Wow, and I thought it was all talk. Why did he quit? Was it a genuine reason?

It was a call center job -- he's only ever done inbound before, and while he was very good during the training he said he just couldn't handle how aggressive they needed him to be. I was furious at the time he told me he'd quit, but he already has a lead on two other interviews within the next week. I'm kind of at the point where I just don't care too much anymore. :D

Durham is where the posh Geordies live. I bet gazza doesn't know where it is.

Actually they are so far south they might stray into Yorkshire when they are out rustling sheep.

Here is a photo of a typical north easterner: (not durham of course - oh let's have a fondue party )

Me & Tmma lived VERY close to each other. Co Durham Crew FTW.

Part CLXXXVIII in Irritating BS my Quasi-SO does: at this late stage in the game, suddenly realising that me moving out of the house means he really has to let me go and railing against how much he hates this. It makes me sad to know I am hurting this man so much, even now.sad.gif

Thanks, Val. He's freaking because I've decided to save even more money (and add to a potential relocation back to the UK fund) by moving in with a friend who happens to be male. At first he said he had no problems whatsoever with this, especially because the friend is in a very committed relationship and I'm not interested, but now he is kind of losing the plot a little. God help me when I start dating again.

Urgh, dating is nasty enough without having that extra baggage. Good luck, babes.

Let me know when you're ready. I've got a lead on a good man! LOL

Is that a lead ( a tip)

or a lead (like on a dog)

or a lead as it a lump of lead to sink him

??

I guess the three are the normal progression of a relationship when you think about it ..

Like the three rings of marriage:

The engagement ring

The wedding ring

The Bo-ring

and don't gimme any of that Walton's stuff coz I know !

Welcome back, Alan.star_smile.gif

Wee touch of social realism there... (Rab Nesbitt)

I am actually an expert on annoying things that one's spouse or whatever does as I have had eight wives.

Only three of them were mine, but it's still good learning

A good question to ask would be how long they were wonderful before they weren't ?

Easy for men to answer that as women are wonderful right up the point where they shut the shop up... but how does it work for women ?

When is he not wonderful any more ? Why didnt you realise he told his same favorite jokes before you married him. Why didn't you know his walks included stops to see the marmots and the swallows nests ? How come you didnt know he liked to inspect moored submarines instead of shoe shops ?

What does it say about women that they didn't realise all these things before they got married but suddenly it becomes important and intolerable 5 nano seconds after the guy signs on the dotted ?

Was it just LUST ?
