Love / In love with polish cleaning woman, but don't speak an OUNCE of polish :( [57]

Try getting yourself onto a part-time Polish course :0)

Love / Polish mens attitude to the English female and sex-the catholic influence [13]


An interesting point. My Polish ex certainly held that view - work abroad for a few years, get drunk, get laid with as much variety as possible, and then go back home to get married to the lovely girl mummy and daddy have chosen for him.

Life / Contraception methods in Poland [14]

LOL, funny... apparently according to the Polish people I know you can obtain the contraceptive pill but you have to pay for it.. am I correct?

Love / why wont he communicate? going crazy [90]


Maybe you've hit the nail on the head Okay, if he's back home now then he doesn't "need" to depend on you anymore. Whereabouts in Poland is he and do you know much about his family?

Love / why wont he communicate? going crazy [90]

Not sure what to advise here. I guess only Okay really knows what went on between them, but I know if I was in her shoes I would probably cease trying to make contact with him and allow him to initiate the contact. I think if someone truly cares for you then they will contact you somehow, whether that be phone, fax, letter or carrier pigeon. I have been in a similar situation and I lost my dignity and pride chasing and chasing, only to be hurt by the rejection and lack of interest that was spelt out in his silence and had I known this at the time, I would have mourned the loss of what I had with this individual and then moved on. Life is too short and who knows what sweetness lies ahead for us, this much I have learned, when we learn to just let go and move with the flow of life... As sad as "endings" may seem at the time they take place, the well worn proverb "as one door closes, so another opens" always holds true...

Study / Lanuage school in Tri-City - advice learning Polish in Poland [12]

Hi Debra, I did a morning's taster in a language school in Krakow. Have to say it was excellent, go for it girl :0)

Love / My ex from last year and this coming weekend [22]

Thanks Jambo, am ok, had a bit of an upset tummy though the past few days and have spent every spare minute when not struggling through work under my duvet. Must admit I have been feeling a bit down, as well as extremely unsociable. Am at work all day today so must make an effort. I haven't even got round to telling you all what happened, must do that before another week disappears!!

Love / My ex from last year and this coming weekend [22]

Update: Well I'm back from the gig.. which was awesome (Dream Theater.. for your info Jambo :0)))), no superlatives to describe them really, they ROCK!! And yes I saw him.. and spoke to him.. and he's married .. and it looks like an arrangement for cash to me.. but I will explain all later on, just finished night shift and I'm shattered! laterz everyone! x

Love / Real Intimacy [32]


That's beautiful

Love / My ex from last year and this coming weekend [22]

z_darius, very good point ;0) lol

Love / My ex from last year and this coming weekend [22]

go on... ;0)

Love / My ex from last year and this coming weekend [22]

mmm maybe, he gave me plenty of that for sure when I was with him.. and I used to fall for it.. he could have said the sky was green and I'd have believed him I loved him so much.

Love / My ex from last year and this coming weekend [22]

thanks krysia, I like that.. who cares actually.. and maybe if I do indeed see him it may well just complete the healing process that these feelings are leading me to believe is nowhere near done with!

Life / Katowice: what do you think? [42]


What a bloody cheek!

Love / My ex from last year and this coming weekend [22]

well I guess that's the thing, no I'm not sure... I do still have feelings if I'm going to be completely honest. Unfortunately I am travelling alone, none of my friends like the band :0(

Love / My Stupid Friend [40]


mmm, I'd advise her to get out fast.. my ex from last year did that to me.. and worse :0( It started with jealousy over who I could be friends with and escalated... men like that usually have extremely low self-esteem. I bet he would hate it if she did the same back to him!

Love / I reckon I've met a right plonker here - your thoughts please [44]

Thanks Frank, I wanted to give him a chance, which I did. Now I've walked away from it.. fast. He texted this morning and I'm going to call him to tell him there is no future for us. Despite his lying crap he is human and deserves that at least..

Love / I reckon I've met a right plonker here - your thoughts please [44]

Well, I haven't spoken to him in a good few days now.. and I have "mentally" stood back.. and contact has ceased from him... if he does call again I will be straight with him, thanks you guys for the usual support and good advice!

Love / What to do, should I forget her? [14]

Yeah, I'd second what moonmutang is saying. I know for a fact my Polish ex from earlier this year was sent to show me stuff, on reflection of course. At the time you're going through the tough stuff, decision making or whatever, you don't realise it perhaps, but the trick is to stand back and look at whatever is happening to you from outside your own box. Not easy I'll grant you that..

Love / I reckon I've met a right plonker here - your thoughts please [44]

Hi guys, well, it's been almost all work and no playtime for me, hence the lack of reply or visits to this forum. Finally I sit down ... phew. To update you all, thanks for all the advice. I decided in the end to meet him again, on balance I thought to give him a chance in the same way as I would appreciate it if someone did the same for me. We had lunch together and the chat was good, he was affectionate towards me, holding my hand and putting his arm around me as we walked. But the day took a turn for the worse. I went back to his place (not what you're all thinking now...), he lived just round the corner so convenient for a cuppa and a chance to chat more. It was a lovely sunny day and we decided to have tea in his garden. He put the kettle on and I popped upstairs to the loo. Being a nosy type.. ermm I mean inquisitive.. well, curious about this person.. ;0).. I popped my head around the bedroom door which was gaping wide open. Shouldn't have but there you go. Empty condom wrappers on the floor and a blood stained duvet cover.. yuk yuk yuk.. I felt sick and felt like doing a runner, well I composed myself and went downstairs, had a cuppa with him and then made some excuse about needing to get stuff sorted at home for work.. he insisted on taking me to the bus stop as I live a good 45 minutes from him, so we stood and chatted and I asked him if he had any any kind of relationship since meeting me. He said no. I said nothing. He said he wanted to have a relationship with me that was monogamous and I said I wasn't really sure I was ready for something. Then he started making jokes about some teenage girls across the road from us, about how he wondered if they were of a legal age to be wearing skirts so short.. ooo err etc.. and I did notice though that in the pub his eyes were following just about every teenage girl that came in... but I disregarded it.. really not good on top of everything else, so when the bus arrived boy was I relieved. He keeps ringing and texting me and I just hope he gets the hint and leaves me alone! Next!!!

Love / What to do, should I forget her? [14]

I'd say this barmaid was just being very friendly, perhaps she did find you attractive at some level, but we can find someone attractive and appreciate their beauty, inner, outer or both, without needing to act on it. This is something I am only just managing to get my head around, that appreciation does not necessarily equal a necessity for action. Ooh that sounds quite bad now I'm rereading it!! It does very much sound as if this incident has served to force you to assess your current relationship... and decide whether it is worth working on or not.. :0)
