    Life can turn on a sixpence mate - it's all to easy for things to go into a downward spiral from a seemingly trivial incident.

    All happened with me when I made an attempt to patch up my failing marriage by going on a big charm offensive to win my wife back round. Will never forget that day - I was sat at work all day planning it all out, you know push the boat out a bit and do something special that evening.

    So I went down to Morrisons and got one of those Old El Paso taco kits. Refried beans, sour cream, guacamole - the works. Then I got a nice bit of steak mince to season up with the fajita spices I got with the taco shells.

    Sorted.

    Not only would I be turning my marriage around, I thought, I might even be getting my leg over for the first time in weeks.

    How wrong could I have been... Bloody cow chose the moment I lit the candles to tell me she'd decided to go on the 5:2 diet and this was one of her fast days. It was a total lie and it was done out of pure spite (she'd already put away a box of Ferrero Rochers that afternoon 'cos I'd found all the wrappers along with the empty bottle of Sheridans that she thought I didn't know about) and I flew into a total rage and redecorated the kitchen with mincemeat and Louisana Hot Sauce.

    Rancid old witch. That was 2 years ago and thanks to her I still get triggered whenever I go anywhere near the world food section of the local supermarket and can't get out of bed for days.

    So, believe me, you're not on your own - many of us out there in a similar boat so keep your chin up.
    Lol - superb

      Are you grief whores really taken in by this crap?

      The OP was bad enough to get you morons doing your best "International Rescue" impression, what now, are you all going to boycott the world foods sections of your local supermarkets?

        How far do people in Manchester have to go to find world foods? Anything other than pizza and chips seems a push judging from their skin colour. Or maybe its the diseases coming off the canals?

          So, when exactly did you lose your sense of humour? Was it when you found the used condom, or when you realised that your wife liked it up the arse; just not with you?

            I disagree with your post. Lost sense of humour? When did Zig have one?

              He's never had a sense of humour. Big chip yes, humour no.

                    Can be like school playground in here, but the amount of posters offering help to the OP. Truly gladdens the soul.


                    Ignore the cynics. Lots of good people out there.

                    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
