hopeless4u Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 I'm writing this because as the title says....Ipod, wine and memories....my 'new' life starts on Monday, Friday night here in sunny UK. I am so trying not to send an e mail to xMM as I know its pointless but I've spoken a million words in my head tonight, I was meant to be with my girlfriends but things went tits up so I've drank the wine we should of drank....not good I know but at least I'm here not making a fool of myself to him, right?? Anyway, hopefully this is my last 'pour my heart out' thread. I'm so much better than I have been for a long time but my heart still hurts so bad. When I feel myself falling into that 'place' of thinking of him and the tears come, I can stop myself now....good, right?? I'm off to Vegas in 3 days, my turning point, no triggers for a whole week! Not even sure why I'm writing this but its better than sending it to him... Just needed to vent I guess...
joey66 Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 h4u - It hurts, I know. Vent all you need to, but do it here. Just want to say, I hear you.
Just a stone's throw Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 I'm writing this because as the title says....Ipod, wine and memories....my 'new' life starts on Monday, Friday night here in sunny UK.

Not even sure why I'm writing this but its better than sending it to him... Just needed to vent I guess... Aww, Hugs H4U! I would come and drink wine with you!! Again, "Tit's Up" You and your Britt Lingo!! Love it!! Like JT said, write it here. We'll read it and you'll keep your momentum going in the right direction! Am proud of you, we're tempted every day.... but you're going in the "proper" direction! Put some "Up Beat" music on the iPod, not the soupy, old sentimental stuff" Get up and dance, girlfriend!! That's what you need! Make that choice! JAST
WhereToGoFromHere Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Oh H4U, I'm so sorry to hear this. Its been a while since I've posted here. I will warn you about 'drunk emailing'. Its very dangerous. Step away from the PC, shut off your ipod!! No sad songs, only think of your new life and how much fun you will have in Vegas!! You are doing so amazingly well and you've made so much progress and I can only hope to be as far along as you someday. This $hit surely sucks. I really really admire how far you've come!!!
joey66 Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 It sucks to be at sixes and sevens. But, chin up, stiff upper lip. And soon you're in Vegas gambling and drinking and flirting with with cute guys and, the next thing you know, Bob's your uncle.
White Flower Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 I should meet you in Vegas, but what a long drive that would be. But I could use the distraction as well since I'm in the same boat and have the whole weekend off. PM me.
WhereToGoFromHere Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Maybe we should have a LS convention in Vegas, huh? Wouldn't that be kind of cool???
White Flower Posted May 7, 2010 Posted May 7, 2010 Maybe we should have a LS convention in Vegas, huh? Wouldn't that be kind of cool??? I'm game. But what if you're all BW posing as OW??? Huh huh huh?:lmao:

Author hopeless4u Posted May 7, 2010 Author Posted May 7, 2010 What were you going to say to him? Say it here. JT, not sure what I wanted to say but I know I would of hated myself tomorrow...something along the lines of how giving me up will be the biggest regret of his life and he knows he will wake up one day and say wtf! But he has to do what he has to do and I cant change that and I have to learn to live with that and I will...IN VEGAS x

It's good to come here and get slapped down a bit!!!!! Hope you have fun in Vegas. You have no idea how jealous I am.....would love to go, it would be 'the dogs' (not sure if that is a Brit saying but anyway I use it)

Thanks guys for the words of wisdom and the random chats:) x
delirious Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 Yeah and the Stiff Upper Lip, is entirely British. So Joey you are busted. Originally Posted by joey66 It sucks to be at sixes and sevens.

delirious Posted May 8, 2010 Posted May 8, 2010 H4U, know where you are coming from, i was guilty of sending drunken text messages, and I too thought of saying that when we went NC, usually at weekends when he did not pick them up and I missed him so much. Although entirely therapeutic, when he did pick them up I must have looked like a bunny boiler. Especially two or three at once!!! .

Er I think he looked up some British phrases and added them, just to be tongue in cheek I'd imagine. Still, I've been convinced he's British from the beginning but he still pretends he's American.

Still, I've been convinced he's British from the beginning but he still pretends he's American. Not pretending. Born and raised in the good old USA. And you're close about the above. My roommate in college was a Brit. (Me, be tongue-in-cheek? Never!)
Author hopeless4u Posted May 8, 2010 Author Posted May 8, 2010 I will practise the 'vad'/'had' accent but not sure i'll be very good....so Joey you grew up in the 'good old USA' but where do you live now?? D, I promise no more e mails from me, it was a weak moment but I'm good again now. I was sooo relieved then next morning when I hadn't sent it and the thread on here turned into a right laugh so all good;) Oh and Joey I WILL be flirting with cute guys and hopefully winning lots of $'s to pay my bills when I get back home as this holiday is costing me and my friends the last 6 months of our social lives and ALL of our savings...EEEKKK!!!!
White Flower Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Not pretending. Born and raised in the good old USA. And you're close about the above. My roommate in college was a Brit. (Me, be tongue-in-cheek? Never!) Joey these Brits don't know that we know about the words 'knackered' (pronounced nack-ud) and 'rather' (pronounced raw-tha, not raw-therrr) and that some of our besties are English. For some reason, our Brit friend's accents rub off on us moreso than any other of our foreign friends. I guess because it is cool and maybe even a little proper (pro-pa). I love imitating my English friend. When she buys something she must ring me up (call me) and tell me all about it. 'I bought the most beauuuutttiful (pronounced bee you ti fo) bedspread at Factory2U this morning. It's red. It's not a bright red and it's not a dark red. It's sort of a ....... ......... ....... a dark bright red!' (Bright almost sounds like broit even though she is from Kent). When I imitate her my kids crack up. She laughs the loudest but pretends to be 'quite put out' and raises an evil British brow at me. H4U I can't wait to meet you.

Nevada is pronounced with a short "a" sound. vad rhymes with had, not with God. True. You wouldn't want the local gangstas to shoot you for mispronouncing anything. Just kidding. Vegas is a melting pot of culture. Too bad you thought you were going to get away from those French.
