DISQUS

George · 1 year ago

Hi Elaine ... I thought that I had things rough sometimes. I, when a separation was involved, didn't let thing rest to see what was best. I left with no regrets, knowing it was for the best.BR/BR/Cheer up mum ... life begins just around the next corner.BR/BR/LoveBR/xoxox

Aww Laney, I am so very sorry things didn't work out for you two, I suppose the only consolation is you have been through worse.BR/BR/Onwards and upwards and you know where I am....massive big (((hugs))) xx

Akelamalu · 1 year ago

You know Laney it just doesn't sound/feel right you and Rob splitting up. :(BR/BR/BR/Anyway I'm sure you'll do just fine once you set your mind to it. x

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. Came as a bit of a shock. As you know, I am in this same dilemma- should I, shouldn't I? So I empathise with you. It is probably best if you stay in the house until you are ready to move on and have the time to inspect other places without time pressure. Even if it means inheriting the donging clock. Perhaps you could pack it up and donate it to Rob?! Do hope you manage all right tonight on your own. It sounds as if your split was amicable.

Hi Elaine, was upset to read about your separation. Very sad but the prospect of a new start....BR/i remember being very happy in my first bed-sit too.BR/BR/On an objective note, it seems very hard to separate these days. What with the price of rents and everythingBR/BR/my heart is with you xxxx

I'm so sorry Elaine. 'Home is where ever the heart is' as they say and whether you stayed in your present abode or whether you moved on to pastures new I'm sure you would stamp your own little piece of utopia on it :-)BR/Yeppers, things will feel a little empty and a little lonely for a while but just think that you can throw a ball of the walls, drop a plate, scream at the top of your lungs or just simply jump up and down on the creakiest step on your stairs and there'll be no one to complain about it. See I've found an upside to all of this already. Hehehehe ;-)BR/BR/p.s. bring back those heavy bulky portable tape recorders! Ahh memories of our youth ...

Lots of goodbyes lately in blogland. Lots of data bases wiped out and blogs going private.

Well Elaine, now we are both in the same situation, living on our own without our husbands and our kids. What are you going to do about it? Go on, get on with your life. Find yourself a nice job and live your life and don't live in the past. From now on only tomorrow counts. You can't sit around crying and feeling sorry for yourself, you've just got to pick yourself up and get on with it. BR/BR/Yes, I know I'm harsh, but that's the way it works. The other stuff doesn't work. Neither Rob nor Dan are going to come and pick up the pieces, you're on your own now. You've got to be a tough broad.BR/BR/But you know that I care about what happens to you very much and that I would do anything for you if I could help you, so you go ahead and spill everything you meed to spill right here on this blog. As long as it is constructive.

I am sorry that it has come to this for you. After the last time I am glad you stayed in the house we wouldn't want you to go through everything you went through last time all over again.

"Once again, I’m wondering why two people who love each other can’t make it work. "BR/BR/As you know, I'm with you on that one. It's just a horrible situation, when you can get along with someone well enough to have a laugh and relate to them, but ultimately something on the relationship side just doesn't fit. You know you can put up with it, but for a better life in the long run you have to find someone who ticks both boxes. I'm sorry it hasn't worked with you and Rob.

Queenie · 1 year ago

Sorry darling I really don't know what to say, but like always I can't keep my mouth shut. At this moment I feel sadness for you, I hate to think of you on your own, and wish I could give you a hug and tell you everything will be OK. I can't give you a physical hug, yet believe me you will be OK. Your strong determined and have the courage of a lioness, look forward...

G-Man · 1 year ago

Elaine, I wish I had your courage.BR/I'm so sorry if you are lonely. But it now seems that you are FREE!!!

Oh elaine life can be so bloody difficult sometimes, can't it? But it sounds like it's the right decision. It seemed as if things havent been right for a while. So you've taken the big step - the rest will happen. Hugs and thoughts, FPxxx

You offer such good advice to many of the blogs you follow and especially RN's. I'm hoping you find a happy full space very soon. I'd come and stay if you'd have me. But unfortunately I'm a bit far away.BR/Take CareBR/Mark x

Elaine · 1 year ago

I just want to thank you ALL for your comments, your advice and your support. Really, I don't know what I'd do without this place to vent, and without you guys to make me feel better.BR/BR/Thank you so much. xxxx

*hugs*BR/BR/I just want you to know that way across that big ol' ocean, someone admires you....BR/BR/I think you are amazing and have more strength than you realize.

East Anglian Troy · 1 year ago

It's good to be decisive. As one door closes another always opens.BR/BR/Sounds like you'll miss the big donger but I guess you'll sleep better without it all night.

Karl · 1 year ago

Good Afternoon Laney,BR/BR/Hope your doing well with your new situation. Taking the flat seems like a fine gesture on Rob's part.

Elaine · 1 year ago

I broke a twenty-six year habit back in March. At first it felt like the end of the world (it was) but now life is good, very good.BR/Once you get through the grieving process you realise that you should only be with someone who makes you happy (and vice versa).BR/I'm next door in Cornwall - lets do coffee!

You will get through this tough time, Elaine. Take care of yourself and remember to live.BR/BR/CJ xx

Laney, since I have had the pleasure of knowing you, you seem on the verge, so ready and ripe for a large vat of goodness just around the corner. It will happen, to such a gifted and wonderful woman.BR/BR/KJ is often right but this time she is wrong. Across that big ol' ocean, there are LOTS of people who admire you.
