I was thinking we haven't really got a thread to discuss our other halves.
Thought we could have a thread to tell everyone about our bsf/gfs/husband/wives.
Also we could use to to vent out frustrations out when they're driving us crazy! Or to just let everyone know when they've done something lovely and made us all happy.
So yeah - love em or hate em, he's a thread for our other halves! :D
Ah how sweet... Have to say I am totally blessed with my other half. He is sweet kind and considerate.. never angry, never argue.. and loves me for me which is all any one can ask.. I hear my mum and sister complaining all the time about their husbands and each time I think "I am so lucky".. I tell him this everyday cause it is always nice to hear you are loved and wanted... I love my baby :wub::wub:
awww Siobhan bless! thats made me go all squee! i think this thread is a lovely idea personally!
ok so well i might aswell tell you all about my other half! :D
he's called Nick and he's 17 and hes half Swedish! he is so so so gorgeous, but whats best about him is his amazing personality, he is so kind, caring, considerate, affectionate and sensative :)
growing up has been hard for me, coming to terms with my sexuality, it hasnt been easy, but i feel as if having Nick now has made it all worth while. he is just simply amazing, and we haven't known each other for too long but we know we love one another, and it's come to the point where we cant imagine ourselves ever being apart from one another. squeee!!!! :D:heart: :wub:
Mines?
He is the most sarcastic moody guy ive ever known. We argue constantly, doesnt help that we work together, dont think we have actually gone a full week without falling out about something lol
But i love him (or cant get rid of him lol)
My friends have always said that i would need a guy who was able to take on my sarcastic tones....and i guess ive met my match!!!
at least you can never say things are boring eh Lee? love comes about in different ways, it doesnt always have to be hearts and flowers and stuff, as long as your happy :)
lol nope never boring in this house.Quote:

I don't mind relationships in the workplace as long as everything is kept professional and there's no special treatment for the one who is a lower grade (if there is one. There's no need for outright flirting, sex on desks etc.
I do see why you don't want your colleagues to know you're seeing this guy. How have you kept it secret if you live together?
A few people do know about it but he is higher up than me and as you said i dont want people thinking that there is any special treatment. He's not my manager but i do need to work with him at some points.Quote:

TBH i just cant be bothered with all the gossip that would start about it.
He doesnt think its a big deal but still goes along with it.
Given that the majority of relationships start in the workplace I dont have a problem with it.Quote:

As for the workplace thing.. I have no problem with it either, since I'm kind of in the same boat.
We're not actually going out, but we've got a thing going on, only 1 person in work knows about it, and we keep work and the "relationship" completely seperate, and I make sure I don't get preferential treatment, because he;s our assistant manager.
Ive been with mine for 15 years now he helps around the house with us both working and we love each other to blinking pieces
You lucky people!
Nice to read all your great stories
I have no other half to write about :( But you all give me hope!
Well I am currently young, free and single! haha, if it happens it happens but at the moment im happy just going out, having a laugh etc :D
That is how I met my current partner and 5 years later and we have a beautiful son and are very happyQuote:

we've been together officially for about 8 months but it kinda started a few months bfore
When I first start seen my partner I didn't tell anyone or want anyone to know as I was his TL.. but he eventually moved to another team and I got pregnant so I couldn't hide it anymore. I didn't want the gossip either as you said, some think there is special favours... Now people barely know we are seen each other as I only deal with him on a professional bases.. I have seen couples in here snogging and been touchy feely with each other.. that is not me.. I am here to work.
I'm impressed as usually those kinds of relationships are hard to keep quiet in a workplace! You have done very well. So if no one knows at work or only a selected few do how do you cope with heading out together at the weekends or days off?
I've taken this approach now. Some of the relationships my friends have just made me realise how annoying other halves can be and how much hassle can be involved.Quote:

So I am no longer actively looking. I am just sitting back, relaxing and enjoying life. :) I do enjoy my own company and having time to myself. I like reading, writing, just doing whatever - if I had a partner, I guess I'd have to sacrifice some of these things to accomodate them and I can't be bothered to do that, if I am being completely honest.
So yeah, I am just seeing where life takes me... no point in actively looking anymore.
I can't believe I actually wasted my time but I think I've grown up now and have calmed down a bit..
... but aside from this, I do think all these stories of you guys being together is very sweet and good luck to all of you :)
I'm glad you've realised who you are now and have had the courage to be honest. I hope your new relationship works out for you :thumbsup:Quote:

Maybe im just being too sensitvie about it but just dont want people knowing my business.
Obviously if things were to get anymore serious like siobhan then we'd need to tell people
I don't think your being too sensitive Luna. I would be the same to be honest. It's your own personal business, so nobody else has a right to know, unless you want them too :)
I agree with Davey - Luna your business is your business :p
I'm in a relationship, very early days only been going out a few weeks - only known each other about a month and a half! Met on holiday and we hit it off right away, he really is a perfect match for me! He understands my humour and sarcasm - and is excalty the same! Unfortunately he lives in Manchester and i live here in the midlands - so we're 2 1/2 hours away which is horrible, but we've seen each other every single weekend, even more than that. And another one of my friends is starting a relationship with one of the other manchester guys - so we both need to go up and with two of us petrol will be less :p As of yet the distance thing isn't really a problem - its just annoying! But we'll see :)
long distance can work if you like the person enough, one of my friends from the midlands has been with her boyfriend from manchester for about 3 years now! long distance can be hard at times, as im learning with Nick, but i know i can work becuase i care for him so much. i have regular contact with him when im not with him in person so i dont miss him too much.Quote:
