Cool Bloody hell Dianne x

I will call u tomorrow for a chat hun x
U really have done the RIGHT thing !
When we met a few months ago u was unsure , and unsettled at the fact of moving to Ians area .
And rightly so hun , I wud not leave my home to feel vunerable and scared !
NOT A CHANCE HUN !
I think u need time to figure out the REAL Dianne !
live your life how u want to , u dont get a re-run , and u have been very brave in addressing these issues u have within , which is obviously unsettling and stressing u out .
Like Nicole I have been single for almost 6 years and Im happy , although I miss male company at times I WONT SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST !
I will also hold out for my prince !
My mum always said : MEN ARE LIKE BUSES ! WAIT LONG ENOUGH AND ANOTHER WILL COME ALONG
Joking aside I will call u for a chat tomorrow , take care and remember ITS YOUR LIFE .
And who the hell do they think they are saying u could have done better
Bloody hell u have done AMAZING , I have seen u you are a true inspiration .
bloody idiots eh
NITE NITE
Sas xxxx

Normally, I would be inclined to say that I was sorry to hear about breaking the engagement off, but in this case I say "congratulations". How many times do we go down the wrong path in life because we do not want to deal with the emotions, disappointments, guilt, etc. You didn't do that. You considered what you want in life, what you deserve, what Ian deserves, and made a well thought out, responsible decision. Good for you!
here here!

You will be so much happier taking your time and rationalizing things your in my thoughts

Dianne, you and I have talked about your up-coming wedding several times. I have to be honest with you. I really think you are making the right decision. You are a strong woman to look your feelings in the face. It's ok to put your needs and feelings first. You haven't seemed happy in a very long time and I think you need to take this time to discover what you want for yourself. You have to love who you are before you can truly love another and I'm so proud of you because you have realized that.

In regards to what the doctor said? Well don't listen to him, dear lady! You have done AWESOME!! Don't minimize your success and don't allow that doctor to minimize it either. Stand proud! You hear me? I know I'm proud of you and I'm sure there are many others that are too.

Unhappy Hello again

Good Morning to everyone

Well after an awful night and the stresses of me ending my relationship with Ian completey I am feeling worse now than ever.

I know that deep in my heart I have done the right thing but Ian took it so hard and was gutted he told me he never saw that coming and begged me to try again and offered to do so many things different.

I didnt weaken, but it detressed me so much to see Ian so upset after all we have had 8 months together and not spent a day apart and you cant turn your feelings off just like that.

::BIG HUGS::

I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this. I've been there before, called off my wedding and the guy said he didn't see it coming either. It is hard, but if you have such serious doubts then it is the right thing to do for now. I know you will find what you need in your life, it just might take a little longer. Lots of good thoughts coming your way from me. Take care.

I know this was hard but girl there is someone out there that will be just what you need and I really dont think he is it.... all the things I have read you are such a bright spot.. and he is not.... seems you need someone ready to get out there and live life.... and I think you should have that.... you are a beautiful person and deserve happiness. and as far as the doc........ yeah whatever............I would have just been like ok see ya next time and walked out .... you are doing great ... and from what I see not only are you blossoming phsyically but mentally .... keep up the good work...

Smile I am so pleased to get these supportive emails

Hello

I have just had another bout of crying and thought while I am dried eyed I would read these wonderful messages of support.

I think that when you know you had such intense feeling for someone it is hard to stop the hurt you feel for them and the pain they are going through.

I am going to start from this moment on to start a new train of thought and look forward to a new life. My sons have just planned a birthday night out for me at our local bowling alley and I will make sure I have fun after all I am going to be 49 and this is the last year I ever be forty something lol

If I can keep this upbeat for the rest of the day I will be so pleased and am going to take the dog out now and then try to eat something for the first time in 4 days.

your emails and messages have made me feel so cared about thank you so much
