Yes Andy does disrespect me. You'll be glad to know I have told him to stay outside the door from now on and that we won't be having a friendship. I already came to the consclusion that I don't want that for my future.
At least with all his messing about, he gave me the storyline of a life time for my book, and that's the only positive in all this. Maybe also he had these traits before but I missed them because I was in love with him, so maybe he has done me a favour.
My life is actually taking a different turn at the moment and I have lots of good things happening.
I've also planned a girl's night out on 25 January which is only about the 3rd time I've had a night out in 4 years. I go out in the day lots, but because of DD4, hardly ever in the evening. I'm so excited that I finally found the confidence. I'm going to meet up with a friend and then she'll introduce me to a whole group of people I've never met.
I've booked up my birthday, too. It isn't till April, but being on my own and with Andy's games, I find things go easier if I pre-plan everything like the military, so I've arranged to go to this town called Thorsby and they've got a huge Sunday Market on, on my birthday so me and DD4 will go there and I'll get myself some birthday presents. Andy can't spoil it if we're not around.
I've (provisionally) got a date to go with to my friend's wedding, so I am feeling great about everything at the moment and to be honest, haven't thought about Andy much these last couple of weeks.
