I will make them wizz, dear StrongFoundation <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

This lady friend has been friends with H for 20 years and he has always been there for her when she needed him. That's why they were friends. But she was very disappointed in my H after what I told her, and now realised he isn't the "nice guy" he always tried to look like. She thought he treated me very badly and resented him for it. It's up to her what she'll do. Like me, she's too friendly and puts up with a lot from the people she cares for, but it also bothers her that my STBXRWH doesn't respect her H, though, and since she loves her H very much, I think their relationship might at best remain "polite".

Hello StrongFoundation,

Haha I can just imagine you zooming around on the patio!
Cloudy and finally not so hot here... wonderful !
The electricity is being put in today and that's a huge step ahead. Some more flooring & painting to do & I'm moving!!

Yes this friend and myself, we're both CA's. But even then someone can cross "our line".

Hey Bob

ever tried to get a photo from a Nanna???? Anyone would think I asked for blood!! LOL

Good to see you working ok and Squid doing well. Think I'd raher have your bad day though then mine as well to be frank.

AW is pretty worried that I'll have a busy day at the office, but I told her the odds are real good nothing like that will happen.

Been busy with signing my boys in and limping around like as my NCO's point out ..look out here comes bloody Long John Sliver again ... heh heh [censored]!!

Well trying my heart out mate to be ready to go with them but I'm not holding out any great hope ...everything is either patched or plugged but stamina is WAY under whats required. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Reviving this thread from page 12 <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> !!

Example of conversation with foggy person.
Not love-fog but self-justification fog.
I'll use "X" instead of "STBXRWH".

Update: H is dating 2-3 women at this moment, one is already an ex-GF. I agreed the ex-GF would come over for a BBQ when I was away so our dog would have a babysit (rather than H going to visit this ex-GF and the dog being home alone). I thought she was "ex" but when I came home they weren't sitting outside at the BBQ but sitting on the couch. When the supposedly ex-GF snuggled up to H in a way that made me very uneasy. I took the dog for walk, slamming the door behind me. The ex-GF realised she had pushed things too far and left. H apologised when I got back, saying he "threw ex-GF out" and that "she shouldn't behave like that".

Me: "Well you might think she's such a nice person.. but she didn't mind being with someone else's H for 14 years.. so obviously she's not very sensitive to the feelings of the BW, or to my feelings in this case."
H: ** lost for an answer **
Me: "I told you before it's not easy for me that you're dating like that now. You said that you understand that it must be difficult for me - but you keep on doing it."
X: "But what was I supposed to do? Remain single and sit here at home with you?"
Me: "Would it have killed you to wait 2-3 more months? And don't you have any other things to do besides chase women?"
X: "Of course there are other things to do.. but it's not like I'm chasing women.. I can't help it if they want to have sex with me... Besides, those women that I have met.. they take advantage of me.." (I would have laughed at this point if I hadn't been so angry.)
Me: "Well, perhaps they do, but you're sure taking advantage of them too!"
X: Ex-GF wants sex.. I can't help it if she does, can I?

** BH fails to picture petite, frail ex-GF forcing H to have sex with her **

X: "Do you still want to be my friend?"
Me: "I don't think so. You haven't been treating me the way I think one should treat a friend."
X: "But I often phone you to ask if you need something from the shop, and I bbq for you."
Me: "Yes that's true. I'm not saying you're a completely bad person. But you are doing things that are hurtful and disrespectful to me, like starting to date women one week after I told you I wanted to end our M and while I'm still living here with you."
X: "But it was your choice to leave. You can stay here if you want. I still love you and still want you to be with me."
Me: "I don't have much of a choice. You told me you would never have sex with another woman again, and I believed you, and then you kept on chatting with women on the internet even when I told you I didn't want you to, and you went to P's again."
X: "But that's all in the past now!"
Me: "Sorry, I can't believe that anymore."

** BH sighs and walks away from fog**

Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

OK here, thank you.

Some areas have been evacuated - precautionary measures only so far...

'bombs' were rail detonator apparently. No injuries.

'nuisances' I'll wager

We're watching it live from Sat helo Alphin ..it appears that if they are no some cruel hoax bomb that the detonators went off but not the main bomb.... thank God for that.

Luckily no-one got injured. Copy cats perhaps?

My husband was 2 mins behind the train going to Warren Street. He called me when he was evacuated as he didn't understand what was going on. The news hadn't reached the internet or TV at that point. He eventually walked back to his office.

He's now setting off to walk to Waterloo as the tube is still shut and camera crews have set up outside his office building with a helicopter above. Not sure what's going on there as his office wasn't directly in any of the areas.

Thankfully no-one is hurt....but I will be very glad to see him walk through the door tonight.

I can't think of it as endearing, dear Alph, there's nothing endearing about behavior that wrecks M's. It might be different if he was my younger brother and all parties concerned would be single... But H went after my BF, even though she was M'd and even though the four of us were friends. He also tried to involve another M'd friend of his in his games. It's not endearing. It's stupid, unresponsible, immature and most of all, selfish.

He does have a way of presenting him as the "poor victim", and his boyish nature was the very thing that attracted OW. I don't find it attractive in an 37-year old that he's behaving like a spoiled 14-year old.

Oh well... not my problem for very much longer.. The house is coming along nicely but more slowly than I had hoped.. Hoping to move out in two weeks max. !
