A Quite christmas

Well me and kids had a very peaceful christmas,did what we wanted when we wanted,no one controlling the tv,kids downstairs with the playstation etc not being told they have a tv in their bedrooms go and watch that,they now have their own front door key which was not allowed before,my son made a fire in the woodburner never been allowed before,have seen more of the kids in the last two weeks then in the last two months,partner left my house two weeks before christmas and quess what....he has moved in with my ex husbands ex partner yes you could not make it up,all the best to them i am well rid of this idiot i allowed in my home for 7 years he is a controlling selfish lazy person.
He has only gone to my ex husbands ex to try to get back at me and she has only took him in because my ex husband has just dumped her for a younger model.
Thats it for me now no more relationships at 50 i am staying free and single .

I understand how you feel, relationships are far too complicated and there are far worse things than being single.

I am 50 next year - split for 3 years and divorced for 2 years and I love being single! Can do what I want when I want. Eat what I want, have the dogs in the lounge, watch what I want on tv, go where I want without letting anyone know, have no mens clothes to wash (my kids are all girls).

Can be a bit lonely at times, but would much rather cuddle up with one of my dogs at night than a smell, farty, man! lol

If you ever feel lonely, get writing the sitcom your exes have handed you on a plate!

Christmas is about being with people who love you, not people who control you.

I had a brill Christmas with my Mum, my sons, my brother and my cousin, all of whom were much nicer than my husband!

Santasue I guess you don't how bad things were until they have gone, at least you know you are better off. Good on you for a positive outlook.

Fiona is right relationships are far too complicated especially live in ones.

Jo us guys are not all smelly and farty thank you! and I find mens clothes easier to iron as those pleated schools skirts are a nighmare I can get through 3 shirts for every one of those.

Good luck to you... I loved being single after a very miserable marriage! Don't give it up unless you're totally convinced a new relationship is even better...
