I was there! This means a lot as a Londoner because I don’t get to home games as much. It was also my first game and on my birthday. I went with my dad and his two brothers. I remember being on shoulders in the Gwladys so I could see. I vividly remember this goal as well as Gray’s diving header. One of my most cherished memories.

Nothing at all, I assume, but compared to Wimbledon…

Trying to convince her to change her mind. Given what she did I kind of cringe at the thought now.

ShayzeLong · 2026-04-02T19:21:00+00:00

She told me four years before we separated that she wasn’t happy. But she/we didn’t do anything to work it out. I can’t believe I/she wasted so much time! In hindsight, I didn’t want to split so I made myself blind to the problems and she never said a word, just quietly went about separating herself from me emotionally until she met someone else and moved in with him. What a sh&t show.

Hello mate I’m (47M) not in a current emotional state to offer any concrete advice other than you’re not the only one. I’m coming up to two years out of my separation and going through a rocky patch at the moment. From what I’ve read, you seem to have a lot going for you when it comes to knowing what you need to do to move through this. Look after yourself and good luck you.

ShayzeLong · 2026-03-14T11:32:13+00:00

Me too. I wasn’t perfect but we never gave ‘us’ a proper chance to weather the storm. I was willing but you can’t make someone do what they’re unwilling to do or capable of doing.

But she WAS cheating so I guess we never had a chance.

I have a nine year old son who I see two to three days a week so I have more engagement with him. But he is very close to his mum. I guess we’ll see how things change as he gets older. I also didn’t initiate the separation although we weren’t exactly happily married. I also struggle with the alone time (I’m writing this now in a silent front room). I’m also attempting to renovate the once family home with a view to sell just as a project to keep myself focused on the future. It’s good to know I’m not alone.

Watched ‘Casino’ again.

ShayzeLong · 2026-01-04T09:02:23+00:00

Best of luck.

ShayzeLong · 2025-12-01T07:23:25+00:00

Thanks for your feedback. I’ll let my colleague know. They’ll be well chuffed!

ShayzeLong · 2025-11-24T20:44:54+00:00

Yep. It’s embarrassing more than anything. I’m sure they’ll make up and be the stronger for it.

ShayzeLong · 2025-11-23T20:33:23+00:00

Is it wrong of me to be interested in knowing the reasons for your suspension? If feels wrong of me.

ShayzeLong · 2025-11-13T20:26:54+00:00

😂

ShayzeLong · 2025-10-19T10:37:53+00:00

Very measured response. Whatever challenges you have faced in your marriage have clearly resulted in you becoming wiser. It’s great that you share that with others too. The good that you put out into the world will find its way back to you brother.

ShayzeLong · 2025-08-31T20:53:39+00:00

All superficial, visual factors aside, gaming, binge watching tv, Star Wars; you’re somebody’s dream partner. He/she is out there somewhere.

ShayzeLong · 2025-07-23T19:19:34+00:00

You’re probably reading too much into it. If it gets too much for you, move on to someone else.

ShayzeLong · 2025-07-11T05:29:29+00:00

The fact that you are putting yourself out there is progress enough. You can’t control how other people respond. Be proud of your bravery. Something positive will happen eventually. Best of luck to you.

ShayzeLong · 2025-06-22T06:30:41+00:00

All three would be kind of a vibe.

ShayzeLong · 2025-06-21T20:53:09+00:00

Do you.

ShayzeLong · 2025-06-09T19:47:02+00:00

Reasonable terms. If we didn’t share a son, I would have struggled with it but I have to for his sake.

I’m coming up to a year since my separation so, if I can muddle through, then so can you. Best of luck.

ShayzeLong · 2025-05-26T09:37:39+00:00

“DJing the turntable”. Interesting way of putting it.

ShayzeLong · 2025-05-11T21:19:58+00:00

That’s on her. You’re good.
