Hi

I do not believe that for a minute.

You are intelligent, articulate but nobody’s fool.

You are no longer in a controlling relationship and can now do what you want.

Good for you, go for it, but you are no idiot and a complete waste of time for the scammers.##

I am actually in my mid 30’s, a multi millionaire with the body of a god.

That is a load of rubbish, but then you are intelligent enough to know that.

I have also met some on here who will confirm that.

Nothing special , not pushy, but good fun.

I have also been in awe of them, very confident in my job and abilities, but capable of being run over by ladies.

My female Enforcement Officers often despaired of me, a typical man, should have listened but didn’t.

A very common thing to happen.

I’d add:

  1. Seeing the “welcome to Cornwall” sign when I’m going on holiday

  2. Opening a brand new book I’ve been looking forward to reading

  3. thunder and lightening and that first glorious rain when the weather breaks after a hot, muggy spell

  4. the sight of the sea, beautiful and inviting, just before my swim

  5. a cat “kiss”

  6. the garden scents of roses, honeysuckle and lavender

  7. those videos of deaf and blind small babies and children when they are first given hearing aids or glasses and they see or hear for the first time

Oh, I forgot. Men whistling tunes. You don’t get it a lot nowadays but my dad would whistle all the times when he was doing jobs, and now so does my son

Hi

Well that got a response, and exactly the right one.

No, I am not being condescending, just commenting on someone who is flowering, knowing her own mind and her own decisions.

You have a whole new life in front of you and you are well capable of seizing it.

Your man was your man and I have no doubt you were very good at that.

Now is your time, go get it.

Quite a list! Just a few. My wife obviously. She has been excellent for me - and still is. The family on both sides of the pond. The lovely neighbours we have. And that bloody dog!

Quite a few of the ones on the list would make me smile.

Also, hearing Mr B say he’s cooking dinner or getting us a takeaway;
Seeing the first raspberries appear on our canes each year;
Seeing my granddaughter’s huge smile when I present her with something new I’ve just made for her.

Hi

Very simple Pixie, Nicole Kidman and Co stripping.

Absolute Heaven.

Littlies, great fun aren’t they?

Feeding my fish, watering the plants and picking the flowers and veg.

Then a mad rush to clean up, but leaving a right mess before the McDonalds.

The more mess, the less they get next time.

It is a war of attrition, boundaries have to be set, and I am very good at boundaries.

All good fun, but a learning curve for both.
