Your most recent argument

[Strike Swiftly]

**** her off FP. she sounds like a headcase, and your better of dumping her now and hurting for a little bit rather than going through years of pain.

 

[yeah-nah]

Haha yep it's not a bad plan. I'll be out getting drunk at strip joints while she's away believe you me.

Youve got a lot to learn mate. And youre gonna learn the hard way I suspect cos frankly you sound pretty weak, chicken livered and naive.

Advice? Its so obvious its hilarious.

1) Dump her.

2) Look after ur old man

3) The job, meh whatever.

4) Find a decent chick.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion but I'm none of those things.

No it's not obvious, it's easy for you to sit there and type on your keyboard and think you know the best advice but it's really not that simple.

For the record, I still can't get through. I've said I cannot committ to anything this year, she got pissed and said ok, when can you commit? and I said I'm looking for maybe March next year and she wants us to book it in ASAP so it's all done but has said she's also going away this year with someone because she needs the break.

Extremely frustrating when I can't get thru to people, gives me the shits.

Tonight, the ****ing useless moron plumber, who has been trying to fix the ducted heating in my place for a week & done SFA. I told him yesterday to piss off, I didn't want him near the heater because it was obvious he is an idiot & has no idea. He rings me today at work & says he's just been to my place & totally disconnected the heater because it was dangerous, I get home & find that none of my power points were working, so no TV, electric heater, cooking appliances, or internet. I rang him & said that this was the final straw, that I am ringing the agent tomorrow & get him taken off their list & to suggest they don't pay him a bloody cent. I had to get my brother in law who is an electrician to get the power back on.

****, if I see this moron again I am going to smash him.

You maybe pissed off but I LOL....

This just sounds like too much hard work...it's sounds like a total head **** to me....Time for a trade in.

Mate, are you kidding? You think Im making it up off the cuff? Been thru it before. She is a case. Your Dad has cancer - nothing is more important atm and if she had an ounce of decency she'd support you. If she cant support you thru that ... now listen....SHE NEVER WILL WHEN IT COUNTS. Capiche? Youre seriously hitching your caravan to this bird?

F*** her orf. Trade her in. Youre obviously young (or you wouldnt be asking for such stupid advice when the answer is staring you in the face) so you have time on your side. Hopefully you will meet someone decent (debatable as most women are selfish lesbian wanna be's, but there are a few gooduns so you might be lucky ....if you harden the f*** up) and you will look back and laugh and say how did I even give her the time of the day.

Minor argument a couple days ago over the mechanic my wife goes to, whos a friend of her families so she gets her car serviced real cheap. Issue is hes about 80 years old, doesnt have the equipment that other places do and cant do everything (like wheel alignment for example). Argument came up because her car wont start and looks like alternator or something is rooted and she was annoyed because she only got her car serviced 3 weeks ago. I said she should probably start going to a proper mechanic who can have a better look and has more equipment and who may have picked this up to begin with.

No biggie.

"Oh, I see your problem there, missy. Your hand crank's dropped right off! You've got no way to get the magneto started, see?"

 

[Daytripper]

To be honest this sounds like more than just an argument over a holiday.

1. It sounds like you have more or less written off the holiday. How big were the hopes built up initially and why have you so completely written off any chance of going ?

2. Chemo is not something that you need to be around for, especially in its initial stages. In fact, you will be surprised at how well your old man will be able to function whilst he is having it. The initial dose is always upsetting for those around the patient as you always expect the worse but as time goes, you will all get used to it. Now if you had push your Dad around in a wheelchair after an operation or be either the sole or secondary carer then I could understand. But chemo won't make your Dad an invalid. Have a chat to his doctor or your doctor if you are concerned. (By the way am speaking from experience here - being a close family member of a person currently undergoing chemo.)

3. On the other hand a new job should mean that you can't take a holiday. She needs to be more flexible wiith that situation.

4. Your g/f sounds like she is painting you into a corner so she has a good excuse to go without you. If she really wanted to go on a holiday WITH YOU then she would plan around it.

In summing up - my analysis is that you don't want to go on a holiday with her and she doesn't want to go on a holiday with you.
I'd be working on that first.....

Bit unfair how everyone is jumping on the girls back over this situation. We don't know the full story or their personalities. Maybe FP is a chronic excuse maker and this is just another excuse in a long line of them?

As daytripper said, Chemo won't turn your dad into an invalid. My old man went through it about 18 months ago, was very physically taxing but he managed just fine. Cancer is also a disease that can drag out for a long time, maybe that's what is going through her mind? "What if FP keeps making excuses indefinitely?".

IMO, her compromise sounds fair. Book a holiday in March. If not March, which is 9 months away, then when?

Lol it doesn't bother me what you think but this is the full story, believe it, don't believe it, I don't care.

I'm not saying it will, but I'd like to be here for support when he starts chemo which will be before the years is out.

No, he compromise was a few months after her chosen date and I've said that it isn't possible due to the circumstances. Cancer to the old man, possibly starting a new job, which is why I wanted it delayed and it has been, much to her disgust.

I've written it off for this year because of the old man and the possiblity of starting a new job which I'm confident of getting. I'd like to learn a bit more about the cancer and the treatment as well because it's all a bit new.

Cheers for the advice

As I said, new job is a fair enough excuse.

I know your intentions are right with your old man but generally its not as bad as you think. Referring to the initial treatment's here.

You never know, your Dad might not want you hanging around for a couple of weeks reminding him what he's got.

Sorry if that sounds harsh.

I would definitely get some more info on it.

 

[chargers 09]

That paragraph just sums it all up mate, she appears to be a very self centred person you would almost be better off without with! How dare she ask you to ask your Dad that, at that point I would have started packing her bags for her and giving her a ticket to dumpsville.

take a shit in her suitcase

 

[fryingpan]

Dumped.

Or as she has put it "OK I'll just assume it's a break"

Not sure if I've mentioned it but she works with an ex of hers and last night she said "You wont believe this *giggle* one of my other ex's applied for a sales position and he got it! He starts next week, funny hey!"

This should really be in the "Things that shit me" thread!!

 

[BWST]

Sounds as if she has already been playing hide the sausage for a while, harsh but probably true.

Time to use and abuse and chase young fluff.
