To think I’m being taken for granted

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! 😭

It remains half decorated! I’ve washed my hands of it.

Thanks for the good luck wishes. I’m determined to give it my best shot.

I'm confused... This thread started off about decorating but is now about a job interview? Did I miss a post by OP??

Good luck from me too!

Butterymuffin · 24/05/2019 12:48

Really hope you get it OP! Or certainly that someone else, not him, gets it if you don't.

Cheeringmeup · 24/05/2019 12:56

Good luck - hope it goes well Smile

ProfessorSillyStuff · 24/05/2019 16:13

OMG! HOW DID IT GO OP!!!!!!!!!!

(I hope this isn't one of those job applications where you find out the result in a months time, we are on tenderhooks here!)

ProfessorSillyStuff · 24/05/2019 16:15

Fuck that stupid man though. Geez. If he gets the job over you then that's it no more believing in God for me!

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/05/2019 16:21

Haha. It went ok this morning I think. We will just have to wait and see. They are interviewing more people next week.

As others have said, get the job, ditch the bloke!

Kaiylee · 24/05/2019 16:43

I hope you get the job and ditch the bloke.

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 24/05/2019 16:45

Tell him to do his own fucking decorating. Seriously, I would have hit the roof. How bloody rude!

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 24/05/2019 16:45

Sorry, didn't realise this was a month old.
