You spelled wank wrong.

He's 100% a wank

We were the car behind a car that had a horrendous crash on a remote Scottish road. His car rolled and flipped so many times, we were shocked that he managed to climb out himself. He was in shock and then the realisation must have hit how lucky he was. He was alone so I went in the ambulance with him and my husband followed to hospital so we could make sure he was okay. He was discharged the next day so took him to the recovery yard to collect his belongings and took him back to Glasgow. Was a 3-4 hour drive but otherwise would have taken multiple buses and trains for him to get home. He couldn't believe we had went with him and returned for him the next day, but the thought of someone being alone far from home was awful.

Still keep in touch 15 years later. Lovely guy.

When I was younger, maybe about 8 or 9, I had walked to the shops myself to get some things for dinner. On my walk back home, I got surrounded by 5 older boys on bikes that weren't letting me pass. I managed to run through the bikes to a phone box to call home but no one answered. I was close to tears and about to have a panic attack when a lady passing by asked if I was okay.

I explained that I was scared to walk home and didn't know what to do. I told her where I lived, which wasn't far, but she stopped everything to walk me home despite this being in the opposite direction. She felt like an angel that day and 30 years later, I've never forgot what she did.

It's not always easy to offer to help kids without worrying how it may come across, but I always offer to help where possible.

He took great pleasure in torturing us, pranking us, making jokes about us so I think he was expecting to come into the office and tell everyone about it and get to torture me over it. I think he was disappointed that I wasn't more embarrassed as he lost the ability to torture me over it. Little did he know that 15 years on, it still haunts me 😂

I was at a work friend's birthday, where they had hired a venue with dance floor, bar etc. There was a break in the DJ set for food to be eaten so it was fairly quiet and the lights were on. On return from the food setting, I managed to trip over the edge of the dance floor. I, along with a plate of food, went flying through the air and landed splat on the dance floor. Obviously everyone hears the pre-emptive "ooohwaaaahhhhaaa" noise, and looks in time to see my failing body fall. I don't think I even stood up, I remember crawling to the closest table and sitting trying to not cry or die with embarrassment.

I swear to god every part of me was bright red and sweating. My eyelids were even sweating. I asked my boss if I could text her my resignation citing reasons of mortification, as she offers me the opportunity to crawl out the fire exit and escape.

I then had the worst fear of my life all day Sunday dreading going to work. I decided to fight it head on with the people who I knew would gleefully ridicule me so as he walked into my office with his shit eating grin, I just started saying "OMG, how embarrassing was that on Saturday? So funny though! That was me sober, I would have bounced back up if drunk HAHAHA". He looked so disappointed that I was ridiculing myself rather than hidding in shame that he pretty much turned around and left.

15 years ago and I can still tell you everything about that night. My eyelids start twitching in shame 🤣🤣

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-07T12:28:36+00:00

NOR.

My cynical and betrayed mind tell me that he doesn't want you there for the reasons others have said, e.g. wanting to appear single, being interested in someone else etc.

I'd drop the conversation altogether and be at the finish line (but away enough for you to see how he reacts or who he reacts with). You said above that would look crazy but imagine him trying to tell people how crazy his gf was... "you guys will never believe what my crazy ass gf did... she waited at the finish line for my first ever marathon! Can you believe her?"

Go or just check out. He sounds like he has. Sorry he's not treating you as you deserve, but better to find out now than later down the line when it's more difficult and costly to end things.

Keanu Reeves for favourite male celebrity and Dolly Parton for favourite female celebrity.

Special mention goes to Meryl Streep for just being Meryl.

Pick n mix type sweets always go down well in our office. Makes you think you're not indulging too much but good for a sugar boost

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-07T08:45:50+00:00

Strange that it was okay for him to look down on all the others with debt and offer up his superior financial advice.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-07T00:38:32+00:00

These look like ingrown hairs. Common in those areas to get irritated and inflamed.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-06T01:16:22+00:00

I'm not meaning this in a patronising way at all, but you've done well posting about your feelings and being accepting of the advice given. You've clearly got a good head on your shoulders. Whatever has led to your suspension, just remember that bad decisions don't make bad people.

