Useless bf

I’ve been told I’m being made redundant. Bf lives less than an hour away and hasn’t offered to see me. That’s pretty shit isn’t it?
On the phone, yeah, but he’s got a busy weekend with friends. Meanwhile I’m crying out my eyes over a takeaway.

Feel pretty rubbish. Sad

What shitty news, poor you! Any proper friends who might be more use?
This would be a big black mark against his name if I were you. Is it typical?

I sympathise i guess you feel badly let down. Is he often thoughtless? If so i suggest you break away xxx

Hi OP, didn't want to read & run. Sorry you are being made redundsnt and yes, he is useless. He could at least pop over for a few hours to offer a bit of sympathy, ideas & a bottle of wine. Flowers

God that’s really mean of him. He’s prioritising his mates over you in your hour if need? Have you asked him outright to come over? I’m so sorry, I was made redundant in 2016, it’s a shock even if you expect it and of course you need some support. What an arse he is.

Sorry you're having a bad day OP. Sad

Are his plans important? Have you been together long?

widespreadpanic · 23/10/2020 23:50

I’m sorry, I’ve been out of a job since April so I feel your pain.

I would feel very heartbroken if my partner chose his friends over me at a time like this.

How long have you been together?

Sorry to hear about your job. It's heartbreaking for sure. Be kind to yourself this weekend. Can a gf pop around this weekend? I find the movie Legally Blonde good for job setbacks.

That’s shit. So sorry about your job OP. Really tough.

Last time I got made redundant I told my then husband who sighed and said “well that’s shit, last thing I need, I’m going for a lie down”. I went to drown my sorrows with some colleagues and when I got home he was up but didn’t even mention it. Some people suck. You deserve better.
