Need help from my Glasto friends

Hi, Hope all are well and looking forward to Spring and Summer. I have been my wifes carer for 13 years and although I live in a lovely part of Devon with 5 acres of land my heart is in Aylesbury. In December my wife and I seperated and I went to stay with a "friend" in Aylesbury. We have known each other for years and used to live together 40 years ago and we found each other again aand tried living together. It lasted 9 weeks. My friend has lived on her own for 15 years and after about 5 weeks she found it hard sharing her space wih someone, so I came back to Devon in February. We still want to be with each other, but in seperate abodes and see each other a few times a week. Do I leave and go where my heart is or do I think ok we tried but did not work and stay in devon. it is very strained as you can imagine being back home with my wife.

Any thoughts will be gratefully received.

I wonder if Neil will take this off.

Peace & Love to you all

Only thing i would say is this, if you are not happy in Devon don`t stay there. it should not be a case of staying with your wife because staying with your friend did`nt work out. if your hearts not in Devon with your wife the only fair thing to do is to move out and see where that takes you. (i realiase that it may be a practical thing but you must try)

why is everything i type got a line through it ?????

Sorry to hear the difficult situation the three of you are in.

Other people can offer advice, but in the end you'll make up your own mind.

Someone once said to me the person you should marry (they were quite traditional) is not the one you think you can live with, but the one you can't live without.

Small children often ask the most deceptively simple but effective question - "Why?"

I would ak yourself the same question after each of your statements e.g. "I have been my wife's carer for 13 years" - why? "In December we separated" - Why? etc.

Hopefully you'll come up with your own answers.

Good luck - not an easy one.

Sorry to hear your story. It's a tough one :-(

Go with your heart, but with a lot of thought. It's exciting meeting someone from years ago, but won't always work out in the long run. Of course you care for your wife, and it will be super tough leaving, but you have done it once, so could do it again.

My Dad left my Mum 5 or so years ago, after 45 years of marriage and he moved in with a 'friend' who he had known from school. They are now married and seem happy. I was so annoyed with him at first, but life moves on and I despite all the heartache he caused I would rather he was happy (and they both are now) - than was miserable

Maybe neither are right for you, but sounds like your 'friend' is where you heart is- you just need to balls to jump !

There is very little actual point to life. Most of it is just wasting time until you die, the older you get the more valuable each happy remaining day is likely to be and this value cannot be calculated as all of this could just end for any of us tomorrow.

Grasp what happiness you can, is what I am getting at, as sitting around thinking about what's best is just wasting time, time that events may one day lead you to regret wasting.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play.

They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
