What to do?

[MrsG&T]

Hi all, ive juat a bombshell dropped on me.

After almost 10 years together my partner has walked out on me and our 2 boys! Completley shocked and devastated.

The thing is we both have tickets to go to Glasto, now im not the most confident person in the world but im thinking i'll still go (even if it is on my own) i keep hearing how great it is, and how many new people there are to meet.

Anybody have any advice on goin it alone?

Firstly, sorry to hear this, sounds terrible, you have my sympathies, I hope it will all work out for the best. Secondly I'd have to agree with Kirky. Get chatting to a few of the people in the Chat section and you'll be in very good & caring hands.

Out of interest, what are you going to do with your partner's ticket, presumably they're coming to your address.. not feeling vindictive are anything are we :-)

Gosh what a bummer- I hope you're okay.

I take it it's your first time going? And how old are your boys? I guess you were planning on taking them.

We don't regret the things we have a go at and fail as much as the things we don't have the courage to attempt. If you don't go you'll always be wondering 'what if.'

But worry not about going solo to Glasto. You won't be alone and it's one of the friendliest places you'll ever visit.

[MrsG&T]

Hi all, wow thanks for all the advice and kind words.

Well after a week of avoiding eachother we finally sat down and sorted through some stuff. We have decided that we'll go to Glasto together, we both love the same music and have everything in commom.

Ive been before (99) but he's not, its something we were both looking forward to sooooo much.

We're still good friends and im hoping that by the time Glasto comes round we'll be over all the awkward stuff.

We've been best friends since high school and we have to little boys together (3 year old and a 1 year old) its just a shame this had to happen.

Thanks again everyone!!!!!!

Reminds me of something my other half said about a friend of hers. Her and her husband had been together for years and were raising a young family when he walkfed out.

She eventually met somoneone else and the first time her new chap met her ex husband she was a bit

worried obviously. But her current chap just walked straight upto him shook his hand and said

"Thank you for leaving your wife , I am so lucky to have met her and could not have done it witbout you ! "

Ah wow, your all so sweet on here! Thanks for all the encouragment.

Im definatly still goin to Glasto (just try and stop me grrrrrr) and yes i think i will go along to one of the meet ups (especially if there's a drink involved!).

Just hopin that if either of us do meet somebody before (cant see that happening for a while) then they'll be very understanding. How do you explaine to your new partner that your goin camping then a holiday with your ex??? After Glasto we're meeting our boys (and grandparents) at a holiday cottage about 30 minutes from Glast and having a week with them.

Cheers for all the support!!

"Well they did not have a face like a melted welly ! "

That always makes my laugh

This is a true story , sort of related and I thought it would make people chuckle.

Back in 2007 I went to V Stafford . Returning back to my tent on the first night I saw a lot of security

and a land rover next to our tent.

"Whats my g/f gone and done ! " I thought.

It turns out that the couple next to us ( in a very small tent ) had split up a few months before , but had

agreed to come to V together , they came on the bus from Bristol and she was drinking from the moment they set off. When they got there all she kept going on about was how many blokes she would have back at her tent. Not getting a reaction from the really nice lad ( he just took it all in his stride )

she flipped in the tent and started giving him a right hiding. Security were called and she had a go at them , and spent the night in the festival cells. He spent the night chatting with us , and was a genuine guy.

The following morning , I saw him at the tent and said

"Where is your mad ex mate , have they realeased her ? "

To which she put her head out of the tent all sheepish !

I do not think she saw any bands all weekend, she was either in a cell , drinking in her tent or passed out !
