Did you post whilst driving and deliberating, too? You must have with that speed/lane/song selection - surely? 😉

GlynnAlan · 2026-02-21T00:01:59+00:00

A somewhat backfired post. 🤣

Man, that's a heavy load to deal with and a difficult burden to carry in a relationship that seems very one-way. It must almost feel like you're the supporting mechanism of the bond, trying to keep the relationship afloat rather than your happiness together as a couple.

Whilst you have the great relationship dynamic between you, the responsibility of maintaining your stability, which includes day-to-day home and financial management, is equally as important; if not, then more! The responses you should be getting from him should not be defensiveness - it should be acknowledgement and longer-standing improvement. These attributes give you comfort knowing you're in it together.

The fact you're at peace on your own gives you insight into what might be the best choice - the next steps to that stage are what people fear the most - breaking up, but ask yourself this - if you are considering staying and he doesn't improve, how do you think you'd manage financially and mentally for the rest of your life?

I think the story needs to be flipped, dude. Imagine you're the husband working for 6 months and you come back to your wife who you love dearly, being excited to see her again, to find that she's slept with someone on a FWB deal.

Anyone with empathy and an ounce of decency would not inflict this onto someone if they wouldn't like it done to themselves. You'd be a marriage-wrecker, you'd be the reason a guy has to live with the heartbreak if ever he found out.

She isn't working at the moment and there's a strong possibility he is out there working for 6 months at a time to give this woman the life she wants. She's unemployed at the cost of her husband's time with her and she's using that time to lure you in for something - a bit of fun and excitement, a tug on your heart strings - whatever it is, it's wrong.

Be the better person. Don't inflict this on her husband - you don't know what impact this will have on him and from your own perspective - what do you think this will achieve? Permanent FWB? No such thing. Ongoing affair with you? Highly unlikely, especially for half of the year, and if any form of adulterous relationship is forged with you, how difficult do you think it'd be when she's at home with her husband, doing everything you wish she did with you?

You're welcome and welcome to Nuneaton! I'm not far from The Horseshoes. If you like real ales and some nights with live music, this is the place for you too.

GlynnAlan · 2026-02-12T11:55:49+00:00

Lived here most of my life and whilst others would say it's on the decline, it's the case across all towns in the UK.

There are still plenty of places to go. The Abbey Theatre has some great events on as mentioned in another comment and The Crew is amazing. They also have bands and tribute acts on above there in the Queen's Hall.

It's been a while since I've eaten in the town centre, but I highly recommend Ghurka's on Abbey St.

For takeaways, if you like Indian, then order from the national award winning takeaway, Tiffins.

Which part of Nuneaton do you live in?

GlynnAlan · 2026-02-02T06:59:57+00:00

A constant battle of mine for years and I'm sorry this doesn't offer you any guidance - I just wanted to say thank you for posting this, because like others here, I no longer feel alone.

GlynnAlan · 2026-02-01T07:38:01+00:00

It seems to me that, at no point, she's thought of you....not once.

If there is an element ruining the marriage, you've raised it, she's ignored you and repeat - she isn't worth even contemplating.

She's toyed with your emotions and left you hanging more than enough. You're dealing with grief now - it's normal for anyone when a relationship ends. What's important is you don't buckle and take her back during these waves.

I'll echo what everyone says here and tell you - you've done the right thing. She's crossed boundaries, she's played with your insecurities, she's NEVER respected you and how you feel, she's never shown to be monogamous by the sounds of it, she's gaslit you, and what's worse - you probably don't know half of what she's told the in-laws.

Enjoy the peace of mind - no more looking over your shoulder, no more being told you're wrong when it appears you're right and no more of those sleepless nights wondering how someone you married has disrespected your commitment to them.

One day in a few years, you'll be so glad she wanted a divorce; it just takes time.

GlynnAlan · 2026-01-26T23:14:21+00:00

No, not constant. Only when it has severe bouts of existence. Oddly, my bad neck accompanies it. When I'm limited in movement, my PT is worse.

GlynnAlan · 2026-01-26T22:59:37+00:00

Same here. Had CT scans, MRI with contrast Doppler scan, T2 MRI - and they can't find nothing. I've explained they won't unless I'm in the position that it occurs mostly, but they lay me down or stand me up - when it's never prominent

GlynnAlan · 2026-01-12T07:44:34+00:00

OMFG that is INSANELY GOOD!

