thanks very much for that, i think a plum wine will be perfect. she likes a red so maybe i'll get one as well and see how far my money will take me. and there are vegetables ready to be sauteed sitting in the fridge. its all good. and the journal is coming together well i think. i have a poem on the...

wow, thanks a lot! :D i'm making a sort of oriental style battered beef steak (beef marinated in soy sauce, with a touch of garlic, then dipped in a cornflour and egg white mix and fried, served with a bit of pepper and, if i ever learn to make it, some sort of sweet curry sauce), with a side of ric...

oh dear...i just realised the complications of adapting these posts for my journal, which i just got and have 5 days to complete, because of all the negative things written of late. of course, in an ideal world, i could write everything here word for word and there would be no problem, but being rea...

actually, theres little to report. we're still together, and actually very stable as far as i can tell. we're currently in the middle of uni xmas holidays and have exams in a couple of weeks, so theres a bit of pressure on us both that is keeping us apart to revise, as she prefers to study alone. at...

congruous is right, and its definitely worth listening to those on this forum. we're all here for different reasons but everyone here shares something in common, a capacity to listen and advise thoughtfully on issues such as this. its good to hear from a new member

omg, i don't know how to say this...i know the reaction this will provoke, but i've gone this far already and i might as well put it out there. i just hope you don't hate me by the end. but for sure, any lingering respect will be lost. the other night, i called her to speak about what had happened. ...

today, i've been occupied, so she went and met Jughead. they had an argument again yesterday, and she was angry at him. they went for a drink together today anyway. just left. she was slightly pissed so she stepped out and felt very cold. i ask her what she'll be doing, she says she'll go home. i as...

hmm, not that ridiculous, in fact. but, i should clarify something. they never were an item. but for one night, they never shared anything but a friendship. and then she always maintained that she did not love him back (and tbh, the way he acts isn't that of a person in love but one with an infatuat...

an excellent point, Ith, wonderfully made. and totally spot on. in fact, i just finished discussing this issue with her over the phone within the past hr. now, i realise there are certain things in this post that might come across as strange or troubling, but bear with me. her jealous friend, as he ...

thanks for the replies all, and in response to congruous i'm not mad at anyone :? , in fact i'm very thankful for all advice and comments made, as there is of course no obligation to do so. i would wish for nothing less than strong words of support, and i am glad that this board gathers together spe...

congratulations Ith, it's great to hear your hard work is paying off, especially after such a long time since the last time! good luck with all that is to come, but i'm sure it will yield the same results

oh dear...i think my words have spiralled out of control. i must admit that i had lost sight of things i enjoyed and focused entirely on things that made me anxious. to be fair, there have been many, but then noone said relationships are easy. and especially with someone with so much to love. all th...

nonono, don't take that the wrong way, i didn't mean that i valued anyone's opinion over yours. but i think i have begun to use these posts as an outlet for my frustrations more than anything else, and neglected to include all the wonderful feelings and details i did at the beginning, and you picked...

thanks for the vote of confidence. last night was another big night :shock:. i hadn't seen her for 40 hrs over the weekend, but she never left my mind. so i was very excited to meet her, but when i did, something about her mood gave me nothing to smile about. it was painfully obvious there was somet...

gotta admit i like the sound of both, but not necessary. forgot to mention the guy is moving away in a couple of weeks time, so not only will he not see her after (not much anyway, but probably will at some point) but it does to an extent give him license to see her now, seeing as they are close fri...

fgs...the problem with a relationship with a kind, compassionate, beautiful person is that you will always be surrounded by jealousy and anger. and these things seem to have a way of striking when you are at your happiest. and thus it proved today. so many things to talk about, so many questions, so...

today was a big day, one of the biggest in my life so far. it was the first day in our relationship, and in my life, that sex became a very real prospect. and more importantly than that is why it did not happen, but promises so much more, something else entirely. hopefully i will be able to put this...

as always, complicated and varied. many positives and negatives. to keep it short, and frankly i've ranted enough in the past, then basically we found a common ground in our dreams for our future together. we only discovered this after numerous misunderstandings, which lead to an upsetting night, wh...

tends to be you'll say you're at uni, then if you're in a top uni you'll flaunt the name shamelessly like my cambridge friends, otherwise you wait till people ask you, then drop a name of a city, which is pretty much all people need to know. unless it's in london, in which case you'll need to name t...

welcome, the more the merrier!