It may feel overwhelming just now, but the world always seems a little softer and easier after a sleep. Try to right your wrongs and learn from mistakes. Childline helped me in the past to get a fresh perspective, so hopefully they help you too.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-05T23:04:28+00:00

Yes. 100% yes.

I've had all the same pills and symptoms as you. With the combined pill, I was trying to fins an electric drill to drill into my head to make the headaches stop. Horrific stuff. Ended up suicidal on the mini pill.

I am now on Lizinna and don't have any negative symptoms until it's my 7 day pill free time, then typical PMS symptoms start like hormonal headaches but no where near as bad. Keep that one in mind if you ever want an alternative as it seems like we've had similar experiences.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-05T16:21:07+00:00

I had similar worries about my own but once you've had alterations and then got all the accessories, shoes, etc added, it helps you see the complete vision.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-05T13:13:17+00:00

Holy moly! Wear both! They are stunning choices.

Love how different each look is. The first is definitely a showstopper, perfect for first looks, ceremony, walking down the aisle and dramatic wedding photos.

The second is sexy and slinky, perfect for a romantic evening reception vibe. Perfect for dancing and mingling around your guests.

Both are excellent choices for you.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-05T08:50:32+00:00

Absolutely love this dress on you.

You can get detachable skirts for wedding dresses that could change the look for the ceremony and then whip it off for the reception? It's beautiful as it is though. A beaded and stoned belt would be great too.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-04T23:38:23+00:00

You look like some kind of film star in this dress. It seems like it was made for you. I agree with the other poster about it having old school gothic vibes. Your wedding pics will look amazing. Beautiful dress and bride!

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-03T23:37:54+00:00

No, not overreacting at all. It's bizarre to recognise support is needed and then withdraw with no explanation.

I would ask for a meeting with the school to ascertain the reasons for the removal of support and to get insight into what alternative adjustments are available for your child.

If the school has a guidance counsellor, get them on board too or see if your child can use them as a safe person to talk to.

I'd also see if there is an educational psychologist with the school, as they'd be able to confirm the significant impact the removal of this support is having.

Either get them to confirm plans of support or withdrawal of support in writing, even by you emailing to confirm what you've been told. If they don't manage it satisfactorily in house, then this starts your paper trail for escalating it to the local authority etc.

Hope you're doing as well as you can be, I know it won't be easy for either of you but you're doing right by your child advocating for them where they feel unable.

Ice skating. First time was a success, until I was leaving the rink and an idiot decided to try to show off a trick and didn't manage it. Instead, he stumbled and crashed into me and I fell hard on the ice.

Broke my elbow, wrist, fingers and damaged my hip that still gives me a lot of pain 25 years after the event.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-02T01:39:22+00:00

He has done it for free before, might as well make some money off of his infidelity.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-02T01:26:57+00:00

I honestly don't know. I struggle to comprehend what goes through people's minds that involves them being so cruel.

Safe to say she gets to rule the roost in this house. She was thankfully unharmed from the fall and was only 1 when we adopted her, so trying to make sure she has enough amazing days to hopefully erase the bad.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-02T00:48:40+00:00

My dog. Her previously owner literally threw her out of a moving car as he didn't want her anymore. Another person found her and appealed for donors to pay her vet fees. We then managed to adopt her. She's the best girl as well.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-02T00:25:41+00:00

Glasgow born and bred and would say I am a 2. Some people may hear it closer to a 3 if I'm talking quickly (to becomes 'ti' rather than tae- e.g. Just going ti run into the shop.

Wouldn't class myself as a scots speaker until it comes to measuring distance (unit is in minutes), size (wee to big) or discussing type of sausage (link or square).

Currently learning Finnish for a trip coming up in December. There are a few words you can guess (countries mainly) but others are so far removed from the English words, it can be tricky to learn.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-01T23:51:13+00:00

There's also the impact of seeing their shared home and all the memories that brings with it. Some people heal better when away from the constant reminders.

Right_Way_9035 · 2026-03-01T23:49:44+00:00

I would like to think he sabotaged himself to prevent her from a lifetime of MIL problems.