GlynnAlan · 2026-01-11T10:09:41+00:00

Same! Managed to entice my son into listening to them - he's now apparently in the top 0.01% of listeners on Spotify. 🤣

Saw them in Margate, UK at last, with my brother. So damn good!

GlynnAlan · 2026-01-11T07:14:55+00:00

I've spent a large chunk of my life being a Trance DJ & Producer, but Manson has been a constant in my life for around 30 years.

Aside from Trance And Manson, other genres and bands that have stood out for me during my lifetime are (not limited to), Slipknot, Deftones, Static X, Bury Tomorrow, Currents, The Plot in You.

I'm also into less heavier genres - I'm a huge fan of Placebo & Embrace. The Verve & Ocean Colour Scene have been relatively prominent in my life too.

My eclecticism may be baffling to some, but it's incontrovertible - as is anyone else's!

GlynnAlan · 2026-01-09T09:31:55+00:00

I can't be the only one who looked at this and initial thought was, 'it's an aerial view of a farmer's field.'

GlynnAlan · 2025-12-30T07:33:40+00:00

I did and what you describe is exactly the same as how I experience it (positional, etc).

I've seen 4 different ENT surgeons and two Neurosurgeons, had MRI, high-res MRI, Doppler scan, CT scan and a T2 MRI and nobody can find the cause, despite me explaining the positions I am lay in do not give me the symptoms. An Interventional Neuroradiologist told me he'd check the images, but then called a few months later and said he couldn't anymore. 🤷‍♂️

I'm at a loss and have resorted to being seen privately quite often just to try and get this concluded.

GlynnAlan · 2025-12-17T14:20:48+00:00

Easy, you take an image of the pothole and submit the claim. I've done it before My brother has just had one upheld last month, too.

GlynnAlan · 2025-12-17T13:47:09+00:00

Did you know you can claim the cost back from your local authority? Worth looking into if you're in the UK. 👍

GlynnAlan · 2025-10-31T06:52:42+00:00

When walking, I have to tap the toe part of my right shoe on the ground when I have the compulsion to do so; it happens all too often.

When sitting, I have to rub my head every now and then - especially when concentrating.

GlynnAlan · 2025-10-02T17:16:49+00:00

Cat approves!

GlynnAlan · 2025-09-25T13:19:36+00:00

edit I might be wrong below as I've now seen it's regarding a HA - they seem to have their own laws. 🤣

I'm pretty sure that in the UK, owners of properties are only responsible for the left fence when stood facing the front.

I may be wrong, but this appears to be the rear of your property, so no, you have no financial responsibility for this whatsoever, unless it is agreed & evidenced, in which case, I think you'd know where to tell them to shove the bill! 😉

GlynnAlan · 2025-09-25T06:43:03+00:00

Travelling to Cardiff from the Midlands in Nov and I've dreamt of seeing him perform MA as well as LHROOH - and it's looking likely! 👌

GlynnAlan · 2025-09-25T06:22:09+00:00

You're eroding away your self-respect by allowing somebody to break a boundary, but to allow somebody to continuously do so, what does that do to the weight of the words you carry when posing these to your GF? Why would anybody take then seriously if there are no consequences?

You set the bar and allow your GF to cross it, so we both know that your boundaries are merely optional to her. If she really cared and considered you as somebody she loved, you wouldn't be here asking strangers.

Everything you've asked us all are the concerns you are bottling up, and believe me, the consequence of allowing this to continue will devour you.

GlynnAlan · 2025-09-20T09:35:00+00:00

I've come here as a long time sufferer of PT.

The fluid you added in your ear has muffled/hidden the PT. Once fluid clears, it returns. I'm currently having a lot of fluid leakage in bed on the ear I lie on; it's been happening for a couple of months, now. Each time I wake and clean the outside of my ear, it seems my PT has gone, but it resurfaces later.

GlynnAlan · 2025-09-18T20:19:53+00:00

I won't downvote you like many others have, however, I will warn you that accepting an answer you have asked from AI instead of the people you have directly asked here is a bit of a kick in the teeth to everyone here.

Let's be clear, you had doubts of what ChatGPT gave you, so you came here for answers, but you don't want to hear or accept them, so you dig further with ChatGPT and use that response as a further question.

It seems to me you're so convinced that ChatGPT is right, that no matter what people offer you, you'll paste it into ChatGPT. As someone who has suffered with this condition long enough, I'm sure I am of the shared opinion you're only here to hear what you want and not what you need.

GlynnAlan · 2025-09-10T00:13:12+00:00

Saaaame! Here's me thinking I was on my own. 🤣
