'interesting party' .... do tell !!

The guy the other week was the kinda 'Jock' type, all that was missing was a letterman jacket. Physically stunning, but a bit shallow otherwise.

Going out with the girls again this Saturday - it used to be once every two months, then once a month, now it's only been two weeks ! It used to be harder to co-ordinate a night when we were all child free.

Ahhh, yes - the AO party. He he he!

Hey Barbie, there was an article in yesterdays Herald Sun regarding the effect that parents constantly re partnering can have on the children and how its best to work on building a relationship before introducing the kids etc. Want me to cut it out so you can send it to your GF??
Whoa Nelly, she seems to be going a bit fast doesn't she??

Lulu, sounds like DD"s stupid dad should read that.
He's moved in with his new GF, one DD had never met and she has a 3 year old daughter.
He honestly thinks im going to let DD go and stay with him, his strange GF, in a strange house, with a feral (and i say that cause i met her) 3 year old who hits, pinches, scratches and pushes her mother while her mother says nothing.

Why can't he do things the normal way and let DD get to know them before moving in together ??
Idiot.

Dee, your ex sounds like a right boofhead!

Reading this thread, I'm glad that exP lives on the other side of the country, hopefully it'll stay that way!

I just had a big emo about leaving him, having had the realization the person I fell in love with isn't the person he is now. I actually feel better now, having sorted things out in my head and had a good cry (though i'm not so sure i'm finished yet!) It honestly feels like I'm mourning the death of the person he used to be, rather than grieving the end of the relationship. Which is better, I think. I couldn't have gotten away from this ******* fast enough but I still care deeply about who he USED to be. That's totally good with me because it means I have no temptation whatsoever to give into his manipulative attempts to guilt me into getting back together with him.
