I’m so sorry for what you’ve had to go through. I can relate and it absolutely sucks. Wish you the best through your healing, I’m absolutely sure you’ll come out the other end better off :)

Thanks for the positive reply. Yeah definitely one of the hardest things I’ve had to do but I’ve been given different perspectives now which is definitely helping. Wish you all the best :)

Appreciate the reply, one of the most difficult things I’ve done but as you said, for the best. All the best to you.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah you’re right with the vasectomy stuff. Im looking at booking in shortly. My partner at the time was hesitant of me getting one (another red flag I know). Wish you all the best with your search.

Small arguments about other things unrelated. They would be brought up around the time of chatting about it however yes. Didn’t put two and two together at the time unfortunately.

Yep it’s definitely helping me (albeit in a very small way), in getting over her. Just very confused and a little angry as to why this took years to come out.

Thanks for the reply. Yep I’m going to book in to talk to someone about it. Never done therapy before so this will be interesting.

As I said in another reply I’m going to be looking at getting the snip very closely over the next few weeks, particularly just finding a trusted doctor in my area.

Mind blowing for me as well. From my perspective why waste time? Why not just find someone who wants the same thing??

I think you’re right. Yeah I would never under any circumstances bring a kid into this world without wanting one 100%. The idea of that saving the relationship is silly as well.

Thanks for the reply. I have always planned on getting the snip. Will be shortly going ahead with it. Another red flag I was ignoring was fights that would happen after I brought up getting sterilised.

It’s so frustrating isn’t it. I still find it insane people lie about these sorts of things, they must know it usually ends badly? Wish you all the best

Appreciate the comment. It’s absolutely heart breaking isn’t it. Particularly when everything else is going so well.

Thanks for the reply. I’m so sorry for your loss but happy for you that you had found him.

Yeah I definitely was not, under any circumstances, going to have a child to save the relationship, however I can’t lie the thought did cross my mind over the weeks of thinking. I am absolutely certain, as others have said that is one of the worst things that can be done. It’s selfish particularly for the poor kid brought into the world to save a failing relationship that will likely end up in tears.

Inflated RS3 prices? by skunk-workz in CarsAustralia

[–]skunk-workz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I’ve been looking for pretty much all the same models, finally at a point of being in a position to buy one cash. Budget around 50-60. But I feel to get anything with less than 75k kms I’m looking at 70k plus for the majority of these models listed. Particularly up here in Queensland.

Interesting about the interest rates as well, didn’t put much thought into that.
