One Man Banned Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I think I need a holiday. Early this morning, Joe and me decided to call it a day once and for all - we did try after our split a few weeks ago but it's just not happening. We both feel weird today but we came to the decision jointly so no-one's really to blame. Just a shame that after nearly seven years together the spark has sort of gone out. But, on a happier note.....I'm an uncle again!! 2215 last night the world welcomed Layla Louise at 6lb 13oz - why do I feel old So I'll be off to Wales tomorrow with card balloon and a big smile A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Sorry to hear that . At least you already gave it another go so you'll know it's the right thing to do. Shame after 7 years though. Great news about the new niece though - congratulations Uncle A . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfrock Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Sorry to hear the news . At least having tried for a second time, the rose tints will be off, and it won't be a 'what if' 'maybe we could'. God that sounds awful, but you know what I mean. So big, big hugs, and congratulations on the newbie in the family - a baby always brings such joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Sorry to hear that, but better to do it mutually and with dignity, than carry on and let things deteriorate. I hope the practical side of splitting up is not too complicated. Congratulations on becoming an uncle! Something marvellous about a new baby in the family - helps put everything in perspective.

One Man Banned Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thanks for the kind words. I have one nephew already but due to complications with the relationship with my brother and his ex I haven't seen him for 5 years (last time was his 2nd birthday party ) Hoping that this relationship lasts longer and I get to spoil this one rotten!!
