  • Why don't you just get pissed, take a long weekend, shout at us for a few days and then pull yourself together and go back on Monday?

    If you bottle things up, you'll end up like someone else I know.

    Trouble is I'm running projects for homeless people... I have a responsibility to deliver them so I can't just take random days off... I need to be there; it's about their support. If it was just an office job for the Man, I'd be doing that in a hearbeat.

    sometimes you have to look after no.1 ... and then when you've tucked me in and made me cocoa its time to look after no2... and if that involves a day of to mope around and feel shitty.. .then do it!!!!!

    the homeless will understand amigo... actually they wont they're all drunk off their heads and refusing handsome scotsmen's cold chips from Burger King...

    so, to summarise... my feet are getting cold
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I think it's great of you to help others. Paradoxically, it helps you by taking your mind off self. So enjoy your rewarding work with the homeless. And thank-you, btw.

    I'm sorry your girl ran off with your friend. Personally, I can relate to this, because it can be difficult to follow your heart, especially when that hurts others. Tough luck, learning not to trust your old pals words.

    Hope your vacation is relaxing and you catch up on some of those chores!

    Thanks tish its much appreciated :)

    My ex wife is now with another guy - one of my friends, as it happens. I've said 'Fuck it, you know, he's a good guy, he'll make you happier than I was ever going to.' i.e. I've given them my blessing. You've got to understand that I was so fucking fed up of trying to make someone so high maitenance and full of baggage, happy. So I just told my friend it's not worth losing his friendship over, as well as my wife.

    So after weeks and weeks of him and her giving me 'space' (translated as not contactiing me) my friend says hey, we need to clear the air. You need your computer looked at. What time can you get in from work and I'll come over, look at it, hang out. I had the impression he was bringing her with him... whatever. I said if you're still here at 6, we'll hang out.

    Just got home. Looking forward to seeing my friend, I don't hold grudges. Looked around. They've both been here, it's obvious. They've turned all the lights off that I'd left on. They've taken one of the double beds, the old computer (not that I mind - I'm on a laptop) and fucked off. And they've left the house an even bigger shit hole than it was in the first place with my atrocious housekeeping skills.

    Why the fuck are people NEVER who they claim to be? Friends? Life-long soulmates? Any fucking thing?

    Just someone give me some fucking honesty..... Why is there no honesty in this world.
    Welcome to the cruel world. I can't answer that myself. But I can say this from experience.
    Run and don't look back, forgive yourself for not leaving sooner, focus on your life for a couple years, patience, go on dates, meet new friends, you are your own best friend, drink, and listen to PJ....oh and f'em both.

    That was the truth.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

  • As usual I came...late. ;)

    okay first of all from my reading the previous posts, I have to add - you don't want the old double bed...it has a bad goo all over it! get a new one! goo-less. ;)

    second, if the old computer is part of the cost you had to pay to get that douchebag who is with your old hag out of your life too - then so be it.

    it was a heavy price, but nothing hurts worse than false friends...
    as for your ex...I am hoping rather actively, in fact that she begins to get assboils...something that shows in a physical manifestation what kind of person she really is.

    nothin' shows that better than boils all over a person's ass crack...go on...visualize it...it will make you feel better. ;)

    See post above about work tomorrow.. Friday night is my night. And I'll try and write a fucking funny nonsense thread to carry me through the drink without me breaking something.
    Mark, I look forward to this thread :) any time you need a PM rant in the meantime, you got a good few people in this thread that you can aim one at.

    HLF!!! you are much better off without her.. i know this because when we met in February she didnt even smirk at my cocktail joke... i've therefore evaporated her from all existence... a bit like... ohhhhh Mick Hucknall

    WOW. :(
    that is beyond sad. you're the bigger/better person harmless. i am continually amazed by ex-wife/husband stories. i cannot imagine loving someone enough to MARRY them, and then treating them so horrifically if the marriage doesn't work.
    yeah..I always wonder too.

    that was a really shitty thing to do to you Mark!
    ..pretend to come visit only to sneakily take off with stuff (even if it's hers, it's the way it's done! when I split with a long time partner, I warned I was coming to pick stuff, and left him the choice of being there or not).
    I mean you were a sport when you had the right to get pissed off at her 'getting over you' so quickly, with a friend to boot, and that's how they pay you back?
    cowards

    fuck, I hate hypocrites! I don't hold grudges, can have arguments, even exchange insults and then forget about it..but someone stabs me in the back..they're history!

    I'm really pissed off for you now! :mad:
  • aw man, that is messed up! :mad: sorry...well hopefully if karma does indeed exist it'll bite 'em both in the ass someday.
  • Thanks for you concern guys :)

    I'm shocked Mark..... really. That is real shitty. I know easier said than done, but try not to think about it (the why's, etc.). And yes, think about you and do as you feel for a bit. Work can wait.
  • Yeah, people do suck. I wish I had some words of encouragement for you beyond 'fuck 'em' but alas, I do not. So yeah. Fuck 'em.

    people suck. people in broken relationships often end up with one of their friends of the spouse or significant other -- not in my experience, but in novels, movies, unfortunately it happens.

    I'm so at the end of my fucking tether.

    and i don't wonder why!!

    i'm sorry to say this to you but those people who you've loved and hangout with are pieces of garbage!! it's amazing what people can do!! :mad: i know this didn't happen to me but they are pieces of shit!!

    my advice

    leave your house as it is take some pictures, call the police and tell them you've been robbed by the people you hardly knew who forcefully took the keys from you and then broke into your home.

    that should teach those fucking pricks!!!

    anyway, all the best Harmless, don't think of them too much, you meet bad people but you also meet good people. :)
