    Thanks Angel, tis such a strange place to be. Sometimes I wish I could turn back time but then things happen for a reason, right? I hate seeing him so upset, but I can't fix things for him (not that he would want me to cos I know he's strong enough himself). And of course, inside I'm still dealing with everything. All of this BR stuff has happened so fast, and it's looming so large, whilst the other relationship stuff has been going on for so long. Yeah sometimes I think if we can get through this BR stuff maybe we'll stand a chance, but then I have to remind myself that going through this doesn't necessarily change the other things that are wrong between us. Makes me feel so bleak, but deep down there's this core of me that says I have to do what's right for me and my girls, but also for him. All it would take is one mega row and all of this stuff is bound to get dragged up again - we don't want to end up hating each other.

    Argh, my head is all over the place :confused:

    I'm sure it will all 'come out in the wash'. You've struck me as a strong couple with good family values.

    Good luck

    Thanks BLTN. I think we have got very similar family values, just a different way of handling them. And when you face that basic incompatibility sometimes there is no way to be together. :(

    I've only told a handful of people.. mostly because I don't want people talking about it all the time..

    I am trying to keep it a secret from myself I think :)

    Can see what you mean. I guess I prefer people to have the facts before they make up the rest of it :rolleyes: The people I care about know me, the rest of them don't matter :rolleyes:

    Easier to tell strangers than family?!! :eek: :eek: My big thing about telling my sisters was (a) not wanting them to judge me, and (b) feeling that I had let the family down. Don't ask me why - it's not as though we're royalty or anything, with a reputation to uphold :confused:

    I dunno, I guess i'm quite a private person, and I wouldn't like someone else knowing that would make judgements on what I might spend my money on.. My dad is a bit judgemental and would just tut and say all the things I shouldn't have done etc etc.. Yeah, thanks dad.. ;)

    So, not that many people know really.. I will prob tell them one day, but otherwise they don't need to know..

    Reet, I'm off the bed.. :)

    Night Buddys!
