Thread: Embarrassment

I think I mentioned to you Banjo that we bought one of those $399 Aldi washing machines, mate, its going like a ripper, Mrs Aus has put several loads through it already. Going in next week to have a look at their $99 water blaster. The driveway badly needs a pressure clean. Well, I'm outta here mate, have to do a wedding this Arvo, they are getting married on the waterfront at Bolton Point, couldn't ask for a better day,aye what!!!!

Can I toss in a challenging little thought, Banjo? Here it is:

Your happiness DOESN'T depend on Karen's, or anyone else's, approval.

I realise you will find that very hard to consider or accept, but it's true.

You don't need the approval or Karen or your parents or Ausfree or your children or me or anyone else to be happy. There's only one person your happiness depends upon: Can you guess who it is?

I'ts...















YOU. No-one else, just you.

Just a little thought for the day.

If so, you could move on, continue your improvement, organise a project, maybe knock up a shed that could be pulled apart if you move, and go forwards with your life.


Just a thought. All the best, mate.

You mentioned the money for the fridge. I am sure that if (and ask Karen's approval if you feel you need to) you spent the money on a shed or shelter for you to do some 'project' work in, then your FRIENDS here would probably be more than happy to chip in for the fridge IF you end up needing it.

Just a suggestion - or as Mick says - just a thought.

I also said in my recent post that it was an honour to be one of your friends. I am sure the other supporters on this Thread would love to meet you if they lived closer. Remember Banjo there is a negative and positive side to every occurance, even though you might not thinks so at the time.

I ahve already been siting in the shed with a rope around my neck just don't Karen or the kids to be the ones to find me...

well chated with Karen after she came home from the gym..She doesn't want to work it out she thinks..& she wont let me help her by her talking to me about whats going on in her head or in her body....

Like she said even with me doing everything she doesn't feel a thing about it & couldn't care about it or us....She doesn't even talk to the kids she tells me its an efort just to do that....

She will not give me even the slitest bit of trust so that i can proove to her i wont break again & i will not under any sercomstance do this to her again & let her down......

I have promised on my life that i wont let her down & i am going to keep it up because im doing it for her......
She says she will never be able to relie on me cause i couldn't even go to the kids births or even down the road when she asked me or EVEN when she put her foot down because we just got into the bigest arguments & i would break things in the house so she says that she seriously doubts she will ever trust me or relie on me for anything...

& she has no feelings for me at all.......

So more than likely i will end up at mums & yes i will probably turn the lights out after a few weeks of there crap & once the oldman starts that will just hurry the process up...
