    Annoying Sounds

    Certain sounds make me flinch and cover my ears. Kids high pitched squealing, banging of coffee making equipment in cafes, plates & cutlery banging on metal tables, bottles in Wetherspoons etc being chucked into big bottle bin. Somebody was playing castanets the other day in same room as me and...

    Any trick when feeling down?

    I find walking helps - a decent distance, at least an hour, but longer if you can, whether country or town.

    How to keep the love going

    Haven't told anybody what to think or what opinions they can and can't give, nor what to feel. All I asked, with reasons given, was for people not to be unkind. Of course if people choose to carry on and be unkind anyway, that's up to them and there's nothing I can do about it and didn't say...

    How to keep the love going

    Hi. An update. He did show up on the walk and he was as sweet as could be. There were things he said and did that he just wouldn't have done if he was just putting up with me. We both mixed with others all day, talking about lots of different things. Sensed he was gradually coming out of his...

    How to keep the love going

    OK, thank you. All good and helpful advice and cautionary tales are good because they will help me focus on myself and protect myself. There is something that many people don't quite get: I don't want a partner and don't want what most people call a 'relationship'. I have had many offers and...

    How to keep the love going

    Hi. There have been lots of replies and I don't seem to be getting email alerts any more. I don't feel I can respond to every single point made, but I thank you for all your thoughts. No, I wouldn't dream of sending multi messages. I stop at two. I do understand I need to try to stand back and...

    How to keep the love going

    Hi Judge, Just a thought, but I should be seeing him in person on 6th Jan, on a group walk. It'll be a huge group, so easy to get him on his own. Should I speak to him - really nicely and gently I mean -about the emailing? Like, could I ask him if I am being too intense, and ask him what sort of...

    Yes, you are right. I need to protect myself from heartbreak, but try at the same time to do my best for him. I'll keep you posted.

    OK. Thanks. I will try to trust him. Well, I do trust him 100%. The continual silences are going to take a lot of getting used to. Thanks a lot though.
