To think I’m being taken for granted

[MangoBananaSleep]

I’ve spent all day at my boyfriend’s house decorating. He came home from work at 3 and looked round. He said ‘yeah it’s all right’ and then asked what some tiny imperfections were. Basically, I’d cut one or two bits of wallpaper with tiny nicks in them.

I had brought lunch with me for us and when I showed him what I’d brought, he said ‘isn’t that a bit fancy for lunch?’ It was tomato pasta and a slice of garlic bread.

He then proceeded to stand over me and when it came to cutting the wallpaper, he took it off me and then made a huge mess of it.

He can’t see why I’m upset. Tell me I’m not being unreasonable! 😭

Thanks RandomMess

@Tra65 umm think you might want to get this deleted and start your own thread.

Sorry first time post how do I go about this

@Tra65 you go into Topics and pick the appropriate thread area and sub section, then if you're using the app tap on new (the little pencil in the bottom right corner). It should then throw up a new screen for you to put your post in.

Cut 'Fuck You' out of cardboard, stick it to the wall and wallpaper over it. The embossed message will appear later like magic.

@Tra65

At the top of the list of threads, there's a bit that says Start a new thread within this topic.

Click on that, give your thread a title, and then write your post.

If you click Report on your post in this thread, you can ask MNHQ to delete that post.

Go back tomorrow and rip the lot off. Let him do it himself.

Can't I copy and paste it all

@Tra65 if you're on a tablet you can tap and hold on the text then probably select it and copy in order to paste, not sure if it works on a pc (you would have to click on it with the mouse). Then it's polite to ask MNHQ to delete.

I hope you get an interview Mango.

Thank you @Smelborp

Oh I really hope you get an interview too, @Mango!!! How was your trip???

Is this the guy who applied for the same job you wanted? Not because he really wanted it but to get one over on you?

Are you that poster?

Btw, really hope you get the job.

My trip was really nice thanks @justilou1

I’m starting to doubt that I will get an interview. Surely all invites should be sent out together? There shouldn’t be 24 hours between different candidates being invited should there?

If you don't get an interview ask for feedback. Also perhaps it's time to move on?

I’m definitely going to ask for feedback @RandomMess.

I agree that, if I don’t even get an interview, it’s time to move on. I’ve put my heart and soul into my job and if I’m not even being considered for progression then there’s no future for me.

Thanks again,

I'm sorry but I don't think you will get an interview now if you haven't had invite now.

But I would take it as a sign to look for a new job somewhere new. I wouldn't want to have him as my manager. I would look at putting some distance between especially as his attitude towards you in your private life is changing.

That's so bollocks. CrossFingers that something better comes up. Do ask why though.

Fingers crossed OP

Thanks. No news. I think I’ll give it until lunchtime and then email HR setting out that I know others have been invited for interviews and presume that I’ve been unsuccessful and request feedback.

This has totally given my confidence a hit. If I can work on something for days and not even get an interview when someone else can bash the application out in half a day and get an interview, what does that say about me?

I’m sorry... I have learned the hard way that there is no value in being too indispensable. Perhaps it is time to move on. Bugger, though!!!

😀😀😀 I emailed HR and they had sent my interview invite to the wrong email address!

Yay! I’m so pleased!

So happy for you!
