Still here, still buggering on.

I'm still trying to visit the summer house most days to see my neighbours, Steve is still following me over after a few minutes and sits glowering at me until I leave.

I've just walked Beano in the park, on Saturday's the park is full of dogs, Beano doesn't approve so we walk around the edges. The path to the park is very narrow so when we met a chap with a push chair, a bulldog and a very wet spaniel I stood between them and Beano and he watched them in silence fortunately!

Steve is about to remove the bathroom flooring yet again, it seems to be his latest hobby and is driving me mad. I'm at an age where I like to keep hydrated which means regular loo breaks. This is not permitted as walking on the floor is forbidden!

What with an antisocial dog and a difficult husband my life is not always full of joy. Therefore on dog walks that do not involve the park I find joy looking at the gardens I pass.

Find joy wherever you can. You deserve it.

I would definitely continue to use the loo - I would say to mine that I will call the police and Nhs if he stopped me - That I wouldn't allow - For me that would be him going too far - End of xx

So sorry for all your troubles. Somehow you have got to get out of this relationship. I’m sure you have thought of many ways how to do this but you must investigate further My fear is that he will turn violent You are are really resourceful - and must move in some way ASAP!! Kindest regards !

I expect he’s doing it deliberately to inconvenience you, I really don’t know how you stand it.

Long time follower. Don't comment much. Am amazed at your fortitude in living with Steve. An aside---- you have taught me many words over the years!
Words that are fun to know for a Texas "girl"! What made me comment today is the gall of "Anonymous" who assumes the right to tell you how to live your life. Two comments from "anonymous", both on the same track. Probably the same person. I don't know how you are able to put up with so much, but I certainly don't think I can tell you how to handle your situation. I do appreciate your sharing your life with me. Sometimes I take a lesson from you,

I wholeheartedly agree with this re the anonymous (cowardly!) comments above. How utterly presumptuous and entitled of them to TELL you what to do!

You are coping in the only way you can, try to ignore him at the summerhouse maybe he finds it hard to cope without you. Just try not to let him stand all over you, interrupt him to go the toilet. Sending lots of love, growing old is not easy.

Just keep on being you Sue and doing the things that you want to do and can managed. If it were me I would be visiting the bathroom twice as often as usual whenever the floor is being 'repaired'. But you have more patience than me. 🙂

BBQ in the garden.

Steve's in the garden, manning the BBQ, I did go over but the only seats left were in  the sun and it's 30 degrees. It's far too...
