The Not Happy Thread

Oh, get some sleep Mal!

 

That's awful Carmina - my sympathies. Pancreatic cancer seems to be a particularly virulant type.

 

Hmm, it was turned up higher before because of my housemate using it. Ah well, going to try it again at the weekend - I will get it right!

*Sends piece of crispy, gooey, lemony cake*

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do fine! I found it was better when I crammed the night, or couple of days, before an exam.

She could have responded better. Does she not know you have to be respectful when responding to pieces of writing?! She sounds like someone that would irritate me so much.
At least you'll probably get better, respectful comments when you're workshopping it.

Oh, sleep more! Four hours isn't enough really.

So sorry to hear that. :/

 

It's great to be a guy. Everything is just so much simpler. Got a problem with someone? You duke it out for a bit and then go grab a beer.

 

Man, I'm rather pissed off right now. It's incredible how restrained i am since taking medication. But I'm still pissed off.

My partners daughter was being a bit slack today towards my partner, and my partner is like, well thats not half the problem.

She has the ****s because i picked up chocolate for her and myself, but never got one for her daughter. Shes like, oh we have to be a family and you have to think of all of us.

You now, in no bloody guru, but of the two of us, i am most certainly the observant one. When i go out i buy her chocolates, shushes and ice pops, but heaven forbid, that one time i don't Boy her something.

She wanted to have a conversation about it (As women do - no offence to the women here i hope), and i was like sorry honey there is nothing to talk about here.

She's got the ****s with me big time, and you know what? i really couldn't care the slightest.

i hope she cries herself to sleep tonight. I might sound harsh, and talking a little bit over the top while being pissed off, bust trust me...i mean it. I really don't care. i just don't. Why should I. I've forced myself into chaging for the better, and i bloody well have.

I hate it how i was a c**t before, but now, with medication, now that I'm a million times better, i get called on every small mistake i make.

Gee, give a guy a break.

Over a f*cking chocolate. Get real.

 

Seriously, that sounds a bit nuts to me. So you didn't buy the kid some tooth rot, big woop! It's not anything to 'talk' about. You did the kid a favour! Sheesh! Talk about over reaction.

Dan goes out and buys stuff for the two of us all the time, sometimes he buys for himself, sometimes, he buys for 1 child and not the other two. Don't mean we need to 'talk' about it.

You've worked damn hard to change who you are and to be honest, I think you are a better person now, you deal with a lot of things better than you used to that's for sure. But I think your partner is over reacting in a big way with this and I would suggest just leaving her to calm down and then maybe when you both calm down, just explain to her that you weren't trying to cause an argument or upset her by not buying a chocolate for the kid.

It really is a major over reaction if you ask me. *hugs* Hope things settle quickly mate. You can't be called on every mistake you make, we are only human. Hell, if I called Dan up on all of his, I think we'd of separated by now. But I just accept he makes mistakes, just like I do, because we are human and no one is perfect. Maybe talk to her and tell her how you feel about it, Speedy. *hugs*

 

At the end of the day me and her daughter somewhat don't get on. i mean I'm 29, shes 16...i'm at that age of wanting to get away from all that hormonal BS.

But we have been making a go at it. i just hate getting caught out on tactical crap. I mean I'm not mean towards her. I understand shes a mother, and what makes it hard is being the other bloke. I probably should speck up about things, but ..... being the other bloke, you really can't.

I'm at a mates house, she was so ****try, she was like, so you can sleep at a mates house tonight. Yeah shes got the ****'s big time.

I'm not the kind if person to hold a grunge, but i think I'll just go fishing this weekend and do some writing/reading (left my glasses at her place....mother frek).

Its her birthday on the 13th, V`day the 14th and our monthly Anna on the 15th. I'd like to not talk to her, show her she actually was in the wrong....but if i don't, I'll just piss her off more.

*sigh*

Honestly, i think she's just butt tired though. And over all this certain **** like i am (not us, other stuff).


But yes, i have changed. Glad it's not just me who thinks it is and thinks he just has a super ego.



Edit

I'd talk to her, but shes a bloody solicitor. Anyone who goes ut with one knows what i am talking about. Conversation becomes debate's. And if you don't agree, she'll just debate her side ntil she has a hissy fit. And after a while I'll have enough and she'll be like, but I'm trying to have a conversation.

I hate it when it gets to that point. I'm so docile now, talking it so meh.

 

Dude... I seriously DON'T envy you. It's bad enough with Dan... I was mates with a solicitor and dang... when we argued, I found that slamming the door in his face and climbing out a window was great! hahaha!

Being the 'other bloke' you should be able to. You are after all, her partner. You should be able to say something. Hell, Dan does. He says whatever the heck he wants. Maybe it's easier with my two being so young still.

