Sorry, it's another thread by stupid Joe90.

I need to get this off my chest, as I am so disappointed. My boyfriend said he has Friday off, and that we will go to the seaside because it's going to be hot. Then his boss asked him to work and he said yes. He didn't have to work on his day off. He's always working. He needs a day off. But he can't say no. Now I've got nobody to go to the seaside with. He said he's got 2 days off next week, but knowing this country the heatwave will probably be over by then and it might be cold and wet. So this Friday would have been perfect. He needs to learn to say no. If my boss asks me to work on my day off and I have plans, I do tell him that I can't.

I'm fed up with men. I do love him very much but at the moment I am pissed off. I got up early this morning because I couldn't sleep, and sat in the living-room eating some toast. Then my boyfriend came in and told me to get out because he wants to be in there alone before he goes off to work. I know why he's miserable like this, it's because he's tired and overworked. He's working too much. He needs a day off. So I've just got to suffer his bad moods just because he won't say no to his boss.

I just despair, I really do. I wish he'd learn to say no. I'm feeling very down. :cry: :cry:

Come on, Joe, you can’t let the guy throw you out like that....he’s taking his crap out on you.

I know how you feel. And I hope it’s still hot next week.

I’ll give you some 32 degree New York weather.

He just threw me out the living-room, so I had to go to the bedroom. I wouldn't mind if he said it in a nice way, but he sounded so pissed off that I was there. I know he's tired, but more fool him for agreeing to work 8 days a week. It's not like he can't afford to have one day off. I just want to have a day to spend with him as a couple. Is it wrong to want that?
There's going to be a fresh wind from the west next week. The west from us is the US, therefore we should get hot weather. But no, it's going to be cooler. I want it to stay above 24 Celsius until September.

I'm glad you posted Kraftie, as I always like your posts. But the Haven seems so deserted lately.

I just feel fed up with my boyfriend being grumpy because of working too much but not asserting himself when asked to work on his days off. Like I said, it's not like he can't afford to have a day off.

He might like his job—or he might fear being fired.

Can you go on the weekend, Joe? Does he work on weekends too?

He needs some off time. He probably doesn't want to let his boss down but should say "no" now and then. Maybe they are short-staffed.

I hope you get to go on the beach trip with him. Sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for, and make up for the disappointments life throw at us.

Hugs!

I doubt he'd get fired for saying no on his day off. He's literally worked 9 days straight, he does need a day off. The company cannot fire him, and he doesn't often say no, in other words he does a lot of favours.
It's just that he promised me he'll keep that day free to spend some time with me. He's working Saturday, but I prefer going to the beach during weekdays because it gets busy with families at weekends. He doesn't like crowds either.

Normally I don't complain when he works on his days off, but this time it's just disappointed me.

It also (probably) brings in more money for him to treat both of you with, when he works on days he was supposed to be off.

It’s going to be warm for at least the next week in the U.K.

You might hit 35 Celsius tomorrow in some places. 95 Fahrenheit.

Sorry, I just worry in case people get fed up with me in the Haven.

Well, I see a woman in a steady relationship.
I, on the other hand, have never, ever had a boyfriend and looks like I never will.
Mostly because I am heterosexual, but that is beside the point. :mrgreen:

Yes.
The sign said:"Smile, things could be worse."
So I smiled.
And sure enough, things did get worse. :mrgreen:
