I was working in the back yard
Heard a tiny voice coming thru the fence
'Where's your shirt?'
Saw a tiny eye and nose of a 5 year old little lady 'tween the fence boards
'I like to feel the sun on my wrinkly old skin'
'Well, put it on......nobody wants to see that!'
I think 'Yucky' applies here
I don’t believe that I fit into any of those names.
You? Of course you don't!
....but obsessed. I'm wondering if obsession is a sign of mental decline.

How many of those would you attribute to your self before getting married to the woman that obviously had doubts before marrying you. How many would your attribute to her if any.
Last at what point did you consider yourself to be yucky?

"Last week"!!!!, (or whenever it was I posted the OP!).
I decided to say I was "yucky" in order to try to frame my arguments in the way I wished, though could argue most men, certainly farmers, could be judged to be yucky by members of the opposite s*x at some times in their lives.
I've a mate who I'd describe as a serial charmer/chaser of attractive women, and when busy doing his farming, (i.e. the normal state of affairs), he is almost always to be found smelling of cow manure, if not covered in the stuff. None of this seems to put women off though!
My ex not yucky no, answer good enough yet?

My guess is you wonder a whole lot of things about a whole lot of people, and none of your wondering make you a better person!

Not really. Trying to understand why & when you decided you were yucky.
Are you comparing yourself to the farmer in a negative way since you consider you posted his smelling like cow manure doesn't turn women off.
Not even understanding what argument you are trying to express.

Obsession(obsessiveness) can be caused by such events as:
Common treatments include SSRI drugs, which boost Serotonin. That suggests that having low Serotonin levels is a factor in obsessive behaviors.
Low Serotonin can be caused by poor sleep, life events(listed above), drugs and substances such as caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, NutraSweet and some cholesterol-lowering medications deplete serotonin and other neurotransmitter levels.

One of the small things I've learned in the last five or six years I've been posting my views regularly on forums such as this one, is that I cannot expect to explain to everyone's satisfaction why I've posted this or that, and being very very honest with you here, I doubt I ever will be able to satisfy you unfortunately!
One last run through for you though, (essentially repeating what's been said above), my daughter described me as "just a man who is yucky" as a twelve year old when asked intrusive questions like, "do you love your father".
I believe there should be a small but very significant change to UK family law, allowing "decent parents" legal rights, (there are no statutory legal rights in the UK now, and this may contravene human rights legislation, such as "the right to a family life",......, I know there's an issue as to how a "decent parent" is defined, but its not insurmountable).
Got to sort soem cattle out escaping into my mates mowing field now, but if you need more I'll be back, unless someone else who seems to have more understanding of my arguments steps in in the meantime.

Be patient this has relevance
.
One of the mechanics that worked for me was going to file a grievance about not being trained or able to work on small vehicles. Lube & oil changes were all that they could do. All technical repairs were sent out.
The 1st. step of a grievance called for sit down to discuss the issues to try to reach compromise. We did this. I suggested two weeks of the mechanic researching the cost of equipment, the cost of tech school training, & the cost in man hours to diagnose & repair the most common failures, including parts. This cost was to be multiplied by the 110 various level mechanics under my supervision. He would use a company vehicle to travel to & from locations he had to go to, to complete his part. No loss of pay & meals paid when travelling out of our location.
My part was to supply documentation of the cost to have technical repairs made by dealerships. At the end of two weeks we met again to discuss the documentation. No surprise to me my farming out tech work was far less by hundreds of thousand dollars. The grievance was dropped & the local union president thanked me for the way we resolved the issue.
Now to your ongoing issue of UK no statutory legal rights in the UK. It's been a few years now that you have posted about this issue. I propose you investigate the points you feel are lacking, you use social media & other forms of communication to address those issues. Then to generate as practical a form invite others to agree, disagree or add to what you think needs change. Then do the same by generating a form on how the system can identify a decent parent.
As you say it's not insurmountable it just takes someone like you that has time to research various articles to show that the system isn't perfect. You can be that someone that is the catalyst for change in a system you have issue with.

Unfortunately I'm still pushed for time, we got errant cows out of the mowing field easier than expected, none injured, (though one due to calve did almost get ravelled up in barbwire).
My mates had his hip done about a week ago, so here's out of action, and his son has another job to do today he can't get out of, so I'm off to see if I can strengthen the fence sufficiently to dissuade the invasion, but now they've a taste for fresh grass it won't be easy!

Right, back to the "Yucky man" question!
Have I mentioned, there are some things to be weighed against the fact my daughter told court welfare officers I was just a man who was "Yucky", (hence not the man she saw as her father, even though she couldn't at that stage call me anything other than "dad", and of course I was "Yucky" because how could anyone be expected to love someone who was so disgusting etc., etc., etc.,).
One thing was the fact mentioned previously on this thread or others, every time my daughter said "I hate you", "You are horrible", (and the court welfare service personnel felt I was completely wrong to say I ignored her saying those things,............... well, what would you do considering following such bald statements my daughter kept saying "Keep coming daddy", for the years this kind of behaviour went on for and the numerous people she declared those same derogatory thinsg were the case, even to one of my sisters whose children were my daughter's age, and my sister told my daughter she couldn't expect them to believe what she was saying, (that seemed to help a little).
Secondly my daughter told me "she loved me deep down", when I asked her to tell me what she thought of me, (now that was for my ears only, and of course you and anyone else who I try to tell this was the case cannot expect to know whether or not it were true, (similarly if you told me your children all love you I'll not know whether you are telling the whole truth, even though I've no reasons to consider you dishonest. My point though is that this just isnt an area of anyone's life to pry into, unless there is reason to suspect abuse of some kind.
Okay, I'm done now, (back to job of keeping cattle under control):
Musical interlude for you though:

Update on the "cattle front",...., some of the animals did break back into the mowing field again this afternoon, but I count it as a partial success in that the older cattle didn't get in, only those younger ones prepared to jump or hurdle a bit of fencing, and even then in a place I'd left my mates son to try to sort out.
However, not unexpectedly, a host of critics has appeared to pass damning judgement upon me for not managing 100% success, (folks who don't know one end of a cow from another mark you, and in truth cattle or sheep prepared to jump a fence take some stopping at the best of times!).
My response is going to be to complete the job I've started, to the best of my ability, and leave "the experts" to finish the job off, as they know so much about everything, and are so fond of piling in on you!
I don't know, you do someone a favour, almost save the day when making sure the cattle didn't get injured when getting them out of the field 24hrs ago, and one got ravelled up in the barbed wire, but there we are, "these so called friends" are a trial indeed"!

Every one feeling sad about my last post re-cattle fencing, "cheer up", the only principle applying here is " don't let the numpties grind you down",(and believe me we're talking the numptiest of numpties!!!). ).

On most days you could have posted those kind words and I'd have been most pleased, "BUT TODAY, NOT SO MUCH"

"Yes, the numpties got through to me", but in my defence they seem to proliferate, one egging the other on to further numptiness, with no possible good outcome!
My only course of action is avoidance at all costs, and leave them to sort one another out!

Sorry you are feeling cross. Sounds like you are overworked and under apprecitated by your friends and coworkers. I used to refer to that as one of those days! There was many a time I wanted to grab someone by the throat. Happy I don't have to deal with those types anymore.

As it happens the world has returned to almost normal, following a day when almost everyone on this particular farm was blaming almost everyone else for what was happening, or going wrong, then in turn each told the other to "go forth and multiply", (if you get my meaning?!)!
Perfect outcome all round I'd say, and most unexpected!!!!!!
