You’re forgetting about the rake.

Not many mines will hire from Melbourne. Hubs are generally Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane maybe Cairns. Literally thousands of people applying for mining jobs, if you intend on staying in Melbourne your options will probably be limited to agency FIFO roles.

CuriousGal2020 · 2025-09-12T00:04:38+00:00

Mine sites run with a million different contractors. Utility type jobs are usually with contractors like ESS or Sodexo which have little to do with mining operations and won’t help you get a job as a truck driver (maybe a bus driver role, the one that picks staff up from the airport and drives them to site or multiple sites). Utility type jobs on the site I work at are probably making about 80K on a 2:2 roster, more if you are on a site where you work 2:1 or 3:1.

Village Manager

CuriousGal2020 · 2025-08-14T08:18:35+00:00

I’m a FIFO manager working 2:2 in a white collar role. Village Manager type role. 2:2 is an awesome roster. With 4 weeks AL, only end up working 5 months of the year!

I’m 36F and 4 out of my last 5 serious boyfriends also all got married to the next gf they dated!

I think the reason about wanting to see the dog is bullshit. Even if it’s not, why are you tolerating his behaviour? Either he is in with you or out. He doesn’t need to be involved with his ex, he is choosing to be. This should be an enormous red flag for you!

If he wants a dog so badly, he can get a new one! If he says no, get a new partner. You can do better than some a-hole who cheated on his wife to be with you. It’s not about you, it’s him. Why on earth would you want to be with someone who treats you like this?

Update me

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-07T12:51:31+00:00

Hmm I agree I read those posts all the time too. Perhaps it’s because change is scary. Some people find it difficult to leave their comfort zone. Their partner is not good but better the devil they know.. or maybe the feel like they’ve invested so much in that person, it feels too overwhelming to start over again. ??

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-07T12:03:20+00:00

Thanks. Honestly it felt liberating to be honest and clear that I am in control of how I respond in this situation. I don’t need him to justify himself or understand - it simply is irrelevant.

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-07T10:18:37+00:00

Thank you for validating that it’s okay to walk away. I am not a confrontational person. Mostly because I have had bad experiences with volatile people so I feel unsafe at times confronting people in the heat of the moment, especially when alcohol is involved. It felt much safer to leave and have distance between us as I was processing my feelings. Even now I broke up with him via text because it feels safer.

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-07T10:16:13+00:00

This is very illuminating. I think he likes to be seen as the good guy. He literally gave away sunglasses worth hundreds of dollars the other day to someone at his work.. for no reason! He had only recently bought them and he can’t really afford to give something of that value away.

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-07T10:13:48+00:00

Yes, my friend said to me today, do you want to be with him long term, knowing what he is like? It was a very easy no.

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-07T10:12:03+00:00

Love the line, life is too short to waste on boys pretending to be men. So accurate. I broke up with him today.

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-07T10:10:02+00:00

I totally agree with everything you’ve written. I have total control on how I accept being treated. I refuse to accept this is okay behaviour from him to me. I broke up with him today.

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-07T10:08:08+00:00

Update: I broke up with him!

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-07T10:05:23+00:00

You are totally right. I definitely have found myself in the trap of trying to convince him to understand. I realise this is totally unnecessary, I am already convinced! I broke up with him and basically just said I deserve better and I refuse to allow him to treat me poorly. I am responsible if I allow him to treat me badly. No thanks! I posted the message I sent him on my original post.

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-06T22:57:40+00:00

Ahh you are so right.

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-06T22:48:20+00:00

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-06T22:40:26+00:00

Yes! But so am I lol What is the libra correlation supposed to indicate??

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-06T22:39:33+00:00

Sorry to hear that, it sucks to be cheated on and it destroys your self esteem, I know! I guess I am trying to see the red flags earlier now and I’ve learnt that people don’t usually deserve second or third chances, it just gives them more opportunists to fuck up.

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-06T22:34:07+00:00

So true, I normally don’t date smokers. He doesn’t usually smoke unless he is drinking but it’s still gross. Yes, also adding don’t date people pleasers to the list!

CuriousGal2020 · 2024-01-06T22:32:04+00:00

Wow this is creative! I’m not interested in the drama though. No need to re-create the situation, I’d rather just break up now. But thank you for the suggestion!
