We do have some great panel / comedy shows. If you haven't already, try the BBC Radio 4 comedy ones too. Just a minute, I'm sorry I haven't a clue et al. Really quite irreverend at times.

HI DavidAndre52 and everyone else. Welcome to the forum. Christmas Eve wouldn't work for me I'm afraid, but a weekday evening, more central London would :-)

Plenty of adults on here. I'm definitely an adult most of the time (although id like to sometimes be a teen again), and I like to do what comes naturally to adults. As well as the things done best in pairs (or more, but sometimes solo), it also includes gaming and the word games on here are...

Are any London-based folks (resident or workers) up for a meet up? Most likely a group and a central London public place as a venue - maybe a pub??

You're very welcome. We are here for you. I hope you can find the strength to do what you need to do. In the meantime reach out to as many people and organisations in your neighbourhood as you can.

Sliding Doors

Manic Street Preachers

His hold on you is all part of the abuse, convincing you that it is your fault and you need him. It isn't and you don't. Write all the abusive comments, threats, name-calling and rages down and get the hell out of there to a place of safety.. Whilst you no doubt love your pets, you must...

Don't call the police - yet. Make a written record of all those things that he does or say to you like that. Then get the hell out of there and to a refuge for abused partners / women / men. You don't deserve this. You deserve a peaceful loving life.

Good on you Miriam. The important part in your post is the "without the abusive boyfriend". It sounds to me that you'd be better off without him - but as you say, its a long story and you will have your reasons for sticking with him.

I use an app called MeWe. Like Facebook, but without the ads. They make their money from selling extra private chats.

Have you got any close female friends or your parents you can talk to?

ship shape

I feel for you - and shame on your boyfriend for not doing his job better. I really don't know what to advise, other than talk to him again, and again, about how you feel. If that doesn't work, then I suggest you're better off without him But keep hanging in there - we're all here to chat and...

Lovin' the members on this forum Really hoping I don't bore them

Sorry to hear your situation, Didou. Counselling might well help, as might as discussion with your Doctor. Have you talked to your boyfriend about your feelings? And yes, hang in there. Things will get better.

Good point Callie. It is simple, but not easy all the time. The temptation is often there to just indulge oneself with an extra beer or to not run that day. And for some, time is often a constraint both in food choices and exercise.

Killing Joke

Hmmm, I took an unhelpful detour with the Oprah thing....but before i get back to the weight loss business, it those that think of overweight people as 'lacking self control' have the problem, not the target of their rather unhelpful thoughts. But back to weight loss. The point was that...

Don't most men exaggerate about the number of inches one can expect?
