Help me get through tonight so I can get rid of him tomorrow

[MessedOfTimes]

This is pretty much the most intense week of my life, and I’ve been through a whole lot in my 33 years...”D”P and I were just having smoko. I put a lighter in my lap and it fell to the ground. I made a joke about “thigh gaps”. “It’s actually called a box gap”, says he. Gross. I am currently doing an “end of lease” clean on what was until last week my first real home. I am in a flood effected area, so am having to tackle it all myself. I know tomorrow is goodbye for him (feel free to suggest choice “final farewells”)...til then, I’ll be scrubbing walls, missing my kids, seething at this moron and hoping to laugh at something you bloody brilliant lot say. Cheers to hopefully-blessed final straws. Thank you in advance, Vipers ♥️

Why is this the second post calling us "vipers" today? 🤔

Good luck 💐

Indeed. The whole MN / nest of vipers thing is really old now. Have to say I struggled with this post. It was like coming in on a story right at the very end. Good luck getting rid OP.

is this a humble brag that you have a thigh gap?

What you talking bout Willis??

@Amandasummers

Presumably people are confused because it seems like op is leaving him purely because of a comment about thigh gaps and naturally this would seem a bit over the top?

This. It's really weird.

@Moomieboo I thought it was like a small break. I went on smoko in places I worked we usually had a cup of tea but no one smoked!

Well done for ridding yourself of a man who grosses you out. Ignore the nay sayers and I hope the next home is lovely and flood-free.

She made a joke about thigh gaps, she didn't say she has a thigh gap.

This is a weird thread ...

Does anyone know what’s going on? Like generally?

Box Gap as in 'Ja'mie Public School Girl' joke? Couldn't get wound up over that myself, it's a bit of a running joke in my (adult) family as we watched the series. Understand if it's the tip of the iceberg though. Good luck with your move.

A while back the term 'nest of vipers' was used to describe posters in a funny/ironic way and some people thought it hilarious - so it stuck.

Not sure what’s going on, wishing you all the best though

I’m absolutely baffled

Are you OK hun ?

No idea what your talking about.

I assumed a box gap was a thigh gap big enough for a cigarette packet to fall through.

Good luck with your move, OP.

I love the way the OP has written this, reminded me of the start of a book 😂

I think it's clear to say the OP has found peace with the situation and I'm happy for her. Her partner clearly isn't aware of "today" (might be now!) but it sounds like he's a pretty critical person and she's had enough.

Wishing you all the best - please give us curious lot an update 😊

Absolutely no excuse for using such a crass expression. Especially when you were just making a lighthearted comment. If this was the last straw for you I dread to think what amount of misogynistic put downs and belittling you have already put up with.
Collect your kids then tell him to take a long walk off a short plank. And don't look back.

Why are you leaving your kids too?

The OP seems to have fucked off but I’ll admit this thread had he curious.

Hello everyone, I am sorry to have gone off the radar. It was a brutal night. I am going there all the replies and want to say thank you to everyone who has been encouraging, and to those who translated my sleep-deprived and utterly exhausted attempt at articulating myself. I can see how I came across as absolutely bonkers, and the kindness and encouragement from those who could see through the “gibberish” has made my heart smile. X

*through.
Bloody hell. My brain is still riddled with mould remover fumes, I think! 🤦🏻‍♀️
