Magnus Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Pulling my hair out at my relationship issues right now. Just in a mess. It's not doing me any favours. Having trouble deciding between two girls again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Quite the opposite, she's trying to decide between me and a girl. None in particular, just women in general. We've been texting for a few hours now and each time it goes downhill. It's worth mentioning she suffers from depression and other issues that means she can't always coherently recall timelines of events, one day she'll be fine and the next she'll be anti, but it keeps messing with my head. I sort of want her to just get it over and done with and decide but she's really the only person I see outside work these days - I really don't want to lose that either.

Well, if it's that serious, it won't just go away like that. If it really is messing with your head, you'll have to ask yourself if you can deal with it in the long run as well, because there's a good probability you'll have to.

EddieColeslaw Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I have yet again been defeated by the stupid Chinese browser interface of my old router.

The Bard Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I've been in Saudi for, lets say, 7 days now, even though the days and nights are interminable and I've lost all track of real time that isn't tied to some abstract number I see on my computer monitor. Been lying in bed pretty much all day every day, because there is 45C heat on a daily basis and I genuinely cannot muster the motivation to get out/ do anything other than read and drink way way too much coffee/ steal sedatives out of my parent's medicine shelf. On top of that I've got the worst back ache, and a gnarly unkempt beard. Need to come back to England, my blood is too thick for this climate.

Will Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Realizing that a girl you left for a job opportunity was maybe the only girl you ever truly loved :-( Can't really regret it as I know that had I not gone for it I'd have resented staying behind. But being with my very close friends tonight they make me see sense and I know this girl meant way more to me than I let her at the time. Unfortunately I burnt all bridges with her and she doesn't even want to acknowledge me anymore. Feel pretty shit right now which is something I very rarely do. Just wish there was some way to sort things out with her, unfortunately I don't think there is :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Pretty much screwed now in my job prospects. You know the other week I was talking about my crappy bus service, one bus in the mornings then one back at night. Well now my village has been removed from the bus route altogether! Don't know what I'm going to do now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 "My job prospects are screwed because of a lack of buses." "Learn to drive." "That's perfect, learning to drive doesn't cost anything! Why didn't I think of this?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellmeister Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 "If you think about the future there is a long term gain in learning to drive. Start up costs may be high but it will likely help in the future! Maybe you should have thought of that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Ashley - what other option does he have? Either he moves, protests about the buses which will take time and may not amount to anything or desperately hope he can find some taxi service that does it cheaply - ie the parentals. Thats one of the reasons I learnt to drive, yes it IS expensive to learn, especially now, with petrol and that, but when you don't really have any other option it isn't that stupid an idea.

Ashley Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Personally I'd say he move, but then I'm a city lover I'm not saying its impossible to learn to drive, if anything I was merely mocking Ell for his response. Although it does annoy me when people talk about driving as something easy, or even something everyone should want to do. I have no desire to learn to drive (although will one day because I know its practical). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it does annoy me when people talk about driving as something easy, or even something everyone should want to do. I have no desire to learn to drive (although will one day because I know its practical). Is that not a bit contradictory? I think that driving is a skill that everyone should have and having a driving license helps your job prospects in a lot of different professions. If you live in a village where there's a poor public transport service then driving is even more important as it allows you to get out of your village to go to work. Yes, it's expensive and the costs of owning a car are soaring right now but it's worthwhile. If I didn't drive I wouldn't be able to get to the office because its in someones garage in their house and there's 2 buses a day at weird times. It would also take me hours to get there each day. Driving takes 20 minutes. When I'm doing my teaching I'm at pools which are totally different parts of the city and while there is public transport available to some of them, which I've used on occasion, it takes a hell of a long time and because my teaching generally only lasts a couple hours max there's no point in going on a huge journey.

No. I said I know driving is a skill that is pretty much necessary nowadays and thus I will learn one day. It's just I don't want to. Driving doesn't interest me.

Happenstance Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Do you pay any rent Happenstance? No I dont at the moment, only when im working. To be honest guys, I already know I need to learn to drive and move out but I cant afford to move out until ive got a job and ive had a problem with cars ever since I was in a crash back in college. Goafer will tell you im not the best passenger to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
