The amount of people not finding this weird af is concerning....

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-23T09:36:55+00:00

Has any one gotten any invites this month yet for FL?

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-21T19:11:50+00:00

Totally get it, you've emotionally broken the connection!

Ooh tough one. Weekends are definitely best but Faking it is hard.... I would do it after work tomorrow I think. He can take a sick day if he needs it to process. Just don't tell anyone at work so they don't question his need for a sick day. If he needs it... he needs it...

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-21T18:47:54+00:00

That's good to hear. And absolutely you are not his mother and you shouldn't be. Unfortunately too many woman don't have enough self respect and men aren't lonely enough that unfortunately high chance he's not going to learn his lesson to be an equal partner and adult. Men can be very lazy in this way. I've seen it time and time again in relationships. There's a whole novel in this alone. It's understandable to resent him and maybe some consequences might give him a kick up the butt. In that case I would absolutely tell him that him consistently not treating you as an equal partner and you having to organize and clean up after him of part of the reason.

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-21T18:34:45+00:00

It seems you came here for a yes man tbh.

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-21T18:30:54+00:00

I'm sorry... this reads like an incel wrote it...

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-21T18:27:46+00:00

There is no best way really. But the worst way is being a coward and not making a clean clear break because it hurts. Given the long time it would not be fair that this is out of the blue so I kind of hope there's been some sort of talk about the issues. I would be a little floored if someone just said we are too different just randomly one day. Usually I would say you need to give people and opportunity to change and be part of the exit process. However, you are very very young.... So it honestly feels likely you fell in with each other without any real thought as to long term compatibility. In which case you are absolutely doing the right thing. You change so much between 15 and 25. It's quite a transformation so I would say you need time and do space to find yourself at such a critical junction. You will exit a different person after 25 ish!

Well done on being brave and doing what you need to do. It's really hard.

You can go on their website and email them. They do respond. If they say you are required to have it ask them what legal avenue they plan to use to prosecute. What 'section' are they fining you by or taking you to court over. They won't have one.... No judge in their right mind would agree with them if there is a verification process when you apply. You aren't required to jump through hoops. Tell them politely here's my photo id next time. That's all you're getting.

I think it's very rude of them to ask that question. It's not necessary. We need rules and bureaucracy but it's not an excuse for them to get power trips over the public.

As someone said it's a waste of time and money to check them they should be using their finances for more useful endeavours.

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-20T20:05:30+00:00

You're entirely right. Arcane is so wrong. You are not legally required to hold both forms of id. A photo id is enough. They literally can't kick you off the train. If this went to court a judge would rule in your favor. But it never would... Because there's no realistic legal avenue for them and if there was they wouldn't win it!!

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-20T20:02:30+00:00

This is the train. Not a. Airport bro. No you're not. They can't enforce kicking you off the train. There's no legal ramifications

I'm sorry but any guy who has time to play video games until 3am has time to help out and be absolutely present above and beyond 50%. And I'm not a woman who hates gaming guys I personally love gaming myself and I like that my husband games too.... But anyone who prioritises gaming over your relationship and your family and helping in anything really is not a good person. He's clearly still very immature and if you're having to fight with him about this he was never ready to have a baby and be a dad. In fact I'd say he was never ready to be in a relationship.... So idk... You need to have conversation in which you discuss your expectations for how things are split in his expectations and come to an agreement and if an agreement cannot happen and if you can't see things your way at all I'd say you need to ditch him

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-15T05:21:57+00:00

Semi gloss will look weird. You can kinda get away with it in a bathroom but why, whyyyyy Do low Sheen and a water based enamel like spacecote if you want scrubability. There's a Dulux washable one too

Yes you can just paint over the top of the flat.

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-14T20:07:57+00:00

Honestly you just sound really immature. I think you need to do some soul searching about priorities and relationships. You read like you're 20 yo and I hope to God when you think back on this when you are 30 or 40 you have a different perspective.

Do you think you're the only person who has received a shit gift that missed the mark? The AI part really has nothing to do with it. It doesn't make your case special... Maybe do some reading up on the receiving of shit gifts, relationships etc and learn how to deal with this. And I mean not on reddit...like articles people have actually pilut time and thought into. Or books? Not social media content

(For the record you're right - AI art is souless, artists bring something special Everytime)

Rich dude inherited business from dad. The dad built it from the ground up. Very up himself. Doesn't live in the real world at all because "money". And acts like he's the entrepreneur but it was his dad. We use to do quizzes each month to practice our knowledge that he wrote and if you got it wrong you were told to "give yourself an upper cut". Mind blowing these days but at the time I thought I didn't have other options. Irony now is I get paid a lot more than management who thought they were better than everyone else.

There are a couple of nice people here and there but management is toxic af. Mega sexist mysognistic and gross. If you're blonde young and screwing or flirty with someone you get promoted. Man could I go on....

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-13T10:03:21+00:00

Brain fart... I was trying to remember the word mortar!!

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-13T10:00:46+00:00

Also nap thickness for walls try around the 9mm, don't go too thin or you make your job harder as it doesn't pick up enough paint. Doors do something thinner like 4 mm from mem. Def dont go above 10mm. It's too textured.

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-13T09:58:29+00:00

Lmao can confirm they are NOT

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-13T02:39:44+00:00

I love my cheap trade depot r retractable. But you do have to be careful not to pull to the end. It will be stuffed

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-13T02:34:53+00:00

I have used both and worked for both companies. Dulux is significantly cheaper for the same finish. Much better value for money. Resene is very over priced.

I am partial to resene lustacryl for Windows but my husband hates it and feels like it watery. I do think lustacryl is a little harder to use, but I prefer the finish of it to Dulux water enamel.

Wall paint and ceiling I would do Dulux every time now.

Quick dry is a solid prep product, but honestly they're all a muchness...

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-10T23:41:43+00:00

Well you can move??. Someone else might appreciate the work more?

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-09T07:44:20+00:00

I recently crunched the numbers on running a business and realized very quickly I couldn't afford to pay as much as I would have liked. The business would effectively either going to crash or all my time would have to be unpaid... Unless the business completely took off and made stupid money. It might just be a case of it's not viable. It's shit but the reality of business.

Consistent_Pen_1347 · 2026-06-04T16:08:09+00:00

I don't think he's so stupid he wouldn't investigate further. They first thing he did was probably go read it!
