I thought I'd open a new thread after a bit of a board break. And I've moved home- thought I'd try separated out for a change. I'll post links to previous threads at some point but here a quick recap...
Me: 35 H: 29 OW: June (?) 07 Moved out: Aug 07 H: confused, crying, depressed, indecisive, can't leave me alone, etc etc Me: Stepped off the rollercoaster and feeling fine (maybe even good?) about it. Lighter.....
The dress on Thursday night was a big hit- I had three CEOs (not including my own) chasing me during the evening to speak to me, and 6 other quite wealthy and powerful men. One of them bought me a Picasso in the charity auction they held during the dinner. Ridiculous, really, especially as he then later lost it in a club we went to after the ball had finished. I think my own CEO was very proud of me though and considering he was without doubt the hottest guy there, that was very flattering. The night was without doubt the wierdest night of my life- three days later and I'm still remembering things and shaking my head in disbelief. Even Austin can't quite believe it- we're having a shopping and analysis/rehash trip today as she's visiting London this week.
H hasn't changed. He's still with the aubergine, still confused, still unable to let me go, still not realising that his own behaviour is confused (not that I point it out to him). I heard from a mutual friend this week that they (his friends) all think the aubergine is a psycho (he didn't say that lightly and felt bad about saying it). I was momentarily thrown as it was unexpected to have to discuss her/H, but it didn't change my resolve. I don't think H is going to change, and why would I want him to when I may be able to find myself an intelligent and powerful millionaire who likes some verbal swordplay.....
I think that's about it for now. Had a couple of job interviews last week, and a few offers of jobs from people at the party on Thursday, but I think my CEO may try to keep me with him too. I guess we'll see how things pan out over the next few weeks.
I hope you guys are all OK and will try to check in on you all this week.

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart. And you'll never walk alone.

Ok, that beats my falling off a boat story on my thread! I'm amazed at that. What was the picture like?
Lovely to see you back and I am not surprised you have gorgeous millionaires chasing you!
And your H is going to kick himself one day,thats for sure. It makes sense that she is a 'psycho', seeing as his own behaviour hasnt been that healthy, constantly vacillating and being indecisive, it is likely that she has some unhealthy hold over him, that its not just a clear case of love and he is happy. He'll pull himself out of it eventually I guess (by the time he hears about your wedding in Harpers Bazarre hey!)

Hi Lisa, good to see you post! Nothing dull or mundane in your life is there, it all sounds very up market.-wow. Enjoy it. Sooo I though January was some sort of deadline for you re H and his dilly dallying well with you at least, obviously not with the purple one if they are still together.Psycho-hmmm I have heard similar things about my X's new wife -yuck onetime OW.Just shows that the men we loved / love obviously have blinkers on and see other qualities. I find it incredible that normal intelligent men don't see what everyone else does-ah well love is blind so they say. Maybe they wear the super delux model of rose tinted specs. I hope life continues to get better and better for you and the job situation is resolved. My preference is for Ceo to make you an offer you can't refuse.A fabulous job with benefits. Good to see you post.
I can see that I'd better get over there qickl to save you from all those CEO types! I guess the good news is that you'd never have to worry about me buying you a Picasso and then losing it!
Not surprised that the dress was a hit! I had trouble breathing for hours once I was able to see it, and imagined you in it!

What a life you lead! I'm in awe....completely in awe. Seriously, a Picasso? Heavens! I've only seen them in museums, never up close and personal. He really lost it? Not, lost it in a card game as a wager, but actually misplaced it? How do you do that?
Keep updating on what you are doing. I'm sure you had a fab time with Austin shopping today. You'll have to post what you bought.

Well I wish I had been waitressing at THAT function! We used to nab bottles of left over champagne, or the petits fours, but I never snuck a picasso out along with my tips, lol.
So what were all these things that happened Thursday that you needed a pow wow with Austin about !?
I should say that the Picasso was not a big or famous one but it was very nice- sort of red, and blue. I was tipsy so didn't even get a proper look at it after the initial pointing out that it was the one I liked best (there was also a Matisse and some other stuff, but I wasn't paying attention as it was well out of my price range). I think he paid a few thousand pounds for it, but don't know exactly how much either. He took it with him to the club and then just forgot to pick it up or to check it into the cloakroom or something. I wasn't paying attention really (champagne effects), so as you can tell (Jeff!) being gifted that kind of thing doesn't really move me, although it makes an unusual story! I'm glad you liked the dress- when you visit I'll show it to you in real life.
There's snow here tonight. Austin and I ended up doing very little shopping and a lot of chatting/laughing over coffee and dinner- she's going back to Austin on Wednesday so we had a lot of talking to do.
naej- I've decided to file the D. It's been brewing for a while and I'm fine about it. No regrets.
Sunshine- we'll have to co-ordinate colours, and consult with the features editors of imaginary OK magazine on outfits. I'll keep you posted, although I guess as it's imaginary we can do what we want!
Good to see you all. It's late here so I'll try and catch up on threads this week.

Gosh! well if it only warrented one line I say good for you. I can't see why you would have any regrets either you have behaved with the utmost dignity and class. So my next question would be does Mr Ceo know? I am such a noisy person, please don't answer if you would rather not. Stay safe, weather is looking grim.
