I’m sorry we moved here together and thought our relationship would be great and we would live happily ever after. I’m sorry I didn’t follow my gut instinct and just break up with you 4 years ago when I started thinking “humm, what is the future of this?” No, I followed my stupid heart. I’m sorry that I chose family and Halifax over career and as a result I have more debt and a boyfriend who’s a complete prick and asshole to me randomly. I’m sorry that all this bullshit has resulted in me not being able to see my dear friends in months and that I can’t stand the sight of myself. I’m sorry this is likely all my fault. Happy Valentines Day, now please get the fuck out of my life if I make you as miserable as you say I do! Next time I’m going out with a Maritime guy!
—Gives better advice than follows it!

Your life is what you make it. Nothing bothers me more then people who complain about where they are in life yet take no steps to change it.
If you don’t love your bf, break up with him.
If you want to see your friends more, see your friends more and fuck everyone who critizes you for it.
If you want to get a better job and want to get out of debt, work for it. Get the education you need, work towards getting the career you want, and make consistent and long term plans to pay off your debt.
It’s not an easy process, but it’s a hell of a lot better than sitting around doing nothing and being bitter towards those in your life.
Case. Fucking. Closed
I’m sorry I wasted two minutes of my life reading this.
The best advice someone gave me a long time ago:
“Women are responsible for their own happiness.”
Of course this doesn’t ONLY apply to women—but it came up in a specific context at a time when a lot of women I knew seemed to be stuck in a cycle of being “victimized” by the unpredictable whims of others. Not saying that you are, but I’m just telling you how it came to me.
Life can be hard, and people can let you down.
So whadda ya do? You get out there and try to make things better where you can. Start with the little things, make progress towards the bigger things. It’s all any of us can do.
And don’t feel bad for following your heart—that’s part of life too. Now you are free to follow your heart (with the added assistance of your gut and your mind) to new and better things.
is this my wife???
guess I’ll find out when I get home and the place is empty.
LoL zZz.
run ahead, don’t look back, make your own future. there are plenty of decent people around this area. just stay away from the wannabes and bangers. ask anyone on here what they think,but do what you have to do, for yourself. think of the one first.then the other/s later.
Yawn….
“Next time I’m going out with a Maritime guy!”
Hello OP, nice to meet you! Wanna go out for coffee and sex some time?
Gotta hand it to Q, at least he’s honest 😉
GET OUT LADY!!!!!!
Save yourself even more heartache and leave! The longer you drag this out, the more invested you become, and the harder it is to leave. No man is worth giving up your dreams and career over… relationships are about compromise, NOT about compromising your own happiness and success. I was in a similar situation a few years back and when I finally broke free it was the best feeling I have ever had- to know that I was finally back in charge of my own life. People seem to forget how important it is to have individuality… to feel accomplishment that YOU’VE achieved, to be in charge or YOURSELF and YOUR dreams… once you’re satisfied with you is when you can start looking for your compliment- although I say fuck it! You will always have successes and failures but you will also always have support from those who love you.. you don’t need a man to give that to you. Be selfish! Take care of you! And have the most fantastic time doing it! Stop answering to others, who only make you miserable.. get out now and take this as a learning experience, instead of staying and letting it become regret.
Thanks PDG, I do my best. Mind if I borrow your bus? My mom’s home.
