"Skip" you say?
Oh no, there was no community action, nor a skip.
But she completed it mate, in 2021 didn't she?
Retrospective acknowledgement. Hasty amendment!
I kind of hope she deactivates again so we can fully pivot this thread over to Tales of Tree Surgery.
I thought she wanted to keep her private life private?
Saying you have terrible arthritis and then cutting the garden with kids scissors = damaged behaviour. There you go Jack.

My money's (all of 20p) on her throwing a complete tit fit because he was spending the weekend with his kids/Dad and wouldn't respond to a few hundred messages demanding he come and pick her up off the floor, howling and clawing. And when he finally phoned and found out it was 'because the landlady's cutting down my - sniff - tree', he thought 'duck. This. tit'.
Well, that and his ex finding out that she's practically designed the Nursery already can't have helped his stress levels.
Erm… *shuffles feet Britishly* but she is damaged and damaging. I admire anyone who was in a relationship with her and was brave enough to be completely honest with her.
I feel for SB. She’s usually so distracted by Twitter (settle a debate between me and SB, caramac or caramilk type of shite) when they spend time together, or she’s making him eat crappy food, humiliating him by shitting with the door opened in front of his pals, infantilising him with lego flowers and rock tumblers, appropriating his football team etc.
then she invites a new partner into the mix who she’s nuzzling, cooking fancy meals for etc.
now that he’s got her to himself again she’s completely broken by another failed relationship and won’t focus on him.
poor wee guy.
I really sincerely kindly hope she stays clear of romantics for a while. She's not ready, I get she might be lonely as well as other adult things but she needs to her her head in the game and for once be happy with herself. I have watched countless friends skip from relationship to relationship because the thought of being alone literally terrifies them. I have always be comfortable on my own so when I was single it never bothered me, much and I can be my own person in a relationship without the need to be attached at the hip to my partner.
She cannot be alone nor can she let her partner be during a relationship. I get she must be very clingy and needy and I'm sure it must be draining.

Jack said she is damaged and different.
Damaged things can be repaired, but that takes time and effort. If she wanted to get better she could.
As for being "different", well she isn't. She is one of the most ordinary, conventional women I have met. A few ugly tattoos and bad haircuts do not make you "different".

Imagine all the pointless chaoses OH had to endure (if he’s real - I’m assuming he is for the sake of argument). The Jubilee party gun thing and Jack being told off by her dad; the police visit; the constant tweeting; the “bad arthritis” on the train; the buying mountains of crap in Dutch junk shops; the tree; the messy cluttered house; the libel thing; the “accidental” nuzzling of his brother; the COOKING 
; it just goes on and on. If you thought you were seeing a grown adult with some accomplishments under their belt, then were faced with all this childishness, and especially if you came to the realisation that all those “accomplishments” were in fact hot air … well then I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.
Also, I don’t like the way she describes AA meetings as if they are her own personal support group, there just to validate and lift her up. I would think the whole point is that there will be others in the group who struggle and need just as much, if not more, support. I hope they get their chance to be heard too.

I am flipping between emotions - most (probably all) of it is Jack's fault, but there is a sadness that her only outlet is Twitter.
I suspect it was a light, casual thing - have someone to go out with where there was no drink. Jack has read far more into it, OH has run away like startled fawn. The Twitter addiction and outbursts are very Kevin the Teenager - it's not fair blah blah.
Please Jack, deploy Cooper. Get a kebab and ice cream on Deliveroo. Go to bed. Return tomorrow with an inexplicable egg on some fish monstrosity. Start to act your age. Build a better relationship with your son and family.

My father LEFT us when I was fairly young, he was a serial womanizer and alcoholic. I can't remember all the girlfriends we met, but largely we saw them once or twice. We didn't stay with him so slightly different, but we would give them a chance before being annoying if they were no fun. I don't have bad memories of it, it was our family in joke about them. But this was pre internet, none of them were famous (to the best of my knowledge!) and I don't think we were that bad. If any of them are here, sorry, but it was our way of having fun!
There’s all of this, but imagine walking off a plane after a trip to Venice and your partner stopping people and asking for their Pringles lids?Imagine all the pointless chaoses OH had to endure (if he’s real - I’m assuming he is for the sake of argument).

“Made of strong stuff?” She dissolves quicker than a snowman in a heatwave at the mere mention of the VBI!
Like a Primark bag in the rain.
This is why Jack's relationships are doomed. She uses her child, her parents and anyone else for Twitter likes.
It is almost as if Jack was preparing the ground for this dramatic, heartbreaking If you have tears prepare to shed them break up.
There will probably be another twist in the narrative soon.
There are countless jokes I want to make about Harold seeing the light, but on a serious note, I remember the months of histrionics and batshit behaviour after SHE LEFT, and the impact that must have had on SB. I truly hope she doesn't spiral again. She needs to take a long break from relationships and focus on her child (even if he's only with her one or two days a week, he needs to be her number one priority) instead of jumping with both feet first into another romantic entanglement or spending weeks on end feeling sorry for herself over this one. OH was yet another step-parent figure who was introduced into her child's life very quickly and has now gone.

I refuse to believe the Harvester was the final straw. They have a salad bar that has tomatoes and cucumber and sweetcorn and lettuce and pepper…
