Re: Living in Zimbabwe
at a guess the budgie in front was definitely flapping his wings ....mate, they were 1066's budgies ...for all we know someone may have grabbed the whole lot and eaten them...

Re: Living in Zimbabwe
look i'm not starting an argument, my head cleary isnt in a good place right now, i have, sorry, had been with my partner for 3 years so it is a bit of a shock and i'm rather raw. i'm sorry to hear that and i sympathise that you've ever had to go through that, i would have thought that it would make you more sympathetic to my situation however.
i cant understand the temperament of people who think people come on to forums and just make this stuff up! i do actually have a life and better things to do with my life than make this crap up.
please understand that from my prespetive you we're belittling my situation and calling me a liar. not something i take lightly

Lastly, the way this thread headed off made this appear as yet another set up. Seen quite a few of them over time.

Re: Living in Zimbabwe
Arikara,there are some strange people around, hence the name trolls, the one i saw cause the most mayhem was on an IVF Board where for obvious reasons the posters are engaged in an incredibly emotive subject and support each other a lot.
Been trying to remember the posters name came on, posted all the way through the pre and then harvest, the fertilisation,implantation and as happens on these boards,the support in the sisterhood was immense, every day there was a new drama,lots of advice, prayer groups etc the whole thing lasted for 4 months on a daily basis, then she miscarried and lost both embroyo who had had heartbeat.
Suicidal posts and someone really cared, managed to convince the boards to hand over the email address to a lifeline organisation who managed through the ISP to track her down before she committed suicide.
It was all a sham. the woman had 3 kids, umpteen failed marriages, she lived out this vicarious lie over a 6 month period to feel important.To feel wanted and liked, to have friends.
she was lying all the way through.
The people on that thread who were fragile already were gutted.
Am I cynical and suspicious? you bet, until I'm proved wrong

Seriously though, I think the bigger danger of the two is Cynicism.

I'm also very aware of such instances and bear it in mind every day I look on here, but the above (and not aimed specifically at you) is why most new posters that come on this forum don't stay very long

Re: Living in Zimbabwe
You make such huge assumptions Arikara. I know first hand what it is like to be cheated on. This person I was with for 4 years, married him too and had a child. Found out the bastard was cheating, so divorced him, got full custody of our son and left the country. Started my life all over again. How's that for a challenge? Learned that I did not in fact know this person as I had assumed. So there, raise you one. 
But those 15 years also produced three lovely children and gave me the wonderful experience of life in Angola, travel across the region and many, many friends of all backgrounds. Even now, I still feel more at home in southern Africa (especially Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe) than most anywhere else in the world (even the Gower which was my birthplace).

Re: Living in Zimbabwe
so many bent women, so little time...
I empathise... 15 years of mind games, mental cruelty, deception and finally infidelity ended up costing me £120k for a clean-break divorce.

Re: Living in Zimbabwe
Yer evil I tell ya.
The good news in all this newshoney is that I went on to remarry, and this man is wonderful. Boy, did I ever bring my baggage with me into this marriage in the early years. I must have had some appeal as the divine lad is still here.
Southern Africa most certainly left her imprint on me, and there are things I will always miss. Still glad I am where I am now though.
