    Forgot to reply to this- I'm really sorry. That's all I can say my heart just dropped when I read the first line :hugs:
    Thanks. I mean, like I say, I was expecting it, but it's still not nice to be confronted with the reality. Added to this, he went to the pub to watch the football (for, like, the third night in a row), came home pretty much straight after because I didn't want to have to go to bed on my own again, and he's in one of those really annoying, argumentative drunk moods. I've ended up coming upstairs and leaving them to it, anyway, because I just can't cope with him when he makes "jokes" that just wind me up and wind me up and wind me up. I get that he's sad about results and wants to let off some steam, but I don't understand why this always has to result in excessive amounts of alcohol. I really do feel like the only adult in this relationship sometimes. Maybe it's because I'm a year older and have finished my degree, I don't know.

    So I've been pretty busy this week seeing friends and working at school! But at the moment in the evenings if I'm just chilling and reading my book or watching tv, if I don't reply for an hour I have the boy texting me again to ask me if im ok or if im mad at him, which was fine at first but constantly being asked that is getting a little annoying! Not really sure what to do :sigh:

    Maybe he just feels guilty that he's run out of money, and is worrying that you're angry at him because you can't see each other. Or maybe he wants to initiate more conversation to make up for the lack of face-to-face time? That would annoy me, too, though!

    That would make me fly off the handle. You always seem to be doing all of his worrying for him and you sound so frustrated because you just can't stop caring and he doesn't look like he cares when he does that... Argh I'm sorry: I don't know how to advise about the alcohol thing, but I can feel how frustrated you are from here, and I hope he gets his act together soon :/

    is it the words, pass us a beer?
    Luckily no, he's not much of a casual drinker. But when footballs on I decide to throw myself into studying so he thinks it's fine to just come through and interrupt me during half time and gets huffy when I tell him I'm busy.... boys!

    It was my fault I didn't really give him chance to hug me before judging the situation. Now I feel bad about complaining.

    :hugs: don't woryy, it's something we all do. I managed to work myself up into a total state a few weeks ago when it took the boy half an hour to kiss me, after he told me that rather thean spensong the night in, we were going to his friends' house to talk about computers and play video games.

    I just came across this, and it really struck a chord - and I expect it will with some of you here as well:

    "Coping with life is like playing tennis. When life hits the ball to you, you need to learn to hit it back. Otherwise the ball is going to smack you in the face. Then there'll be another ball, then another. And it's always life's turn to serve."

    ?http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=46980 I found it on this - which is all about the antidepressant I'm taking. I just can't believe the change I've had taking it - and Jason said the same thing last night. We were walking home discussing our friend (who is probably more depressed than I was) and her refusal to take any medication, and we moved onto me. And he said "I never really expected the anti-depressants to work, I just thought they were a placebo and a bit of a farce. I never thought they would change you so much, and give me back my Trishy."

    I really am going to have to read this book Need to see what it's all about.

    Hope today went well

    Keep your fingers crossed for me girls, think I've found the perfect flatshare for next year. Going to see it tonight and meet one of the girls. Nervous though, the photos are amazing and I'm pretty sure I want it but the girl says she'll have o discuss it with the other flatmate tomorrow so I kinda feel like it's an interview. What if she doesn't like me? :sad: Any tips? Or any questions I should be asking? Never lived in a flatshare before, only lived at home and rented privately with Mark.

    What are you meant to do when you start a new job and then realise that you don't like it at all?

    Feeling trapped as surely nobody want's to hire someone who quits a new job after a couple of weeks.

    I think I've made big mistake and ended up going from being in a place that makes me unhappy for a job I enjoy to still being in the place that makes me unhappy for a job I don't like.

    Thanks, lovely. :hugs: I just feel so trapped. I want to cry just thinking about the whole situation, and when I bring it up with him he's just like, "Well, what do you want me to do about it now?" He keeps saying this summer will be different, but he has SIX modules to re take and no mitigation - so he absolutely has to pass all of them or he'll be kicked out with no questions asked. Plus, obviously my sister's passed (which is great for her!), and it just makes me wonder even more why the boy can't. :sad:

    Have you ever wondered if perhaps this isn't the right path for him?
    That and boys are more immature than girls from mid teens to mid-20s!

    If I'd failed a year of uni (and not for the first time either) I'd be questioning whether I was on the right course or good enough for that course. I'm guessing your boy has these thoughts, must be really stressful for him.

    I did the race for life in a marginally slower time than last year so I'm a bit disappointed! Then I was having a discussion with my friend about weight, I thought I weighed 10st 7 which I thought was a lot.... Turns out I weigh 11st 3 which has totally shocked me! :sad:
