Good advice for all

I reckon she should open the mystery box to cheer herself up. Finding creepy squigs penis picked in a beetroot jar will give her the lift she needs.

It's been a chard days night and I've been cooking up some slop
It’s been a chard day’s night, and I’ve been shaking like a shitting dog.

*I know I’m a bit late to the party and we’ve moved on to a major lights OFF but I couldn’t resist. Also, Jack, get off Twitter you fucking ghoul.

Goes on Countryfile to talk about veganism, dresses as Tory landowner…
View attachment 1385584
It’s enraging that this flesh guzzling fraud ever dared to be a spokesperson for veganism. The brass neck on it.

Also, pretty sure I’ve seen that garish shirt elsewhere other than countryfile, so probably worn more than once. Despite her claims that it was “new without tags”.

That's such an odd way to describe relationship heartbreak.

Back when my fella and I first started dating we broke up temporarily (I ended things very stupidly because he wasn't saying the right stuff. Took me a while to clock that he was showing me he loved me in other ways etc)

And in the couple of weeks we were apart I was MISERABLE. I missed stupid things like stroking his beard and giggling with him before we fell asleep.

If I was going to overshare on Twitter I don't think 'having someone else to help with the shopping' and 'cancelling a holiday' would be things that would be concerning to me.

Jack's current Twitter garbage reminds me of my Facebook statuses 14 years ago, but with less genuine emotion behind them.

I have been with my husband more than a decade and we have no joint calenders. We have a calender in the kitchen with things like take kid one to dentist, take kid two to sports day etc, that's it.

And her dog.
I know it doesn't work for everyone, but my friend found that taking her dog on long walks really helped her depression.

I think often, the pain of a breakup also comes from mourning a future you thought you'd have with that person. I think that's very fair, and is one explanation for why a breakup from a shorter relationship can be devastating. If you're with someone and making future plans (both in good faith at the time) and talking about a future, especially if you're at an age where you might feel (rightly or wrongly) that you're "running out of time", to suddenly lose all that AND miss the person is extremely difficult. It doesn't matter if it was only a few months. Of course, there's an argument to be made for not getting ahead of yourself, but generally we're wired to forge connection and reproduce, and it's not wrong to start to tentatively plan a future with someone, especially if they seem to be doing the same. (And of course, there are good and bad reasons to want to be with someone, but the heart wants what it wants and sometimes it's hard to step back and really examine your own motivations.)

I'm not saying this is the case with Jack and OH. Who knows what went on there. She's dreadful, and I won't give her the benefit of the doubt, based on her past behaviours as evinced on Twitter. She probably is missing the "wrong" things.

I just wanted to offer a different perspective on why (for non-Jacks) the length of a relationship doesn't have to correlate with the sadness you feel at it ending.

I feel bad for reducing your excellent post down to this, but

"Wafting around Asda like a Smartprice Ghost"

would be a fantastic thread title.

I’d just bookmarked to drag back later in the thread
