Not just tim tams and smarties unfortunately, also various beers, red and white wine, sparkling wine and a range of spirits too. A full range, way too expensive for me to ditch and have to pay for it all. They have my credit card details!
But I just ate a big heap of disgusting sugary stuff, both food and drinks. Icecream especially seems to help. God only knows how I’m going to fit dinner on top now. But hopefully I’ll be way too full to even consider drinking...

But yes, I should tip out the port

There pretty much a p-p-pick up a Penguin Mags!

Snuf, sorry drama has landed on your doorstep again but do what is right for you. I know I’d be pretty miffed if I was in your shoes to and it would eat away at me. You’ve come so far and recovery always comes first for us, others may not like that fact and say it is selfish but it’s not. Hope you keep strong and keep close, we’re always here for you Snuf xx

All ok at my end, not much to report. x

Morning Weekenders!

Thank you for all your thoughts guys, I really appreciate your help!

I woke up feeling somewhat better. I can't deny this situation may change a lot in his life, however it doesn't have to fundamentally change our relationship together, as long as we both communicate.

I hope you gain some clarity.
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I'm annoyed or something! I think you are absolutely right. I just need some time to process all this stuff.


Anyway.. I'm going to try to relax this weekend. I recently discovered that I love ice skating. A little late in the season , but it's a lot of fun.

I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better today Snuf

I’m so full from all the sweet treats and dinner that I don’t even feel like a drink anymore.
I think it was the shock/surprise when I arrived that I wasn’t prepared for.
Just reinforces that I need to have a plan for unexpected situations.
Like coming to SR.
Thanks everyone xxxxx

Snufkin - I have 3 step kids and if my partner kept me in the dark about any of them and I found out later on, then I can say I myself would have serious trust issues.. I don't know the full reasons why he hasn't told you but I would be very unhappy.
As for the fact that he has a kid and it may be a drama in your life its kinda tough these days especially as you get older not to have kids come into the picture from partners ex relationships..
I suggest just sit with it for a bit and find out if there's anymore to the story and then when you have a calmer mind maybe make a decision then..
Tough situation.. My step kids ended up being 7 days a week full time with us, very hard to deal with at times, especially since I didn't want kids..

Hello darling. s

Red and I have talked about this a little...I have 2 step-sons, and without going into big details, it is a total nightmare. They are horrible monsters and it has been majorly distressing for me. I have had to step back, and just let it be what it will be now. As I have been told by friends here, they are at the age(s) where they are hostile and it might change down the track.

Only saying this because things don't always work out the way we plan, and we can adjust I think.

But Snuf honey ~ I have an issue with him not telling you he has a child. I would need to resolve that before I decided if I wanted to stay with him or not. s ❤️❤️

Yes.....he went to his parents, his mother has vascular dementia and he is there for four days to help out and see if we can convince his dad to get round the clock carers....he won't put her in a memory facility because he promised her years ago.

I have had a huge amount of stress this week and it comes out down the left side of my body, so now that my jaw and stuff is improving, my neck went out. Oy.....it will be alright.

Hope you have a good sleep.
Yot too Willow. s
