If shes found her prince charming or man of her dreams, why on earth is she not spending christmas with him and his famlly especially if she feels she cant be with hers for whatever reason. Perhaps she doesnt feel ready for that comittment yet and that s why she mentions her future aspirations or is it wishful thinking.
I dont feel her shoutout is very helpful either some women may not be in fantastic relationships but may have to stay for all sorts of reasons, because of children or finances, it isnt easy to just walk away because you feel your other half doesnt "make you feel good". I rather think that from what we have seen Josie s own self-esteem and confidence issues had a lot to do with her and to look to someone else to provide these for you is unrealistic, you have to find these within yourself hence the self-confidence, self-esteem, once you are happy in your skin then are able to judge the situation between both parties. As she said herself she is full of insecurities and that is some of the reason for the way she acts and thinks whether this has changed or not I dont know, hopefully it will gradually. To blame someone else for what you are responsible for is very immature imo. and not really fair to them if they have genuinely tried their best to help.
I never saw John at anytime put Josie down infact the opposite, unless he changed completely or was a different person from what we perceived.
Really this write up hasnt done her any favours, she may feel vengeful and bitter and it certainly comes across that way, it doesnt put her in a good light imo, a relationship takes two ppl for it to work, its not all one sided as we are led to believe. Sorry Josie love, but you have got to come up with something better than this for us to stay interested, although i do sympathise it is getting a bit like a broken record.”

In spite of all the innuendoes that have been flying around recently about people who no longer post in this thread, I still read it from time to time, and I don't suppose it will be any surprise to you, Judy, that in this particular instance I agree with you completely. There was a time - a while ago now - when you and I were in the same capsule on a big wheel surveying the shambles of the JJJ relationship around us. Whatever people say about me doesn't really bother me any more but it doesn't mean I can't agree with points that are made in discussion.
