(note he&#8217;s not an ass hole or a prick, what he did was super wrong but hey&#8230; you get my frustration with myself!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new guy is 31, super attractive, somewhat kinky, wants to have a quieter life and is very interested in the Isle of Man (and has been there a few times), single, has a dog and loves travel &#8211; so on paper this is fantastic&#8230; he&#8217;s also a plumber and runs his own business&#8230; so what the fuck is holding me back! I should be taking a week off and spending it in MK with this guy&#8230; or dragging him to Germany with me next week for this work trip and using some of the 1m air miles, yet I am not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think it&#8217;s because tomorrow would be 7 years since me and my ex first messaged each other so I am thinking about him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no route to ever get back with my ex, and I don&#8217;t think I would want to as I am not sure I could ever trust him again &#8211; though my parents are worried that if he came back I would crumble and take him back in an instant&#8230; mum even asked me not to do it a few nights ago&#8230; though she appreciated I will do what I want to do anyway, and urged me to remember how he treated me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t harbour any bad feeling against him, though I am annoyed we can&#8217;t be friends, and I do worry he is ok &#8211; even though its not for me to worry about him (so says Nick the shrink). God knows why I want to look after people but I seem to do it a lot.. and like Nick also pointed out&#8230; who the fuck is looking after me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe I should start putting on my profile how much money is in my bank and seeing how many more people want to date me \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I went on a couple of dates, one guy I had two dates with &#8211; and he&#8217;s a lovely guy!
