That sucks

Thanks for the sympathy.

I had no idea about the VWP when I drunkenly booked my ticket to the States. When one books on line a different name comes up. Anyways I thought a had a visa which I could extend due to hospitalisations. More fool me.

Run out of plus 1s.

Never seen the show but have heard about it through cultural refs.

( I have dated many older men hence have had to google / research lots of stuff to keep up with the conversations;))

I shop everyday. Wise or foolish???

That was my favorite show as a kid.

If you've got the time, why not. In my wife's country, picking up meats, fruits and veggies is pretty much a daily event, as many don't have fridges and those that do tend to have very small ones. In the USA, life is just too busy it seems to get out daily to shop for those things. We pretty much go every two weeks or so, picking up a few things in between major shopping trips. But when we major shop, its the American grocery, the Asian Grocery and the Filipino Grocery. It would be impossible to do that daily.

pom pom is being clingy....so funny...she has me rock her around as she is sleeping on my shoulder. Yes I am a sucker and no I dont mind cause she is adorable and I got about 2 weeks left with her.

Awww... that's cute

She feels you're about to leave and wants to leave with you

but I don't like frozen meat.

I don't know any guys that like getting it frozen either.

I know !! She totally does.... Oh well she is stuck with MIL meaning FIL in reality which is not bad at all. She will be in good hands when he is not working and hubs will play with her.

speaking of which...he just messaged telling me he will make an effort now to talk to me.....uhm....only took 10 months for him to say he will make effort ? Because he feels the end is near ? Won't really bother listening to me when I tell him but when poo hits the fan or is about to...he wants to make things work. grrrr

Here the shops are open until late. Some supermarkets are open 24hrs a day. So even if I finish work at 9pm I have to shop. Your wife must miss not going shopping daily.

I spent some time back in the UK with my mother and was shocked that she only shopped once a week. The Brit diet ain't healthy!!

It's possible he's suddenly realized he has failed... but not likely. More likely is that he has finally figured out you don't care as much anymore. I would tell him, when you can talk to me in person without sending an email or text first, I may think about it. After all, I'm in the same damn house! Until then, keep your wet noodle comments et al to yourself.

I told him I was no longer open to communicating and to leave it for now since I am relocating soon and to give us space to think because right now any attempts to talk to me will not end well and I do not want to hurt him by responding in an unloving way and that I wish he had spoken to me months ago then I would have been happy that he is trying but now...no. Is how I feel, cannot help it.

It's not the first time you said he e-mailed/messaged you about something instead of just speaking face to face.

And I'm like: dude! Stop writing/comunicating via computer and start talking like normal people do, at last!

I remember the time when the stores back home would be open mo-fri and then saturday for 3 hours and that is it, now everything is open 24/7 or the big stores anyways. The town my parents come from though still has the same opening hours as in the past....the store barely carries apples though so I dont blame them.

He waited a little too long with this one...but who knows...maybe distance will help...*throws hands into the air*

Yeah, and I guess it's a man's thing to bother you/not give you time when you already told him you're busy/focused on something else/fed up with all that ######.

it just finally hit him that I was not kidding when I sent all those emails and that i was not going to be a push over who will just take it. That was his belief...he told me I was soft and not that kind of person so he never thought I would actually just say....thats it enough. He miss calculated...I am nice but there is a limit.

Failure is his biggest fear so you are right....he sees that yet again he is failing and wants to quickly fix it before everyone around him finds out and he will feel like a loser. He cares more about what people around him will say then anything else.

Men marry women hoping they will not change.

Hello, he married an intelligent University program director, not some meek soft spoken church mouse who he can manipulate at his whims and fancy

My wife would send her employees to the store with a list of things she needed for the daily shopping

Somehow I think he married a figment of his imagination and didn't realize there was a real person there that didn't fit with his imaged image. I think we all do at some level, but time teaches us who they really are.

And women marry men expecting they'll change them, but they can't.
