Well the shrink-couch, words of wisdom stuff is all very well on paper.

I was more suggesting the practical things people can do to pass the time over the next crappy year or so to come - according to personal research and experience, I might add.

Well judging from Monica's post these women are much tougher than me and don't need anyone to defend them. As you were.

Good research though. I've known some married people follow that advice, but perhaps that's another story.....

BOb thanks for the advice, however people cope in different ways. I am still coping with my situation because my Former hubby is unwell and i am having to care for him. However when I am out of my situation I will remember your wise words, and I plan to go on holiday, once i turn my Dissertation proposal in.B)

For sure. Not only does my scientific advice offer a shallow and futile means of attempting to deal with a serious relationship breakdown, the very same steps could also be used to good effect as a particularly cowardly means of ending a relationship in the first place.

LOL BOB thank you for making me laugh today x

Hi Ellikp,

Whatever you do, delete their number from your phone. By all means keep it hidden somewhere out of arms reach for emergencies, but don't have it at your disposal. I've recently done this, only one year too late, and now have to live with the cringeworthy drunken sent messages and his dialled number at 2am.

Just pathetic. Not me at all either which is the worst thing about it.

Just keep yourself busy.

And as they say, the best way to get over a guy/gal is to get under another one. You quickly forget.

I suggested: My tip for enduring a sexless existence is to go and buy yourself a remote controlled helicopter.

Giggirl replied: If you're thinking of going down the "remote controlled" route then you may find a rabbit more rewarding.

Apart from alluding to today's snatch plant being operated via a wireless handset, do you mean to suggest that it runs on two-stroke aswell? Doesn't sound very user friendly. Sounds like you'd be better off with a lawnmower engine between your legs.

I have the same problem with late drunk texts/posts on the forum - I have tried to hide the computer but unfortunately I always seem to find it, eventually.

Although the forum has a nifty edit button that one can rely upon "the morning after", i think that's a bit of a coward's way out, so I grin and bear it.

Lol Mick Mac, I dont recall seeing any drunken posts from you, you must be a polite drunk.

One of my ex-lady loves used to say it is best if you can get your men to over-lap.

'You're never alone with a groin'

That is incorrect 'you're never alone with a Strand', is what the add said.

[charliecharlie]

are you saying that one of you exes used to be a lady and is now no longer one, SteveT????

how very interesting... do tell more!
