Drive further if it's such an issue?

Where I grew up, it's a 40+ minute drive to the closest one. That's more than trivial tbh

Sounds like a long time to be healing, have you had it checked? I bruise very easily so I buy Arnica cream in Holland and Barrett. It speeds up the healing time and fades the bruise faster.

Well hopefully you're around the next time I'm asked because I'll never be happy to do it.

Thanks to many black eyes and broken noses, I find that colour corrector works best for concealing bruises? Purple/lilac corrector will cover up yellow/green bruises.

Ive been using Arnica cream hasnt really helped though. Its still really dark along my cheek bone. I tried all sorts of makeup but the bastard still shines through

I'll be taking to Doctor later today, doubt there is anything to help the bruising though.
still have hard lump too

Woe is me

May I thank you on behalf of short arses everywhere:)
In fairness I have yet to meet anyone who minded reaching me something. Or at least they had the grace to hide it well. I am usually mortified asking though.

I'm 5'4 ish, my husband is 6'3, so reaching high shelfs isn't a problem when he's around, but it still makes me feel like a shortarse when he easily picks something off a shelf that I've been struggling to reach.:D

Do you ever feel like when ye are out in public walking and he's holding your hand, that he looks like he's bringing you for a walk or kidnapping you?

I have a date tonight, with a guy who lets me wax him for fun. He's lovely and all but I don't think he has very high expectations or standards. We are only going to the cinema but I'm texting him saying you know I'm in work all day so I'll look a bit rough, and he's basically said he's not expecting me to look good. Oh right that's nice. Now I have to make more of an effort.

He likes pain and doesn't get the concept of complimenting a lady. Run, run away very fast, he's weird.

Tried to take a brisk 40 minute walk this morning. Met the postman, who talked for 20 minutes about the weather. Then met a neighbour who stood and talked about the weather for 15 minutes. A third neighbour pulls up in her car and starts another conversation about the weather. After 10 minutes I had to excuse myself with the excuse that I was getting chilled standing.

A good walk ruined.

I just say I am 5', and be done with it. The last time I was measured officially was when pregnant, I told the nurse I was 5', but she sniggered, asked was I sure, and said she'd better check. Oh well, what's a half inch or so, here or there? If I could fit a folding step into my bag I'd be sorted

Just take it that he's happy to be with you no matter what you think you look like. Maybe he sees the inner beauty.;)

I'm at a stage with someone where I could walk away with only the emotional equivalent of a bruise but kissing him is like a drug that I know is so bad for me but I keep doing it. I can already hear my inner chatterbox saying, "I told you so" in a couple of weeks or month's time

TA. I have a wife, my only children are 3 girls, I have 3 granddaughters and I still just don't understand how the mind of a woman works.

When we were first going out together I was about a size 10 and being that skinny really highlighted the height difference, he was really lean too. We were in a taxi place waiting for a cab one night and the 2 women behind the desk were giggling at us. The height difference is very reassuring, people generally don't mess with very tall guys.:D

Haha, sounds like my OH, apart from the granddaughters. I think he spends most of his life in a state of bewildered despair with us all! Blessed art thou amongst women

If it helps, I'm a woman and I don't know either. I don't even know how my own mind works. How are men supposed to know what women want when we don't even know ourselves? :P

TA: I didn't feel hungry enough to have lunch earlier, so thought'd I could hang on until dinner...
but now I'm starving, and fruit / snacks aren't cutting it.
At the same time, I don't want to ruin my appetite for dinner later.

Feckin tell me about it. And then he says the sweetest thing ever right. He says (and this is a man), "I really like kissing you because when we slept together we kind of just jumped straight in and I feel like we missed out on the fun kissing part and it's cool to just kiss" - heartmelt!!!!

And don't even get me started on the stuble. Or the second before you kiss and you share that look. Oh Gawd....where's the exit from this asylum? :eek:
