Separation

[oskihen]

After a pretty crappy 18 months in my marriage, relationship counselling and individual counselling for me (apparently my wife thinks that for her it would be a waste of her time and money) I'm viewing a 1 bed flat this afternoon. I don't really want to go into too many details, but just wanted to share where I'm at. Although I am under no illusion that separating is going to be easy, I am really hopeful about the future and feel better about myself than I have ever done. I've asked [MENTION=1]Deano[/MENTION] if I can put a few boxes up for sale as I am going to have some additional unplanned expenses in the near future, so watch this space.

Sad news mate, been there done that etc, couple of years down the line and you'll look back and count it as a blessing, new chapters etc. Just one point are you sure she'll be OK in a one bedroom flat and doesn't need something a bit bigger [emoji6]

Really sorry to hear that, Steve.

I'm sure all the 'Guildford Herf crew' will agree - just say if/when you fancy a few communal sticks.

This. We?re here if you fancy escaping to enjoy a stick and putting the world to rights!

Yep I?m up for this too. I imagine I?ll be off work for a couple of weeks from next week if you fancy a cigar or two.

I could probably make a Guildford herf if anyone wants to hear me ask some stupid questions and tell that jokei tell.

Hope things settle quickly mate.

I'll be off work for March it looks like so might be able to drag myself down your way too.

It's a rough time Steve, as you know I know, but there is always light at the end of a storm.
Best of luck with getting through this but never forget who's most important. Your kids and you.

Hi Steve, Hope the counselling helps you come to terms with the situation. I assume the 1bed flat is a financial necessity but does that mean you wouldn't be able to have your children stay over?

This is only going to be a temporary arrangement, and I would plan on having a sofa bed so that they can stay over if they want. A 2 bed place would be great but around here the cost is prohibitive plus I need to find somewhere where I can have a dog.

Thanks for all your kind comments guys - I knew I could count on your support. The flat I looked at earlier is in Godalming so if I get it a meet up at the Squirrel or at the Tup would definitely be on the cards once I've got myself sorted.

[Deano]

Ah that?s a lovely town, we have friends there. I wouldn?t mind living there myself!

Sorry to hear this, try to keep positive and remember there are plenty of us on here you can talk to if you need.

[geoffbot]

Sorry for your troubles. I'm glad of a good reason for a get together in the near future.

Well you know you?ve got BOTL close enough to throw stones at the windows so when you?re up for it, let us know!
