Went to the doctor to discuss my wrist pain, broke down crying. Had bloods taken, given the website of a counselling group. She doesn't want to go back to the meds until she's certain nothing else will help. She doesn't want to sign me off work just yet, because there's "scope to recover"...

There's always a tendency to reveal the less than ideal aspects of marriage on a forum, you do not tend to need others to provide their perspective on the more positive aspects of your relationships (and sometimes actively avoid that, one person's happiness is another's garbage dump and all...

I've always been taught it's up to the couple. If Miss Smith wants to become Mrs Jones, she becomes Mrs Jones. If she wants to me Mrs Smith-Jones, it's that. If she wants to me Mrs Smith who is married to Mr Jones, then that's just dandy. The reasons are probably rather diverse. Personally I...

Most of the time I think we do the relationships with our spouse and children are done a great injustice by being directly compared. I also think it is unreasonable to weigh up priority by the time invested in the relationship, as children will have to take priority over your spouse time wise...

There have been a few weddings where two people who met on CF, invited people from CF to attend. Shocking. Not sure the public conversations between them always reveal what is going on then, some are sneaky little creatures.

Psht. I'd totally marry you, alas I'm promised to another 5'7 gentleman. Finding a wife is easy, you just ask multiple women "do you want a husband?". The one who says yes, you snap her up quick.

I'd say yes, because dating is fun. But only if this nice and godly individual was just looking for a short term companion during their much longer, more complicated path to finding their eventual spouse. Do not be unequally yoked, the nice and godly individual needs someone who will support...

The one which reacts in the most graceful manner to being casually informed that we were not dating monogamously, there are 4-5 other partners in my life, and as much as I love them all there's no way I have enough time in this fine world to give them all the attention they deserve in a marriage...

Sorely tempted to try to go/actually go/whatever. I've been very, very good for a very long time. Everyone needs to get out of the box now and then... ==============================

"Don't over think things that don't need to be" But this needs to be. Family events are big deals, you have to navigate them properly or risk causing great offence. Or is it only my family who have rigid, unwritten rules when it comes to such things. I know my parents would be most unhappy...

How to tell I'm bored of socialising with people; I spam CF once more.

I wrote out a huge lengthy post explaining all the different situations I could imagine where an age gap would be inappropriate, and some where the age gap was not the issue at all (but could be made the issue as it's the easiest thing to grasp onto). But long posts like that are stupid. If the...

I've been proposed to (seriously) once. I freaked out rather too close to the wedding date, and have actively avoided such things ever since.

Over thinking will be the death of me. That or inappropriate questions asked of short tempered people. Edit: I've definitely annoyed him. Oh well. There goes another chapter of my life :D.

St Teresa is one of those saints who, when looking at quotes attributed to them, I feel overcome with fondness. This particular quote is a favourite of mine, so there's not a lot to explain. If I could be as interesting as she appears to have been, then I would be blessed indeed.

Jacket potatoes. With butter. Nice salted butter. Proper butter. None of that rubbish people try to fool you with. I'm in a potato loving phase.

I really hate being called "girly". Not the descriptive way, I can accept my love of pink glittery things may be viewed as girly, but as a term of endearment. It's down there with baby. Possibly silly moo too. Still not sure I'm happy with that one.

Music. Currently I'm listening to a whole lot of bands in a similar vein to Tankus the Henge, Louis Barabbas, Gogol Bordello, and Boney M. Because nothing rivals Boney M. I don't pay enough attention to genres, and everyone keeps coming out with a new sub-genre or other which makes certain...
