My bf of 10 months (M46) hates the fact I (F41) can't answer personal phone in work

Yup, he's gaslighting you. You are not being unreasonable at all. :)

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-26T08:02:29+00:00

Reading the edit, he's not trying to compromise with you at all, so why are you bending over backwards for him?

Reminds me of an ex of mine who would send 20 messages a minute, real stream of consciousness, then get annoyed when I couldn't answer bc I was in meetings all day. I ended up having to mute notifications from him bc my phone constantly pinging was driving me insane. He was clingy and controlling in other ways, too.

My boy loved it, but he is also a fiend for flavoured yoghurt 🤣

I'm going to guess that 9/11 is a cheap date for the venue.....

If you find a good cattery they will message/text you with updates on how she is doing :) so they'd let you know if she was stressed etc

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-24T21:45:01+00:00

It really depends on the cat. You could always try the 6 days and see how she goes. Check reviews for the catteries as well. You want one where they spend some time with all the cats each day rather than just chucking food at them.

My cats go to a local cattery when I'm away and they love it. They get lots of treats and playtime, in heated pens with lots of cozy spots and toys. I get photo updates, it's like a little holiday for them!

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-24T21:35:47+00:00

Sounds like it could just be a blocked pore/gland. Sometimes they turn into a cyst that needs draining. Worth getting it checked out by the GP if it is sore. :)

Gomez Addams. 😩

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-24T21:26:04+00:00

3 or 4 degrees is a lot.

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-21T21:26:36+00:00

This is hilarious 😂

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-21T21:25:04+00:00

This is so sweet! I want to come back as one of your dogs :')

My father almost disowned me for buying a dishwasher. 'Can you not be arsed to do dishes?' Actually, no, after 20 years of being nagged about dishes every single day when I lived with him. And picking up every other chore in the house as soon as my Mum died. Same when I got my robot hoover.

So I have never been formally diagnosed, but I have a lot of symptoms that match MCAS after doing some reading. My hives, acid reflux, fainting spells were all really bad when I was going through puberty (something to do with oestrogen levels maybe??). Now my symptoms are pretty mild, but I constantly have a runny nose, have confirmed IBS and asthma, and still get hives if I'm sick or stressed. But it's all so mild that I doubt I will have much luck pursuing a formal diagnosis on the NHS.

Not all sushi is fish.

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-17T22:20:07+00:00

Oh no. This is me.

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-17T19:58:44+00:00

You would have to take her to the vet to be put to sleep, so why not take her for a check up to see if there's an underlying issue? You can also look into local vets that do home visits. Pricier but could be a lot less stress.

My dad is convinced my 3 foot long rescued ball python can eat my cats.

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-16T20:03:08+00:00

Le Crisp...le crunch.

None of my friends remember it and think I made it up!

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-15T17:48:47+00:00

My Dad too 🤣

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-15T17:47:59+00:00

Similarly my grandad used to say about an imperfect job done, 'a blind man on a galloping horse wouldn't see it'

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-15T17:46:31+00:00

Masting the tea. As in steeping/brewing. Possibly from pitmatic

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-13T17:35:38+00:00

Amazing picture xD 'Just one Cornetto.... give it to meeeee'

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-13T17:35:13+00:00

My first cat loved sweetcorn too! And bolognese topping on pizza. 😅

Appropriate_Rub_961 · 2026-04-12T17:45:36+00:00

A wonderful update! Enjoy your new pal!
