    thanks for the kind thoughts peeps. Why couldn't he have just gone and got a damned motorbike?! Isn't that what they usually do in this situation? I'm absolutely not considering doing it to please him - I get on okay with other peoples kids but I do genuinely feel nothing for em, as nice as they are. It's just something i lack and always have. I guess i have to just wait for him to decide which is more important - being with me, or leaving and hoping he finds someone he'd want to have kids with.

    anyway, on a separate note, I got the vinegar tablets wendy - how many a day? It says 'between 2 and 6' on the bottle which is a hell of a variation in dosage. Wonder if they will have me running to the loo - I drink 1.5 l of water a day ( good or bad, it seems about right) so it will be interesting to see. Off to comfort myself with a big bowl of nigella's rapid ragu. I've stayed out of the biscuit tin so far which is quite anachievement actually.

    Kpc - that's a tough one. 1st of all you are not awful, and neither is your OH: you have always been upfront on this issue, and I think the kids thing, as someone else has mentions can kick in entirely unexpectedly as it has done for your OH. I feel you you both, but as others have said,you can't have kids to please someone else - from everything I have heard and seen, children are hard work (along with many unimaginable rewards) and do put a strain on relationships - I have seen that in my own family including my parents, although them and both siblings whethered the ups and downs. One bro & sis- law never appeared to enjoy their children at all - it was one long 20yr slog. The others did, but slightly different approaches between the couple resulted in periods of tension (all now resolved now kids are 20+ and their family life is great).
    A good friend of mine always 'knew' from a young agaeshe didn't wnt kids (is now 47) and she is a warm, loving person and a fabulous teacher anda great auntie.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    Hi everyone.

    Have not posted much this week as Ive been really busy.

    Im doing my Level 2 EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) course so if I want I can be a practioner. Its quite intensive but very interesting. Im doing some work on my chocolate fixation and it seems to have gone. Something I really neeed to work on considering my appalling chocolate Easter.

    Im sending hugs to all those who need them. Will prob get on a bit more this week.

    kpc mine only say 2 a day but will admit to taking a sneaky 3 but its not like drugs is it , its only vinegar for goodness sake. If I was you I'd try 3 one at each meal time and increase it if its not working .Aiso for any of you like pimns try diet lemonade with a splash of balsamic vinegar float cucumber and orange and lemon slices on it and you have a non alcaholic refreshing drink with no calories great for bbqs and even fooled a couple of friends who thought it was the real thing
