I can’t sleep…why can’t you?

[Nottodaysatanugh]

I can’t sleep. Having a terrible week though, my partner of 12 years left me a month ago. Usual spiel of he loves me, cares about me, attracted to me but doesn’t want to be in a relationship. No other woman has materialised yet but expecting it soon. I’m 30 so the timing isn’t great.

I’ve had my probation extended at work due to not meeting targets, but unfairly I can’t meet the targets as the people I’m suppose to see keep cancelling. Boss doesn’t seem to
care. I left a good job for this one, which I can’t return to, so pretty gutted.

Have just exchanged and ready to complete on a house, which was suppose to be a family home and a future, it’s luckily only in my name but will be wandering around a 4 bed house on my own paying over the hill slightly potentially with no job in a month. Eep

It’ll pass, it’s been a tough month. But sat up staring at the ceiling wondering how I will start life again at 30.

Why can’t you sleep?

I was just gonna post this question! Mine is far more mundane and boring than yours though

My dd struggles with sleep and is autistic. She came home from school and slept at 5. Rather than fight it, I slept as well and we woke up at about 11pm

So she's had a bowl of noodles and is in bed next to me. At 2, I'm gonna try getting her back down for a few more hours

My life is boring and once it got to midnight, I made sure to check my lidl plus app, to see what the discounts are 😄

Im sorry to hear what you're dealing with. Do you work in sales? I did as a student and know it's so stressful

But a 4 bed house, wow! Well done 🥰. This will be a new start for you. Are you going to be in a city? Could you rent out the rooms to other thirty somethings? Maybe you'll mske some new friends?

Im sorry your relationship has ended. Men are shit so I suspect you're not wrong about another woman materialising. But, op, 30 is young! And dating the same person since being 18 means you've missed out on lots of the fun, single woman experiences!

You're like the satc single girl! This new period of your life is for dating and having fun - you've got some time to find the one and/or have your baby x

Lol at the idea that at 30 you are past it and have one foot in the grave!

You're 30 and can afford a 4-bed house. That's a hell of an achievement.

You may not realise it now, but your ex has done you a massive favour by leaving while you are still so young. You were a teenager when you got together, people grow apart, you had some wonderful times together to cherish, but ultimately, this one's not for you. You have plenty of time to find the one who is and have children.

As for the job, can you be firmer with the people you are supposed to meet? Or at least make sure everything is in writing so you can prove you did everything possible to secure your meetings?

(I can't sleep because a dear friend and colleague died in an accident at the weekend and I just can't come to terms with it.)

My DH died unexpectedly.

Op well done on the house! Onwards and upwards now!

I'm full of cold and bunged up. Finished night shifts yesterday so fell asleep stupid early last night (despite the fact my DH got home from 14 weeks away yesterday afternoon, just couldn't keep my eyes open)

Woke up to pee and just took some cold and flu tablets, hoping to drop back off soon

Sorry for your loss

Oh, I'm sorry for your loss 🥺

Oh Mooose, I am so so sorry.
