LDR chat thread VIII

Hey Guys

Here's the new chat thread (number 8 if you're keeping count!!), if you don't know the drill by now feel free to post in here to talk/rant/get virtual about your LDR whatever the distance.

We specialise in rants, and :hugs:

, oh and advice. So lets ramble on for another 10,000.

If you don't know the specific advice thread is in H&R at the top of the page! (I would do the fancy linking thing but I can't do it )

Enjoy.

Hellooooo

I've not been around much cos I'm very busy and tired just now, but some potentially good news (if everything works out). My LDR might be ending as Marc has found work near my hometown and could be getting a flat in my hometown itself :smile:

Not moving in together yet, but being in the same town should be great, and so much less stress. However, it depends on the department of work and pensions (his potential new workplace) not finding out that he committed fraud for 2 weeks by not signing off while he worked 2 weeks at Co-op in June.... Fingers crossed that doesn't happen! Stupid boy for doing that but he deserves a break now after searching for months for something, and it would make life much easier if he lived in the same town as me :smile:

In not so great news, some of you may remember me talking about my Gran on my estranged Dad's side dying a couple weeks ago, and I attended her funeral. My Grandad has since written me a letter telling me that nothing has changed, that Dad was and has always been an honorable man who was denied access to us kids when we were younger, and that Gran's death changes nothing. I received that letter on Wednesday and was determined to leave it and not do anything about it, mainly cos Mum was adamant that writing back would be therapeutic but I thought she wanted me to do that for the wrong reasons (to prove her innocence in all this). After being away for the weekend though and feeling like crying when I came back into Arbroath, I started writing and have got about 2 pages of a word document written so far. I think it's something I have to write, though whether I send it or not is a different matter.

Any ideas? I really havent got a clue what to do. It shouldnt mean this much to me because I've gotten through life without these people, but I feel as if Grandad should be told all the home truths, whether he already knows them or not. It wont make a difference but I feel I need to get the last word, particularly as the letter described the way Dad had been treated as "disrespectful" - when he has shown no respect or interest in his kids....

Danielle: Send it. It sounds like you need this, and what's the worst that will happen? If he's already not wanting anything to do with you, then there's nothing further he can do.

Hi guys, subscribing to the new thread!

Been reading everything on here, just haven't posted for a while.

Good luck to everyone with housing issues etc, it's a massive thing.

Things are great with me at the moment, bf stuff is brilliant and I started my PGCE properly today, my first ever proper PGCE seminar. My timetable's much better than I imagined but I'm sure I'm gonna have lots of work to do in my free time!

Loved the Inbetweeners movie. Made me wanna watch all the episodes again.

jeally: is there any student support there to help you? I bet there's plenty of students there feeling the same as you and if you are able to get in contact with them, it might help you.

Danielle: I would probably send it. I always find that I tend to regret things I didn't say to people, rather than things I did. It sounds like you've had a horrible time recently , so maybe doing this could draw a real line under it and maybe lift a weight off your shoulders?

Everything's very boring with me at the moment - I am finding this much much easier than I thought I would. Feeling very positive at the moment - I feel as though this short time we're apart is a small price to pay to know that we have a relationship that's worth the effort and pain of an LDR. Obviously miss him like mad, but we love, trust and respect each other enough to both really try to make this work. I hope that thought can sort of comfort some of you who are having a hard time missing your OHs at the moment!

Just killing a bit of time before we go and pick the boy up and go to the train station. I was hoping the wind would go away but it hasn't, so our flight's gonna be ...interesting :teehee:

turbulence frightens me so I'll probably end up clinging to him the entire way to Paris. Then we have to get a train and the metro to the hotel; it's going to be a longgggg day!

Have a lovely week everyone :smile:

and lots of :hugs:

to jellybean, I really hope things start to settle down for you. xx
