career vs relationship update

[impossiblesitu]

I went to the interview. Job is mine if I want it

Who wanted PMs??

It was my birthday yesterday. Needless to say his behaviour was so utterly vile that all doubt is gone, as is he, and I am counting down the hours.

You're amazing. And right. Why is MN always right?

good for you, OP. I have friends who make marriage + small child work with that much distance involved - so either he grows up and it works fine, or you are well rid

Oooh, Brussels is great, youll have a ball! I met my DH there, and got engaged there ... ah ... the food, wine, beer, language(s), people ... just dont take your car, get cabs, the Belgians (or just the people in Brussels) seem to be short sighted and are forever bumping into things ...

Well done on the job, it sounds fantastic!

Blimey, it didn't take him long to show his true colours! I hope you are ok?

How did you meet your DH 008? The beer is going to turn me into a beast, it's 1.20 (euro) in the Parliament

I'm actually fine. If I explained what happened you'd all tell me to kill the fucker.

Sorry you had such a lousy birthday, OP. But at least now you need have no lingering doubt about 'what would have been'. At some point he would have shown his true colours when you upset the cosy routine of his life in your own favour.

Oh go on, go on, go on, go on mrs doyle. You know you want to.

dont get the reference glasto...

Mrs Doyle is trying to persuade people to have another cup of tea by saying repeatedly 'go on go on go on go on go on, you know you want to'.

Tell us what happened! What did he do?

alright. I've outed myself anyway to anyone who might know me so may as well.

He was magical all day, bought me beautiful Tiffany necklace, spent beautiful day together in the sun, had lunch and cocktails at 4 seasons (he was driving), really couldn't have been nicer. Then had a few friends over for pimms in the garden then went to local which has quite a big night on a Wednesday - except 9 of my friends cancelled for understandable reasons - work, illness, 2 for stupid reasons but it's fine - so I was a tad down but fine. Anyway, I went to the bathroom and called a friend who happens to be A MAN. A man with 3 kids, who is 18 years older than me, but I indirectly work with (political party) and get on with like a house on fire because he'd sent me a happy bday message and I sort of wanted to talk to someone who would make me laugh to snap me out of Bday Blues. Anyway, 5 min chat, more innocent than a smoothie, come out to see DP and he sees on my phone record (he didnt snoop, it was out) that id rang him. He had been tryng to call me, i didnt realise, he goes MENTAL. Demands my necklace back, ends it, I end my bday in tears alone.

Grovelling today but not enough. Verdict?

tribpot - perfect analsyis re: cosy life

Kill the fucker.

Or send him my way and I'll do it.

yeah dumping a girl on her birthday in public and - again publicly - demanding a bday present back, telling her (crying now) to fuck off and leave you alone etc isn't really on is it, all based on an innocent chat with a friend who happens to have the fucking audacity to be A MAN

Right, so first things first, your DP had been trying to call you whilst you were in the loo? Why?!

He was clearly spoiling for a reason to drop the act, take the necklace back and end things like a big baby. What a twunt.

Yeah that's a good point - why the actual bastard fuck was he not letting you have a wee in peace? Why was he calling you in the loo??

for his credit he was waiting for me because he was worried that I was a bit down. He isn't all bad.

I work in bloody politics, he needs to accept most of my friends will, therefore, BE MEN.

BLOODY MEN WITH THEIR COCKS that i have no desire to see . sorry

waiting and calling, having bought me a drink. really, he isnt that mental.

But you were (to his knowledge) having a piss! Even doing number twos if it comes to it. Why would he phone?

He knew I was a bit upset. He was calling to make sure I was alright.

You were only at the loo ffs.

He's a knob and you've had a lucky escape.

Meeting him for a chat now.

I know, I know.

Let me repeat. You may have been upset, but you were also having a piss. What was calling you going to achieve, except reminding you he had you on the hook?

Don't let him reel you back in, impossiblesitu!

Does it matter if I do? I bugger off to Brux in 3 weeks
