At least you've won a final in the last 20 yesrs.Footy. When the Roos went downhill initially, I was shitty. North had been decent, if not quite good in the years prior.
2 or so years ago it became funny, because it was absurd how bad things had started to get. That period was almost great - there was no expectation and when something occasionally went right it was good for a laugh.
Now I feel like it's fully wrapped around again, and it makes me genuinely sad that something I used to really enjoy has been ruined for me lol
he probably won't want to sit all day anyway, worse thing for your back

This nation lost an icon today.Vale Jack Karlson, he was just eating a succulent Chinese meal
If he did want to transition to office work, I’ve worked with some people who are extremely challenged by technology, it can all be taught.Sitting isn't so bad, it's the twisting and turning that triggers it. He's fine to just lay bricks, but mixing up mortar and everything is what does most of the damage.
I think he's having a meeting next week with an organization that helps with older people transitioning to new work.
Thanks OTC.I’m sorry to hear this RU_
Have you thought about some counselling or doing a big reset and starting again to find what it was that connected you both in the first place
Sometimes we just fall in to bad habits and start taking one another for granted and forget that it’s not always jobs, mortgages and bills
I’d also be really pushing the counselling if possible. Forgiveness of things that are said and done can be extremely hard for both yourself and partner and that is ultimately what needs to happen. Holding onto things will only make it fester. Even if you could get her to talk about it to a close friend or family rather than a counsellor.Thanks OTC.
Have suggested this as well. She’s concerned that she can’t look past a few things I’ve said that she’s taken in a different way to what I meant and resents me for it. If she doesn’t want to talk these through with a professional I don’t see a way forward, personally.
I’d prefer if it was to a councillor, the general gist of what I said ~2 years ago was:I’d also be really pushing the counselling if possible.

I feel for you mate as it is sounding like she doesn’t want to attempt to fix anything but is taking the route of it’s over. Maybe others are feeding her feelings too which makes reconciliation harder. I totally understand your attraction stance , there’s things in my relationship that I don’t like but I know that makes up a small part of what is great in our relationship. I hope you can make her see things from your perspective.I’d prefer if it was to a councillor, the general gist of what I said ~2 years ago was:
When we first started dating I was attracted to someone who trained, ate healthy, cared about health and fitness, etc as it’s a massive part of my life and is in general a positive environment. That has shifted on her side and she doesn’t train, doesn’t track food, etc and I admitted I found that ‘trait’ to not be an attraction to me. I’ve on countless occasions confirmed that I don’t mean physically, and that I mean it by the way of lifestyle and the environment we live within.
Understandably she has taken that as me saying I’m not attracted to her, which I’ve told her is not what I’m saying repeatedly, but she’s just latched onto it for 2 years now and resets me for making her feel like shit.
Essentially she doesn’t think that I can provide the environment that she requires and she can’t provide the environment that I require. I have gotten past the fact that her interests differ from what they did almost 5 years ago, and she has expressed interest in running now but has some medical conditions that require treating first for her to be able to run a marathon or whatever she wants to do, but every time she says ‘I can’t because of x’ and I suggest she gets the ball rolling with a specialist appointment, she doesn’t want to. I did suggest the other night that ‘WE’ book the specialist appointment and I will go with her, but that was met with her saying she just wants to end it and move on essentially.
I’m hoping a professional could help express that better than I can. I probably sound like a campaigner based on the above, but I promise I don’t intend it the way you’re thinking and as you can imagine, when she speaks to her family and friends I’d get portrayed in a very bad light based on the above.
My parent's house - the family home - which mum and dad bought in 1981, and I spent 29 years of my life in, is on the market.
Too big for my mum to maintain now since my dad died. It's for the best but it's still sad.
We had one week to empty my late FIL’s house which had been sold with immediate settlement. (He was in care at that stage.) I still don’t know how we did it.Think packing up first the family home and then my mums unit was one of the toughest things I’ve done
Her doctor will notice. Is someone looking after her in her house? Dementia is progressive and there's no way to know how. Eventually it becomes too much for carers to manageMy grandma’s dementia.
We’re never gonna book her for a diagnosis but we all know she has it.
She’s in a roughly 6/7 quote loop and has lost complete interest in things.
Couldn’t even remember her kids’ names at some point yesterday.
