The good and the bad

Hi peeps

I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Taking the excellent advice on this website I pretty much started by taking it one day at a time. This does indeed help. 

I thought to share the good and the bad and would love to hear anyone else's should they wish to share.

Today I had both a good and a bad moment. I received 2 letters in the post.

The first was from the hosp confirming my op date (my bad moment) cos my stomach dropped and I had that now familiar feeling of anxiousness take hold for a moment but shook it off cos I know it is needed. 

The good - my 2nd letter - as if... a tax rebate - boom  . Not half put a much needed smile on my face . Reckon a my treat family meal is in order.

Eeee it's the little things ain't it. 

Take care peeps

  • Hi ladies,

    Happy New year to you all. In my case not so happy. Jamie got drunk so I went to bed and heard him saying he wanted to grab some girls boobs he saw. Obviously a sore subject with me so I confronted him then he told me to f off and grow some ***. I am absolutely heartbroken. To me that is unforgivable or am I overreacting.? Advise needed xx

  • Happy New year ladies. Here's hoping it's a good one for us all.

    Dizzle - men are so stupid sometimes. Most likely he's had it all pent up inside and not dealt with his emotions and knows he's done wrong so reacted to you asking him abruptly. There's no excuse for his behaviour and you've got enough to deal with. No youre not overreacting. Its ttly below the belt and how would he feel if tables were turned and you reacted this way?

    Give him space and the very cold shoulder. That's what I tend to do. We are all here for you so always remember you're not alone. Chin up and soldier on. You're doing great.xx

    i had a bust up with my hubby just before Christmas. Not quite the same but I think becaus emotions run high we all have a point where everything boils over. I agree there is no excuse for what he said but we all say things we don’t really mean in these sort of circumstances. I told my husband I was leaving him after Christmas, taking my money and running. I meant it at the time but sensible head  then prevails. Cold shoulder I think may help to let him know how you are feeling. However if you’re the confronting type then when everything is calmed down try to talk it through. I suppose it depends on your relationship and the type of people you are. You will find your way through like you have so far.  We are all with you. Take care. Virtual hand squeeze from me to you.

  • Hi Ladies, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! It's difficult saying 'Happy New Year' because I know it's going to be the toughest yet. Let's hope that it is as kind to us all as is possible. 

    Dizzle, I don't think you're overreacting in the slightess, I would be absolutely fuming. I can only imagine how hurt and upset you must feel at hearing him say that! I agree with you and it would take an awful lot for me to forgive that. Lots of love ️

     

  • So sorry to hear this Dizzle. Give him time to calm down. Emotions run high at this time of year and we forget how difficult it is for our nearest and dearest.

    Maybe give him a hug and ask him calmly if he meant what he said. You need to know how he feels. I am sure he is feeling bad.

    Best wishes xx

  • Hi Dizzel well..... this behaviour is why I am not a fan of the whole “New Year” thing. 

    Now anyone who has spent a bit of time reading my posts will know I’m a stick em stick em all type of gal when miffed. This has miffed me on behalf of you our lovely dizzel.....but. New year is a strange beast and when mixed with alcohol, stress and pain inducing situations the unexpected can happen. 

    From yr prev posts dizzel this is soooo out of character for your Jamie. Now don’t get me wrong... he was bang out of order....and yet I’m still saying but. I know u must be feeling so hurt by this. He has lashed out in the well known mean drunk kind of way. 

    Yes you need to talk with him.... but when it is all so raw, and still in the “now” moment....perhaps it would be better to hold off till you can both look each other in the eye without accusation and guilt....or that is the emotions  and words that will lead the conversation. 

    Your conversation needs to take place when you both have had time to remember that foremost you love each other. 

    Deep breaths lass. You know your man. My “but” to you is never be a victim. You have proven your strength so be honest with yourself and your relationship and act accordingly.

    Sending my virtual “ mam” hugs your way cos they are the best hugs I give. 

    Last but not least..... just give me the nod if needed ...I reckon I could take him out ;-) ️ ️ ️

  • Well peeps all the best being sent your way for 2019!

    Let’s begin the year the way we mean to go on.... with passion, fortitude and a motherload of having each other’s backs. 

    A big clashing clink of all our virtual champagne glasses.. and here’s to us. X

  • I’ll help if you need back up Sandra!!!

  • Me too Sandra... not a chance with us three I reckon.
