Comments

  • Nearly everything is bad as boyfriend no longer wants to live with me....Understandable I never told him the truth when I should Have..!!!!

    The only good thing is I got a Job start monday......wages are the lowest min wage cosidering I have a BSc and a Postgrad IT so I will have to get a part time job just to eat.

    I will also have to tell my folks and sister and they will be really annoyed...etc...!!!

    It's difficult to talk or write about it without getting so upset.

    I will try and update when I have more of a resolve......!!!

    HI Caroline I

    I just wanted to drop you a line of support. I'm sorry your boyfriend has taken such a dim view of this and all i can say is that if he's worth keeping he will calm down if he doesn't he wasn't worth having.

    There was a lady on a while back who's husband walked out on her and her children when she told him about her debt but he came back so all is not lost.

    Congratulations on the job.

    Cazzer,

    Have just read you thread and wanted to send you a great big HUG.

    Sorry I can't really offer too much practical advice, but if you're qualified in IT (did I read that right??) my husband found that there were some great job agencies out there specialising in IT, when he was out of work.

    Hope your family don't give you too hard a time, they might surprise you.

    Keep posting, they are a great bunch on here, and I'm sure there'll be plenty of advice/sympathy/good vibes/support coming your way.

    Take care of yourself

    Lizzy

    Hi there, really sorry about your rubbish day!

    I agree with MissPoppy, hopefully your boyfriend will come round to what you have told him and support you (through thick and thin)! This could just be a reaction.

    Just wanted to give you a little note of support !!

    Cazzer, am sure OH will be back once he's had some time to think, it probably came as a huge shock to him and so he needs a bit of time alone

    If he doesn't want to live with you then where will you live, i.e. do you live with him at the moment in his house? I wasn't clear from your original post

    Congratulations on the job that's great. I know wages aren't perfect as you've said but you could see it as something to keep you going until a better job comes along, I always think it's easier to find a new job if you're working already

    Please keep us all updated and continue asking for help/support etc x x
    Money doesn't make you happy so I'm skint but cheerful :beer:
  • Thanks everyone for all your support....Update....I think my boyfriend may thinking about forgiving me and won't be throwing me out....phew....!!!

    It will take time to heal the wound of trust and hopefully I will be out of debt in the next three years if I use all my skills and a full time job to resolve this situation.

    I will keep you up to date ....thanx...caroline

    Hi Caroline,
    Good luck for your new job, you never know, it may lead you to find a really good position!
    they always say it's easier to find work when you've got work.
    Consider this a stepping stone to the career you deserve!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
