    That's interesting to hear Pepe. Maybe I should get some chickens in the garden, wonder what the landlady would say.. :rotfl:

    'What the **** are those ****ing chickens doing in my ****ing garden?!?' maybe?

    Hmm...I seem to have missed a big chunk of this story. All I remember seeing is:
    • You argued about your different attitudes to money.
    • He showed you no respect.
    • You split up.
    • He harrassed you.
    • You tried someone else and was unimpressed.
    • He harrassed you some more and made you really upset.

    Then...
    • He backed off a few days.
    • You missed him.
    • You're back together and getting married.

    I seem to have missed the bit in the middle where he lost his desire to punish others when things don't go his way, and where you two agreed to work together and have plans in place to sort out your financial and other problems.

    Well Z, maybe I didn't want to put every single detail of my private conversations and feelings on here. I will admit I've used here to rant about the negatives more than mention the positives, because it's been a difficult time and I've needed the support of friends. Sorry but life isn't always straightforward and logical. But for once in mine, after lots of thought and lots of talking I've realised that someone actually is on the same wavelength as me... and shock, horror, I am actually happy and looking forward to the future.
