Sorry I've been down for a few days and just stayed off the forum because I feel like all my moaning is maybe putting someone off and I don't want to affect someone elses journey in a negetive way.
I'm feeling a bit better today though my head is spinning with things that are not wl related and I have a terrible inner turmoil going on.
I hope you all are well

Hi everyone. Toni: how's your head related issues? Getting any better?

Vicki: Nice to hear from you again, sorry about your inner turmoil.

I am fine...Lost another pound!! (11st 11.4!) probably due, besides the fact that I'm eating next to nothing, to all the hill walking I'm doing here in Jerusalem. Only two more days and we're flying back to London on Thursday. The weather was quite nice this morning, at midday it turned vicious; windy, freezing cold and rainy. We have some building work going on right across the street to our house and they start drilling every morning at 7.15 sharp; what a blimmin' racket!! No sleeping in possible! And last night was a seminal moment for hubby...he's SOOO not the type to get addicted to an online computer game; he's religious and studious, but somehow he's become addicted to chess played across the net with live opponents. He knows how addictive it is and how much of a waste of time and he keeps telling me "just this game and I'll stop..". Last night I was so cross because I needed him to undo my necklace before I went to bed, around 11 pm, and he couldn't stop his game because it was time related. I managed it by myself in the end and went to bed. Woke up at 3.45 a.m. to go to the loo and he was still downstairs playing that bl**dy game, I was furious!! Anyway I think he finally realized what he's doing to himself and he's taken upon himself never to play it again. But I got a very disturbed night as a result, I was so upset I couldn't sleep, and then at 7.15 the drilling started.

Sorry for rambling on so much rubbish. Going to take a nap in a minute.

You are free to talk to us about anything, we really do not care if it is WLS related or not. We want your inner turmoil. Share with us If you cant talk it through with us, who can you?


I know how you feel about the gaming Ruthie, my OH is on the laptop until at least 2am, if not 4am. Cant remeber the last time he came to bed before 2am. He players an MMORPG and its an American server so he stays up to play with all the American woman he is "friends" with. I used to play it too, got fed up of being ignored by him non stop online and in real life so gave up... now Im only ignored in real life :sigh: Oh well at least you OH has learnt Grats on another lb lost

My hubby never plays computer games at home in London; he doesn't allow himself. He's normally quite strict about it, but he's seen for himself what happens when he "lets go" because he's on holiday. It's only chess, he's not "talking" to any women, he has no idea who his opponent is either so I suppose I should be grateful for small mercies. Actually it was my middle son who introduced him to this gaming so I might have a word with him when we get back!

Awww ((hugs)) its tough feeling that turmoil. I definitely understand. Never feel like you can't share. I am finding the online diary quite therapeutic even if nobody reads it. It helps getting things out.

I swore I wasn't going to do this but if I don't say it somewhere my head is going to explode so please forgive me. I had meltdown a year and half ago and tried to end the pain forever. I am feeling depressed and I'm afraid I'm going to go into meltdown again. There are a few escapes I could take but I don't want the crap either would bring and I also don't want to run away or except that he has beaten me. Yesterday a girl he was trying to get with showed up and stayed all day. I made dinner and she stayed meaning everyone had to share their portion (my daughter was well not impressed). Around 10:30 I asked him what she was doing because I wanted to go to bed...shock surprise she stayed the night. Then this morning though he never gets up until 11 EVER he was up at 8:30 making me a tea (uh huh) so I said yea thats why you are up early. He got angry...hmmm some truth in that maybe?? Why lie?? Seriously...if he wants so bad to be with someone else why not just do it and quit playing head games with me. It would be so much easier if he would just say he wants to be with someone else instead of telling me he loves me and other crap which so obviously isn't true. I have never had a good record with men. My first husband beat me up for 9 years before I got the courage to leave him 9or maybe it was more the fear of staying) then I was with a guy for 9 more years who stole and pawned everything from our house to buy marijuana (i found out after we broke up he slept with every girl he could get in bed with him during our whole relationship) and then there was the guy I was with for a year who told everyone I tried to kill him (I didn't) I got put in a mental facility for a while for that one and now the current husband who I had so hoped would be different...He was (I think) great until I got sick and now he wants me to hold on and wait for him to "get over" wanting to F**K the planet. My heart is turning to ashes in front of him and he doesn't care or notice. I am fed up with being the nice house wife who just smiles and acts like everything is fine. I want to run away but I'm far to stubborn and refuse to take things lying down...I will never allow him to take the dignity I have left. I hated me first husband for years after we divorced and one day I went to visit our daughters (who chose to live with him when I got put in the mental facility) and he apologised for all he had done...I feel nothing for him anymore...not hate, definitely not love and I'm not sure I could say like either. I hope my current husband is prepared for how things are going to end up. I know I am stronger than I was a year and half ago but it makes me feel like a hopeless pathetic shell when tears slide down my face and I want to sleep all day just so I don't have to face things. I don't want to be weak I can't accept weak...it's not who I am. I always stand back up and it bothers me that I am having so much trouble standing back up this time. I did this surgery for me and I am glad I did. I think that kills him because he couldn't stop it and I don't listen to anything he has to say about it. I think he can feel the control slipping out of his hands and me taking over. I spine is getting hardened and I can feel the hate creeping over me. My heart is trying to fight it but my head is starting to win.

Some of you know I have been trying to get my own place and I applied for housing. I got a reply that said I was added to the housing list but wouldn't be able to bid because I am on the lease here. I'm not on the lease...never have been. So I called them yesterday to tell this and the lady I talked to said they were going to check to see if I am on the lease and if they don't call me by Friday morning then I will be sent my code number and will then be able to bid on places. Keep your fingers crossed I don't get that call. xxxxxx
Anyhow I've moaned long enough and you all have better things to do than sit here reading my whining.
Have a great day
lots of love