I don't suggest ignoring her for those dates, it will really put you up s**t creek without a paddle and your canoe will have a massive hole in it and be sinking faster than you can blink.

It really sounds like a painful position, I hope you find a way to make her see she is definitely in the wrong. *hugs*

 

Well at the end of the day she has been spoilt and allowed to get what she wanted for most her life, and well there the kind of things that pointing out just gets people into a lot of crap (it doesnt help that she doesn't help with anything and is always bitchy). If she was like 5 when we got together than sure, but i guess it didn't go that way. At the end of the day she's a fine, a smart kind, just self obsessed, but hey shes a 16 year old girl. Most are.

Yeah, I'll make sure I'm with her on those said dates, but i think I'm going to make it obvious that what happened did not sit well with me.

We'll be fine. it's not really a big issue between us, i think I'm just getting a lot better and know where i stand these days.



*hgs back*

 

My knee is still being stupid. Can't put my leg straight yet, and it just hurts randomly, even if I keep my leg bend. It was bugging me the entire night and I think I'm gonna get a chainsaw and cut it off if it keeps this up.

 

Was it maybe because of the cycling you did the other day?


In other news -

FML.

 

Even though you're sleeping now, good luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything works out fine.

*hugs*

 

I can recommend some different knee supports if this persists. Knee problems are horrible, and I hope this gets better.

 

So, yeah naps are bad for me.....I just fell asleep and slept through two of my classes!

 

I was dreaming about checking my email for about the last hour of my dream today. I really hate how real life slips into Z`land. It's so unfair.

 

The annoying people are at it again.

 

Petty complaint...cable's out.

 

Hands over some annoying people repellent.. It works I swear.. and there are little to no ummm side effects?

 

Buahaha thank you!

 

I think I have Tonsillitis. I can feel how swollen they are through my neck which can't be a good sign. Cold, shivering and aching bones.

I'm not sure if this is a common problem with couples but my other half was loathed to give me sympathy this morning. I always thought it was a sick person's birth right to have overblown sympathy when they're feeling like death. At least it was that way in my house growing up. I always give him copious sympathy and pampering when he's got manflu...haha.

In his defence, he made a trip to the chemist to get an arsenal of over the counter potions and pills.

Alas, I am feeling very sorry for myself so I understand why that might be annoying.

 

I'm failing Pre-Cal.

I...I'm scared of math and I'm failing Pre-Cal.

I feel hurt inside, like I just did something unspeakably horrible. I'm upset, angry, ashamed.

I want it to go away. To end.

This school year is officially the WORST year I've ever had.

 

Awww, Mina, I'm so sorry. One of my parents' friends who I grew up around passed away from that last year, it's definitely one of the worse cancers...my thoughts are with your family.

That's....pretty ridiculous. Good luck with all this, Speedy. I mean, I get irrational about stupid crap, but this takes the cake.

Have you gone to the doctor about it? Knee pain is the pits...

Awww, it's totally a sick person's right to overblown sympathy! At least he got you a bunch of medicine to help. :/ I hope you get feeling better soon!

Dude, I can't imagine taking a college math class...I got my college credits for math out of the way in high school so I wouldn't have to go through that. :/ Good luck! Don't be ashamed, lots of people struggle with math!

 

I feel ya, Link. I feel like I cant do anything right and that I should just drop out and quit wasting my parents money and my own time. I've worked so hard, and it feels like I just cant make it to the finish line, ever.

And now I have to go home this weekend, face my father, and feel doubly ashamed of my own stupidity. As if I don't already hate myself enough, now I get to hear it from him too. Great.

This week has been so hard, truly a test to my sanity, what little I might have had in the first place, and it feels like it was all just a waste of time. I was looking forward to this weekend, to seeing family I haven't seen literally in years, but now all I can think about is how much of a disappointment I am.

 

Aww, that sucks. You have every right to feel sorry for yourself when you're ill. At least he did go to the chemist for you so he's not all bad.

You haven't done anything to be ashamed of. You tried, and are trying, your best and that's all you can do. Maybe those subjects aren't the ones for you. Have you considered asking for help? Maybe a few one-to-one sessions will help. And remember, grades aren't everything.

You're not a disappointment. It's okay to struggle. If you're really struggling a lot though I'd maybe think about getting extra tuition/help of some kind because that might help you. Also, is this your first year of university? (I think it is) Anyway, if so, there's that leap between school and university so you're bound to struggle. I don't really know what I'm saying.. hope things get better for you.

 

Aw, really, your dad gives you sh*t about school stuff? That's kind of messed up...it's not like you're slacking off or you don't care. There's nothing for you to be ashamed of, you work hard, and you're very intelligent.
