knowledge gained from m*msnet).

Sending (((hugs))) and wishing you the strength to fight for what you deserve. XXXXI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy1 -
Sorry you're going through such a hard time Missy. Sending virtual hugs and positive vibes x1

Thank you so much for all of your kindness and messages and most of all support, the fact that you have all gone out of your way to give me your time and kind thoughts has really touched me. I very much keep my life private in the real world hence why I’ve felt so worried about sharing things on here.OH and I have spent the last 5 days working through things and talking, and let’s face it arguing but I feel a lot better about everything. We are going to continue to work through everything with a lot of changes being made on his part. Nothing is ever perfect but I feel in control of this.I’ve loved the help I’ve got on my diary over the years, and really don’t want it to stop so I think what I’ll do is start a new diary, as a new start. When I’ve started it I will post a link. Thanks again for being there xx6
