Tomorrow we would have celebrated a whole year in New Zealand.
I was coming back from the Gym this morning in the pouring rain, thinking "it's great here". The I got home and Steve told me he was having an affair. After some talking, I said he had to leave.
That's it - my dreams, my hopes my aspirations - all gone.

are you ok? Is there anything we can do to help? Hugs!

Just having someone this side of the world thinking about me is a bonus.
Thank you

dlmckay

Of course we are here - that's the whole point of the forum right?

Gosh, I just wish I could do something practical for you - have you decided what you're doing next? Staying, going, making wax effigy and sticking pins in it???

I've already poured conditioner and shampoo in the bags he left in the bedroom. Along with the decapitated teddy I gave him 17 years ago. And the contents od the hoover bag....
I haven't cried and I don't intend to either.
I have emptied out all the booze in the house as I don't intend to start drinking myself into a stupour about it either.

dlmckay

Good for you. Now is the time to be strong.
I'll flick you an email....

Sorry to hear the news Karen.

So keep the house and contents, cars and everything else.


Than start looking for a younger better model

Hiya

Any suits you can cut up? Paint stripper on the car? Sorry to hear this Karen - it's probably far too soon to be making any decisions about what you're going to do but NZ's a big country so it's your oyster now. Lots of people are around for you - there's a girls night out on 18th October if you fancy making a trip up to Auckland? Take care.

SHIT Karen! :curse:

Please don't start thinking you have to leave NZ or anything. Just take your time with your decisions, and know that your friends are thinking of you at this incredibly rough time. (((hugs!)))

dlmckay

Pah, that's the last thing she needs...

It'd be great if you could come up, I'm sure we can find some lodgings for you

karonious

We bought what I imagine is our last joint purchase today - a new satnav - for me....but I hate driving anywhere I don't know so I would manage to get lost between Hamilton and Auckland
Thank you for the invitation though.

That's sad news...but you've only had a few hours for this to sink in. Perhaps over time things will work out better than they seem at the moment.

All the best.

Thanks jacky,
I can't/won't have him back after this, it just wouldn't be right.
2 of my sons phoned up this morning after I told my 'daughter-in-law', it was really good to hear from them. I told both his parents, they seem very sad.
Not going to cry, not going to cry - get mad instead
