The good ship Nelson (Titanic) hits an ice-berg

There was a frankly embarrassing and mawkish post about a relationship break up. Really, it's best deleted except for this bit, the ranty bit.

NB. So, I have been to circuits and some of those endorphins are kicking around. I've had a very therapeutic time smashing a medicine ball against a crash mat, grrrrrr. Whilst enjoying my therapy I got to thinking, and thought, damn it I'm angry and what if there was a 'Trade Descriptions Act for Men' with a governing body you can complain to re. 'mis-sold goods'?

I was going to do an expletive laiden rant, but despite how pants I've felt all day, there is still a sense of trying to hang onto at least a bit of dignity.

A letter could go something like this (it's not ideal as it has an air of 'victim' about it):

Dear Sir,

I wish to register a grievance against Mr. _____________ for the following reasons:

Firstly, I have been mis-sold one of your products, namely Mr. _______________ . For he gave the impression of a genuine, well rounded, grown up, good humoured man with an honourable interest in myself, the complainant.  However, it became apparent that the goods were faulty when he stated one thing but did the complete opposite.

The relationship itself was also 'mis-sold' for we had planned attending events together in the not too distant future, weekends away and spoke about our mutually poor previous relationship history and agreed about not wanting to repeat the same mistake. The word 'committed' was used in the postiive, rather than the mental sense, talking of being committed to each other.  However, within the very short time of 48 hrs Mr. ______________ completed a U-turn that would even disorientate a politician.

Therefore, it is clear that my complaint should be upheld and the faulty goods returned forthwith combined with a reasonable level of compensation such as a Mulberry or Chloe handbag.

Yours Sincerely,

Miss____________________
