It doesn't make sense.
My bf's ex has decided, after 13 months since she moved, that tonight she's going to the house and pick up her things. She has made clear that I can't be in the house while she's there, from 6.30 untill she fancies.

It was her who left him, and left him well broken, and I was there to pick the pieces and make him happy again (without thinking about going out with him, just as a friend)

She used to be ok with me before, now she (and most of their common girl-friends) hates me.

I don't care too much, I just ignore her these days, but, what is out there that you don't understand?

do you live at the house?
even if not. it's not her place to order you around. cunt her in the fuck.

I have my own flat
But we live together in both places until he can rent the house.

You are right, it's not her house to say anything, but the bf doesn't want to upset her, so I'm having tea on my own today.

At least I can do with some me time. I'll make the most of it!

As I said
He doesn't want to upset her. This is not one of the worst things he's done for her, so I think I've got used to it. At least, it doesn't happen very often.

She's depressed and very unhappy, and he tries not to make things worst.

Bitter
I have been in a similar situation some years ago.

My then GF decided that ex-GF (who was breezing into my life (I hadn't changed the locks and she let herself in at 30 minutes notice) to "pick up her stuff from my place") should be made to feel unsettled and thus was performing a sex act on me when ex-GF walked in and throughout ex-GFs visit.

It felt weird for ex-GF and felt extremely uncomfortable for me: I wish that she (then GF) hadn't done it but she felt bitter and believed that the bitterness she felt was shared by me. It wasn't.

Cos instead of just sat there watching Punchlines with Lenny Bennett

"Ok, yeah... Pass us the Revels."

You can have that moment of "Sharon, I love you pure loads, will you please do me the honour of becoming my wifey."
And then you put the ENGAGEMENT ring on her finger and she gets to show her mates and when Adrian from the butchers tries to chat her up she can waft it past him, and ALL other nice things while they maybe think about planning to run off somewhere for a quick wedding so they don't have to invite her ex (who still takes her mum shopping on a Wednesday) and his aunty Karen (who's clinically mental).

not a bad idea. Probably auto adjusting the contrast and stuff in photoshop will do though
(, Tue 11 May 2010, 14:28, Reply)
It is a brilliant method, can produce some stunning results.
There is a program that takes your multiple images and mixes them to make one image. You absolutely need a tripod for it though. Alternatively if you have a fancy pants digital SLR that takes RAW format pics, you only need one picture.

Adjusting the contrast etc in photoshop will have limited success, i prefer adjusting shadows and highlights'. The thing is, if the sky is just a white blare, there will be no detail in it regardless of what you do to it.
(, Tue 11 May 2010, 14:37, Reply)
saying contrast was a catchall for "buggering about with in photoshop"
in most of my pics the sky has incredible detail, as does the land but is just a bit dark, so will only need a bit of tweaking.

Definitely try Image/adjustments/shadows and highlights. It gives an excellent level of control over dark pics.

If I tell him that
He'll be upset.

He's been invited to a few things (even a wedding) as long as I am not there. I've made very clear that if his friends (only the girls) don't like me, then he should rethink that friendship.

It's getting better, but it goes very slow. Maybe we should have stayed as friends, but now I love him to bits, so it's not an option anymore.

He deserves to be upset
you are more important than she is, and if this is upsetting you then he should put you first.

With regards to the wedding, were you not invited, or actively uninvited? I'm not inviting loads of boyfriends and girlfriends as I don't really know them and I don't have room.
(, Tue 11 May 2010, 14:24, Reply)
No, I was uninvited
He asked when he got the invitation (same as for a lot of other parties) and was told that I wasn't welcome because the girls don't like me.

So, he asked if I would be ok with him going, and I said no. So he's not going to the parties to make me happy, but not because he sees any problem about going.

What makes it worse
Is the fact that the bf has had to stop doing things with his mates only because they don't like me.

I understand why he gets upset. He's not upset with me, he's upset at the situation. If it's only boys going out, everything is great. If there are girls invited, he's asked to stay at home or go without me. It's not fair on him either.

This thing cannot be understood because it makes no sense.
Your bf has to cut all contact with this girl and move on.
It is non-sensical that she can still dictate to him like this. She should have no control over him or you.
Old feelings die hard and cloud the judgement for long after the affection has died, but he must refuse these demands. If there is any real reason for her visit he must set the time and duration. Then stick to it.
Do you have the same powers? - if you ask him to come to you as soon as she has left will he come?
Does he realise this could affect his relationship with you?
Perhaps you could cultivate your own friends and introduce him to a new circle.

Enjoy your alone time, slob evenings are always good!
