why am I so upset, am I being pathetic?

I'm really pissed off with myself for being so tearful about this. Basically dp of 9 months lost his job so he's not particularly in a good place at then moment which has an effect on me as there is a sense of incertainty with everything, he's been really trying to get a job and so far been unsuccessful. His best mate runs a bar in spain, which he tends to go there on holiday as its cheap just buying for the flight. Anyway it seems this mate has sort of offered him work there for a month, but to be honest I'm not actually sure if he's really paying him anything :-/ DP wants to go, said he won't go if I don't want him to, but I feel I shouldn't really stop him as he has a mortgage to pay (we don't live together). However it does seem to be turning out thats more of a working holiday helping his mate out a bit but not really getting paid. He's admitted to me before his mate hasn't been totally loyal to his long term girlfriend in England and part of the job behind the bar is to flirt and have a banter with the customers. This obviously is playing on my mind a bit, I can understand maybe he needs to get away to sort his head out whatever, but I don't know if I'm being pathetic getting upset about it whether I should be pleased for him to go, its really getting to me, can someone talk some sense to me please x

Oh dear, he is a bit of a nit isn't he.

The only way to read his response is "I want to stay here with you, blame you for my choice not to go off & shag randoms in a Spanish bar, and punish you for it (my choice.)" Hmm Fuckwit.

I'd fire him if I were you. He's evidently going to do this passive-aggressive shit each time he wants to do something you might not like!

Take yourself off to Ibiza in July :)

No, sweets, of course you feel sad! It's a disappointment, isn't it? When you meet someone you like, you kind of hope they'll turn out to be a grown-up who's competent to make his own decisions (find his own job, arrange his own holidays) and take responsibility for them. And that they'll respect your feelings. And like you just as much as you like them.

Sadly, this isn't him. I definitely recommend some serious wallowing. Can you arrange a wailing night out with a friend soon? You're very much allowed to feel grief and sadness. (Plus some relief! Imagine if he'd pulled this on you another year down the line Shock)

I have actually, 2 infact both of them I will be out over night. I just want to tell him to go tbh and don't come back, this man has given me so much grief lately!!!! I'm old too by the way but maybe time not to act my age like this bloke.....I have responsibilities though unlike him, children! But when they're with their dad at a weekend I can play then :-) and the smilies still don't work !!!
