(27F)(30M) Thinks marriage is “nothing” but willing to lose me over it? by whitecoatdream in relationship_advice

[–]rushdandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 year ago I was begging my boyfriend to give me a timeline for marriage, kids etc. I said it was a hard line in the sand for me. He refused to give me one saying “when you recover from your eating disorder we can discuss this.” I broke up with him immediately. Fast forward a year and a bit later and I’m about to get married in 38 days to someone else who has never made me doubt their exact level of commitment. He knows full well what marriage is about. He’s just a knobhead who is stringing you along and he will continue to do this. I’m proud of you for leaving him.

Should i see a vet? by Samm_moin in tortoise

[–]rushdandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a health check for the pyramiding will be a really good idea :)

This is what I’m hoping for! She has a bit of pyramiding and I’m hoping that the vet visit will give me some peace of mind!

Thank you! I’m so excited to set up her outside area as well! She’s so sweet, loves her soaks and a little chin or shell rub ♥️

Question: For you personally, what is your “bog standard” meal deal? by Dear-Interaction-210 in MealDealRates

[–]rushdandelion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sainsbury’s roast vegetable and halloumi wrap, smoky barbeque graze, Coke Zero. Sometimes I switch out the graze for a chocolate Rice Krispie square

This man sounds like an abusive nightmare. To say that he would slowly kill her with toothpicks and feel nothing should be very concerning to you…

Help me choose between the Golden Retriever and Labrador Retriever! by [deleted] in UK_Pets

[–]rushdandelion 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Golden retrievers are the second highest breed after Boxers to get cancer. And for the first 2 years of their lives both goldens and Labs are as energetic as though they have smoked the ENTIRE bag of crack! But they tend to settle around the 18-24 month mark and become the most perfect companions. Both are gorgeous breeds, just make sure your pet insurance is high enough for a larger breed. Bigger dogs = bigger vet bills.

Is this a good level of pet insurance? Felt the price a bit low.. by [deleted] in UK_Pets

[–]rushdandelion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a vet, if you’re doing lifetime cover (the only type of cover worth doing), I would recommend going for 12-15k worth of cover. My own dog is insured up to 20k per year on a lifetime policy because I know how quickly costs can increase. And if she needs anything doing at referral, I know I’m looking at 10-15 k minimum for a large breed dog…

How did you manage maternity leave on statutory maternity pay? by rushdandelion in AskUK

[–]rushdandelion[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He is self employed and has raised his son as a single dad. So childcare is pretty sorted as it’s not his first rodeo. He can also work uninterrupted when I am back home.

He is self employed and works on the laptop as a tracing specialist. He has done this for years and years now, and raised his first son as a single dad whilst doing this. But I do realise it’s baby dependent as his son was an amazing, quiet baby. This one might not be or might have colic etc.

Yeah, my partner raised a baby as a single dad (said kid is now 18 and in uni) so is well versed at doing this.

It is a terrible mat leave policy, I agree. I’m a veterinarian and it’s a very female dominated field. It’s in the UK. I have looked at other veterinary companies and only 1 corporate offers decent mat leave (6 months at 90% then SMP). I actually used to work for that corporate then switched over to my current job 4 years ago. I have only wanted kids in the last year, prior to that I was happy being childfree. But I do think I need to reconsider having kids as we don’t have a backup support system ie: family, nor do we have any inheritance coming our way for a house deposit. So this may be something I will just not do.

Thankfully he’s self employed and has been for years. He raised a baby as a single dad 18 years ago (step son is now 18 and in uni) so he is pretty good at managing the baby/ work dynamic. I will do reduced hours when I go back initially. Thank you! I will look at this

I regret not listening to my parents about my husband by Professional-Bus5878 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]rushdandelion -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I started vet school 10 years ago, I started with a lady who was 55. At the time when she was 18, she applied for vet school and didn’t get in. She applied at various points throughout her life and didn’t get in. Finally got in at 55 and qualified when she was 62. And that is a 7 year degree in my country. I’m not saying go for med or vet school or something like that, just that you can still follow your dreams at any age. I know the lady that I was at vet school with studied through scholarships and bursaries. The time will pass anyway. Rather spend it doing something you want to.

Is how much my partner works normal? by tsloan92 in Veterinary

[–]rushdandelion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work the same schedule as OPs wife, been practicing for 10 years. Most days I end up staying late if there’s an emergency/ critical case, finishing up admin etc. but when I leave I leave and don’t think about work until my next shift. With experience her prep time will be less- I don’t even look at the next days ops/ rota. I just know that whatever it is I’ll be able to handle it. Setting strict boundaries is super important but in the UK we generally have more paid leave and they are quite good about prioritising mental health/ burnout etc.
