      @coastalpath I’m really sorry you are struggling. If you can, try and carve a few minutes out of each day to look after yourself, whether its some deep breathing/meditation, exercise, a solitary cup of coffee. It is also important that you acknowledge your stress and feelings, don’t squash them away because others think you should. Everything you think and feel is valid to you.

      I’m going to check out the fitbit thread in a moment. I’m having a bit of a sucky morning at work.

      Totally randomly, as I drove back from Devon last night, I planned what I might have for my wedding reception. Partly inspired by this thread and partly by a comedienne that was on radio 4 (don’t judge) yesterday. Bear in mind my relationship structure means I will never get married, but still, I planned it…

      So I’d have an afternoon tea, catered by my favourite Torquay café, with made to order sandwiches (guests choose from a small list of fillings); bread is home made white or granary. A variety of home made scones, with cherry, or ginger, or white choc chips in. Lots of different fruit jams. And huge bowls of clotted cream. There may also be cinnamon toast. And lots of different cakes, like Victoria sponge, lemon drizzle, chocolate brownie. All served with either tea, coffee (from starbucks) or something sparkling, probably Prosecco or Asti (I’m actually a cherry lambrini kind of girl). Set to a background of string quartet music.

      And for evening meal I’d have a Chinese buffet, in the style of the Mongolian barbecue restaurant chain (do they have those in the states?) basically, you take your bowl, choose your meat/veg/noodles/cooking sauce, and they cook it on a flat top stove while you wait.

      It will be held in a marquee, on the cliff tops, near where I live (in Devon).

      I spent nearly 200 miles planning this. I have no idea what I’d be wearing, nor what the ceremony would be like.

      You and I should get married. I plan the ceremony and the dress. You plan the food.

      Although I want mine on the beach in East Hampton where my mom lives and to rent a house and just throw a big party as I have mentioned before. So we might need to be like Becky Bloomwood (confessions of a shopaholic for those who don't get the reference ) and have 2 weddings.

      lol :p It made my husband snicker, too, when he saw it. I'm happy to report that house-cleaning is under way, and the apartment almost looks like humans live in it now!

      ... Not that it was a pigsty or anything, but I have a tendency to do a ton of cleaning in one day (like today...) and the house sparkles, then I let it all go downhill for a week or so until there's another ton of cleaning to do. I need to learn to just maintain the shiny! :p

      This is why I have a cleaning service come once a month. Or nothing would ever get cleaned. Then it's insurmountable.

      At one of our local grocery stores they have a cow on the front of the milk display and the cow moos at you every time you walk by it. I hate that cow. I turned around the other day and said to it.
      " I know right!! But I am working on it so back off!!
      There were 2 elderly ladies standing they and I am sure they were ready to call someone to take me away!

      POF: you haven't seen the size of my pack! of course i'm going to look like a donkey carrying all that stuff!!

      Actually, i used donkey rather than a different word in deference to Susie

      Okay that reference makes more sense.

      And I have to thank Susie...I think I am finally cleaning up my language. I keep finding substitute words to use in here and it's translating into life.

      I do giggle everytime I type Oh My Gosh.

      seriously? yeah because trying to guilt me into letting you come over to my place is an AWESOME first date.

      then i get home and i have all these msg's from him saying he's leaving the dating website he found me on because he just can't handle how ppl are, and what was my problem that i couldn't trust him?!

      well duh, we live in the same area, of course that makes him trustworthy!

      sigh... :s

      Because he can't handle how dating website girls aren't easy lays?

      Since "snuggle" sounds like code for "go to your place and proceed to manipulate/coerce/guilt trip you into putting out", I'd say you dodged a bullet with that one. Ick.

      Guys, remember that London Dairy new ice cream flavor I mentioned? The Red Velvet Cheesecake one? IT IS TO DIE FOR. Seriously. It's SO good! It has swirls of ooey gooey red velvet caramel-textured stuff, chunks of a dense, chewy red velvet cake, and generously sized chunks of cheesecake. The ice cream itself has a cream cheese-like taste, similar to cream cheese frosting but not as sweet or rich. SO GOOD.

      The other two are okay. I'm just sad that the cheesecake one is finished because I shared it with my husband (he didn't like the other two). :p

      I'm not sure that anything Red Velvet Cheesecake-ish could ever be bad. Your description just raises it to a whole new level of sublime. :)

      This doesn't sound like a partnership to me, more like a dictatorship. This would not be OK with me. Hugs to you.

      Ditto. Many hugs

      @Coastalpath and @xLoveLikeWinterx I'm sorry you're both struggling right now- what you're feeling is perfectly acceptable as they're YOUR feelings, please don't let anyone try and tell you what you can and cannot feel. I totally understand the whole "it could be worse". Yes it could be but this is your reality and what you live in every day. I hope things pan out for both of you (((many hugs)))

      Adding hugs

      Ummmm definitely not my type.

      My oldest looks like Ed, except with Hazel eyes instead of Ed's. Same hair, freckles, etc.

      And thanks everyone for not ragging on me- whenever I try to say even a little bit of "I'd like a girl or a 3rd" IRL I get SLAMMED. Everyone bags on me, so I just keep it in. We live in a relatively affluent community and it's 1-2 kids MAX, full of soccer moms in SUVs, perfectly done makeup/hair, etc. Every once in a while it gets to me.

      And I agree I need to talk to DH- I'm just not sure I can do it this week. I'm a bit emotional anyway and I need time to process the events of last weekend or I will just cry and that does nothing to help. It needs to be rational and I need to say, "I would like to do x, y, z because it is what I need. If you have objections, let's talk through them." Right now I will cry and yell and no one wins.

      I also absolutely need counseling to reconcile my brain and heart with the kids that I have. I don't LIKE feeling like this and I sure don't want to feel this way for the rest of my life, but journaling/talking it out with myself only helps sometimes. When events happen like this past weekend, it throws me back into "crying in the shower" mode.

      I love Darius. I actually do like Colt Ford but not all his songs. And I don't like rap. I do like rap mixed in like Red Dirt Road. I love FGL and I have heard outshyne in Sirrus.

      Probably the only Colt Ford stuff I liked was when he did "Dirt Road Anthem" on Brantley Gilbert's "Halfway to Heaven" cd. Hubby has one of his CDs, but I've only listened to it once or twice lol.

      I am - I'm the office manager and financial controller (fancy title) for a smallish company. With a boss who loves excel spreadsheets and reports on almost every number imaginable.

      Haha. I'm in Project Controls for a huge company. I pretty much spend my life in Excel...lol.

      Yep! We have a husband and wife team that have been cleaning our house for over three years now. They come every third Wednesday! For us, it was totally worth it because my cleaning standards and my husbands cleaning standards are VERY different! He never wanted to clean and it felt like that was all I was doing on weekends. We sacrifice eating out as much, but we (almost) never argue about cleaning the house anymore.

      Well keep practicing with us. I get super emotional too when something really matters and that can be a form of manipulation for the other person too. They can position it as you are not rational and win that way. You need to get it together then when you meet with him stay calm and on point. You feelings are as valid as his. So are your needs. THAT is what makes a partnership.

      What if you have several things to discuss or more than one problem?

      One problem per appointment, if you have more than one problem, you book a double appointment (or more). This is just for the GP of course. If you were seeing a specific consultant, you'd get however long is the norm for that.
