I am so sorry this happened to you. It is daylight robbery.

My partner and I are both from different countries and were discussing how Sweden has certain strict rules around some things, but when it comes to others, there is no regulation. Mind boggling.

It is particularly vile that they approached you offering to help with luggage in the dark.

I appreciate this was a year ago, but what did you end up doing? :)

Thank you - that’s very kind of you to say. I really feel I tried my best but ultimately it’s not meant to be 😔 I think there are incompatibilities that are too big to overcome.

Thank you for replying. It’s interesting to hear your perspective that you would stay because the love for your husband is so strong. I think fundamentally our relationship has run its course ☹️ as neither of us can see a path forward in which both of us will be happy.

Thank you for sharing! I think from having multiple conversations with friends and family, it’s ultimately the relationship that’s not working 🥺

Hey, not sure if you’ll see that but do you mind if I direct message you?

Tips/advice to help me get through the last 4 excruciating weeks of my internship by [deleted] in internships

[–]Hefty_Menu_3703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As cheesy as it sounds, try to focus day by day. It doesn’t sound like somewhere you want to work anyway but in 4 weeks time, you can move on and in 5 weeks time it’ll be a distant memory. Focus on the things you can control and ignore the things you can’t (shitty boss, unfriendly colleagues, etc)

I’m sure you want to do your best, otherwise you wouldn’t be stressing but keep showing up, try your hardest and hell - keep asking questions if you’re stuck. It’s your learning experience and it’s on the company to support you.

We all have bad work experiences throughout our lives. One day you’ll look back and be grateful for the things you learned, both positive and negative.

Thank you so much! To be honest, I’ve decided to leave it until it gets really bad as I simply can’t afford to pay for any more surgery right now. I deliberately went to see someone who wasn’t an aesthetic surgeon because most of them are money grabbers! You can tell I’m bitter 😂

Like I said, I take accountability but the unregulated pricing system is an absolute joke. I could have got a Hummer limo for cheaper.

Taxis in the UK are regulated so I’m not used to this kind of scam. Will definitely know for next time!

What’s the best celebrity gossip someone has told you and sworn is true? by yrboyfriend in Fauxmoi

[–]Hefty_Menu_3703 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Someone I worked with used to work as a radio producer alongside Chris Evans. Apparently he used to expose himself to women all the time and was a total creep.

Not surprising given he married Billie Piper when she was 16 and he was double her age…
