    << cuddles >>

    Tis true ... menfolk often need us to really spell stuff out to them. There were many occasions when my ex used to plunge into the depths of despair and he was impossible to console. The reason for this? Because a part he was waiting on for his bike hadn't arrived, or because the weather had been hideous and he hadn't managed to get out on it ... oh the drama!

    Have a little treat - whether that be a nice cuppa & a piece of cake, or a manicure or whatever - just give yourself a little boost and a pamper.

    Hey hey, not all us men are terrible shits, I'll be the first to admit some are, but I'm here to hand out cuddles and peace.
    But yeah I'm sorry you are feeling bad and your partner isn't supportive and e-hugs in your direction, but please ladies stop the man bashing.

    Hugs to all people that need them or would just like some..... SOME men are complete prats but there are the occasional great ones... so lets stop tarnishing them all with the same brush, after all we don't like getting tarnished with the stripper brush.

    It does sound a little like he just was completely un-connected with you at that point. I would say that the only way to make it better in the long run is to sit him down and say to him exactly what you said to us, what has been going on in your life, how it makes you feel and how his reaction was of no help what so ever. It may become a fight but afterwards the air will be cleared and perhaps he will learn that even as you put it doormats need support.


    on a completely separate point as I was writing this my cat came in and has now curled op on a feather boa and won't move... have I a burly cat?

    I wasn't man bashing - I know there are some great guys out there. I was just pointing out that even the good ones need some help understanding what you want sometimes.

    I am so sorry Lovely. Virtual hugs are coming your way.

    And I will also say that it is not just men that can be insensitive; people can be generally. I know several self-obsessed men AND women that don't think outside of themselves.

    You take care of yourself and be very proud of what you, and you alone, have achieved.
