Things I haven’t said out loud this week

1 - No, we haven’t asked you to come over for a meal in ages, no, I don’t care how many hints you drop, it’s falling on deaf ears.
I don’t expect you to help prepare or cook when you’re here BUT I do expect you to supervise your kids, not plonk down on the sofa and completely ignore them. Accidents may happen but if you actually looked after them instead of scrolling through your phones, we wouldn’t have had a house plant tipped over the carpet, used toilet roll and wee on the toilet floor, orange juice poured in the dogs bowl plus numerous others. Oh and by the way, we’ve never been invited over to your house in the eight years you’ve lived there!

2 - Im sorry your daughter would rather spend time with her gran but for god’s sake be honest, you spent the first ten years of her life bouncing from one disastrous relationship to another because you were desperate for a bloke. You put them in front of her needs. Her gran might not be perfect but at least she was there for her.

It hurt my feelings that you prioritised getting your eyelashes done over attending a scary hospital appointment with me.

Thank you for accepting the invitation to come to the wedding. The invite did not automatically include staying in our house for 3 nights.

I hope you do say it out loud!

You’re my best friend of over 20 years but I honestly don’t think I’d want to be your friend if we met today. You’ve become so racist and angry as you’ve got older.

evtheria · 16/03/2023 17:16

I like that we are close friends but this is draining. I am running out of sympathetic phrases to say.

Zola1 · 16/03/2023 17:26

Oh my god, I am so so sick of listening to you going on. You are selfish, entitled, and cruel. You are alone because you are unpleasant to be around. I have tried so hard to be good to you but it doesn't work. I'm fed up of your games

ReneBumsWombats · 16/03/2023 17:58

I will never understand you.

Pseudonamed · 16/03/2023 18:15

Stick your job up your hole.

Your life revolves around alcohol, you may not thinks so but it does. If you’re not drinking it, you’re thinking about it, you talk about pubs and clubs from years ago. A recent trip out through a nice village was a re-run of every frigging pub you’ve been in.
Me.“Look at that lovely Georgian House/ lovely view/let’s have a coffee.”
You. “The Stags Head used to be on that corner, The Royal does a good pint. I had my 21st in the Buck”.

I wish my health anxiety would fuck off. Im sick of being worried.

Christmascracker0 · 17/03/2023 16:58

I’ve made so many mistakes at work recently.

Strongboat · 17/03/2023 17:48

No it's not great that my grandfather was killed in the war, just because he was German ffs. It doesn't mean he was a nazi or "deserved it".

halfpasteleven · 17/03/2023 23:22

Why is everything so morbid with you?
Misery may love company, but I won't be that person...

Cheer the fuck up.

TedTookVows · 17/03/2023 23:47

I really care about you, I know things weren't easy and then they got a lot worse. You really need to stop placing your self esteem on whether you can get a man, I know how crushed and devastated you are when first dates don't call back and it goes no further. It's because, though it is you in the pictures the level of alteration and edit and filter you use on them is basically catfishing. I am so worried about your mental health, but this is definitely a contributing factor and you are doing it to yourself.

Gingernaut · 18/03/2023 07:45

I know it's in a tetrapak carton, like orange juice, but you've put the washing up refill bottle in the fridge.

Get your eyes tested you stupid woman - you drive every day!!!

DoesItMakeYouFeelBetter · 18/03/2023 12:43

Why am I the one making all the effort?

PoseyFlump · 19/03/2023 07:17

I know you're busy but you could have made more effort. Happy fucking Mother's Day.

NastyNiff · 19/03/2023 16:35

You are a gossip and I know you enjoy my misfortune. That's why I tell you nothing these days.

ReneBumsWombats · 19/03/2023 16:51

I do like you, you're a good person. But you're a blabbermouth, totally indiscreet and completely unprofessional, and that's why I can't tell you.

TellySavalashairbrush · 19/03/2023 17:27

Dear friend - you are generally a good person but living alone for many years and having no financial constraints means you have very little understanding about the family commitments I have. On the very rare occasions I share my concern for adult dc and their mental health difficulties , I catch you rolling your eyes. Yet I have to listen to you talk about your bloody dog for hours. They really smell, I don’t like them jumping all over me constantly and when I visit you my idea of a good meet up is not a 2 hour dog walk in a muddy field watching you pick up the never ending river of dog crap yours produces .

SomePeopleAreJustBloodyStupid · 19/03/2023 17:46
  1. No, I'm not "lucky" to have no mortgage - my husband and I went without a LOT of things, in order to keep paying it. Unlike you, we didn't piss away our money and get into debt then have an IVA.
  2. No, I'm not fucking"lucky" I don't have to go to work - I was in an induced coma for 2 weeks with Covid, during which time I had a fucking stroke. I was in hospital 80 miles away from my home, and it took months and months of struggling to recover to the point I'm at now.
  3. Yes, I AM lucky that my adult children are nice to me and buy me things for birthdays/Mother's Day, etc. That's because I've been a good mum, haven't ever fallen out with them or slagged off their partners.
  4. I'm not your choice B to go out with when you're bored, lonely or your 1st option has fallen through. You fucking user.

Talk face to face to your husband about your relationship, facebook does not care.

This is the reason I left FB.

Jesko · 25/03/2023 13:08

I know that you've got feeling for me, it's absolutely blindingly obvious now.
