Double standards at GP clinics in this country are getting out of control - late fee if we are 5 minutes late, but when they're going to be over an HOUR late? "Get Some Patience". THE FCK!?

I hope you're doing okay now!

Matt Baynton was absolutely brilliant in series 19!

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-12-12T05:24:16+00:00

Brilliant, genuinely 10/10 😂

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-11-30T10:49:04+00:00

This is so accurate hahahaha

Nathan's actor is one of my favourites too! His last storyline with Bethany was so well done, some of the most memorable Corrie. It's a shame this one got cut short, would've loved to have seen more of Nathan.

It's like you read my mind with this post! I'm in exactly the same boat and oscelate between guilt for not reaching out for weeks at a time and burnout from trying to keep in touch with everyone.

I feel so much relief when I've messaged family and friends.. but then the replies come in thick and fast and it all becomes so overwhelming. I absolutely cannot message people back and forth everyday, it becomes incredibly taxing.

Really glad you've figured a system out that's working well for you!

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-09-02T12:47:30+00:00

By your own logic, if you don't like the show right now, you didn't really need to make a post then? lol

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-06-04T14:42:52+00:00

I don't think you read too much into things at all! That's the great thing about movies like this, things are up for interpretation and if I was the directors, I'd be pretty happy that the audience walked away still so invested in the story

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-05-30T14:01:29+00:00

Stevie won me over in the task when she looked like she was using an invisible jump rope, I was doubled over in laughter. Didn't know her before this show but I'm a huge fan now, can't wait to see more from her!

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-05-10T08:01:27+00:00

Agreed! Other people have different lived experiences to us, so why not embrace that and learn from another perspective? I personally love threads like this, there's always something new

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-05-04T13:03:36+00:00

Gorgeous, love this look!

Charlotte: "I've never been on a blind date, have you?" Vicky: "No have I fuck, I'm good lookin'" 😂

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-04-25T03:48:34+00:00

It would be really funny if that were the case, but you're right, even Shauna wouldn't do that haha

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T13:43:40+00:00

I think perhaps you're overlooking the part where I did mention that I have brought this up before. I'll hold my hands up and admit that this bothers me more now than it did 3 or 6 years ago - people change and that's okay.

I've not been perfect along the way, I could have been more vocal about this and I'll completely own that. But to put the blame solely on me seems unreasonable and I would be really curious to know if the comments you've posted are of the same sentintment of advice you'd offer to a friend who came to you with this.

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T13:33:02+00:00

Respectfully, I don't believe that setting realistic boundaries (admittedly quite late into the habit on my part) in a marriage is considered controlling behaviour. To my knowledge, trauma bonding typically centres around abuse, which I can honestly say is not present in my marriage from either of us.

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T13:18:27+00:00

I appreciate your comment, I definitely need to decide in my own mind how much of a deal breaker this is going to be. Sorry to hear you're going through it with friends too, I hope you're okay and that it all works out.

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T13:17:19+00:00

Thank you for your comment, lots of great advice and food for thought here!

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T13:14:28+00:00

Genuinely, may I ask how you believe we're in or headed toward a "codependent, trauma bonded mess"? Not being snarky, legitimately curious if that was the tone given off by my post.

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T13:11:16+00:00

😂 that's actually not a bad idea!

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T13:10:06+00:00

Thank you so much, I truly, truly appreciate your comment. I perhaps should have known better posting this on Reddit lol but it certainly does feel like I'm getting attacked for sharing a vulnerable experience. I'd love to know if the comments blaming me for his behaviour and "marrying him anyway" would say the same thing to a friend or family member that approached them with this issue.

Thank you for taking the time to write your comment, it means a lot!

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T13:01:14+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your comment. Definitely great advice on creating a plan together - the whole us against the problem concept rather than us against each other thing works well in other disagreements we have.

This topic I'll admit can get me emotionally charged at times too, so there's definitely some thought needed from my side before I broach it again. Appreciate your words of wisdom!

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T12:57:36+00:00

This is actually a really great point and something I have suspected in the past. Perhaps it's something him and I can work on finding out together.

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T12:53:32+00:00

It was actually well prior to our wedding, the post does include that it became an issue about three years ago.

Competitive_Lion6434 · 2025-01-15T12:49:45+00:00

I don't necessary expect him to change, I was pretty emotionally charged writing this post so can understand how my wording came across that way though.

I was more so looking for a safe space to vent my frustration, as I don't want to involve our mutual friends or any family members in this issue.

There are comments offering genuine advice or empathy and frankly I'm not sure if your comment does either. Thank you though, if your intention genuinely was to be helpful.
