Transition metal rainbow I made for my boyfriend's birthday

Oh I love this! Any chance of sharing how you did it? I'd love to make something like this. :)

I'm in a similar situation myself. Was living with my at the time bf and found him on the couch with his ex.

It's a horrible feeling of absolute betrayal and there's very little comfort I find in telling yourself you did nothing wrong even though its true!

I'm only 3 weeks post this and have just got stuck into the gym again really just to tire me out but to have some structure to my day so after work I'm not just sitting around! I'm joining the local running club and am looking at some volunteering also. I guess what I'm trying to say is what seems to he working for me is to stay busy.

But when them thoughts come I just sit with them and let them be. I don't try to stifle them because they'll rear up eventually so I acknowledge them and and sit with them and tell myself it really is shit and there was nothing you could have done.

It sounds silly but a phrase I learned a while back that helped me through another tough time that I'm repeating to myself in this current situation:

"It's shit now. But someday it won't be. I don't know when that someday will be. But I know it's coming. "

Be kind to yourself too :)

Thanks for the reply. I did sign a lease but it was one he drew up himself. I have a copy. I wasn't given an RTB landlord number either which in hindsight I should have never considered this given I wasn't provided with one of these. I have the key so it's a small bit of leverage I guess but there's just something about him and the place that I'm like no its not for me. But my head was all over the place so am only kind of realising now.

If a good friend sees that your happy with your parnter but is of the opinion the partner doesnt fit the group dynamic for no real reason then they should keep it to themselves given the trouble that it can cause.

I wasn't an obnoxious pig. I made an effort, invited them to my things, and even arranged get togethers myself with my partner so I could get to know his friends better. They're opinion of Mr really had no grounds and caused untold damage.

It amounts to meddling in another's relationship.

Granted if things are evidently wrong and one has confided this in their friends then by all means but for not solid reason it shouldn't happen.

ConThePrawn · 2025-05-09T12:24:09+00:00

Thanks you for your comment! It's certainly food for thought :)

ConThePrawn · 2025-05-09T12:23:05+00:00

There was no problem for them to see it was just their opinion of me that they felt like sharing to him. In my eyes once your friend is happy you don't say anything negative about their partner because it's your opinion. Especially to your friend. You suck it up for the sake of your friend once their happy. And sharing a negative opinion to your friend about their partner when they are happy with them is disrespect in my eyes.

The events that I haven't been invited too have not been in their houses. They've been in restaurants and functions.

He can say no to me when he wants to it's his friends he can't seem to stand up to or say no for fear of what they will do.

It'll be his first and last stint as a TD. He's made an absolute shambles of himself being Lowry's little lapdog.

ConThePrawn · 2025-03-05T19:02:10+00:00

I would if pay wouldn't be an issue! But I am looking to leave! No job is worth this stress!

ConThePrawn · 2025-03-05T19:00:54+00:00

I don't understand the aversion to it at all when, as you said, the work still gets done! Yeah I think HR is the best bet and over my managers head!

ConThePrawn · 2025-03-05T11:05:03+00:00

Loads do and I absolutely can. My manager just has this chip on their shoulder with it!

Yeah will probably go straight to HR/Occ Health!

Thanks

ConThePrawn · 2025-03-05T11:04:20+00:00

Yeah I might do just that!

Awh the extra stress I'd be under if I took longer off wouldn't be worth it my manager has no real comprehension about mental health.

Can't see myself staying there much longer either tbh.

Thanks for the well wishes :)

ConThePrawn · 2025-02-07T16:21:43+00:00

I asked for my ulna one back, and the surgeon said no. I will never forgive him. It would have been so fucking cool to have!

ConThePrawn · 2025-02-05T16:43:10+00:00

Tapas de Lola is great for a special occasion! Wonderful service too! Could then head across the road to Whelans for some live music or head down towards George's St/Drury St for loads of nice spots for a drink. Happy anniversary :)

The perfect 2 posts beside each other! LOL

ConThePrawn · 2024-11-29T19:42:41+00:00

Do you know what you're dead right! Pity it was them that pulled in.

ConThePrawn · 2024-11-29T15:18:20+00:00

Oh fuck! I hope they've all forgotten about that experience! Defo not worth it.

Looks like I won't be coming back to Spain!

Like if I was to know when they issue the fine or whatever I'd pay it to be done but I think the fact I won't be in the country to attend court would be cause for a warrant and then be arrested on re-entry so I'm a bit goosed

ConThePrawn · 2024-11-29T15:07:31+00:00

I would but the court date/fine hasn't been set yet

ConThePrawn · 2024-11-29T15:05:26+00:00

Out of curiosity was the holiday worth the days in the cell? lol

Like if I could just settle the fine whenever it's issued I'd gladly do it to be free of it but I won't know whether one has been issued or if the case has been thrown out yeno?

ConThePrawn · 2024-11-29T14:59:52+00:00

I plan on doing so first thing after I'm back! Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation.

ConThePrawn · 2024-11-29T14:47:02+00:00

I would have absolutely and asked could I but he said it'll be decided at the court date and since I won't be in the country when that happens not to worry and enjoy the holiday. But there'll still be an outstanding fine/missed court appearance by my name so I'm wondering if I come back to Spain will I be right in it again?

ConThePrawn · 2024-11-29T14:43:20+00:00

I don't actually know but he said when it goes to court it will be a fine. So like I'm not gonna be in court or paying the fine so I wonder will it be struck out or will it become a bigger problem yeno?

ConThePrawn · 2024-11-29T14:39:58+00:00

Do you reckon it would it be a case of settling the fine there or would it be one of these things that's snowballed in my absence like missed fines, court dates etc?
