hello everyone,

just after a little bit of advice on what to do now after stuffing up.

Basically I quit my job to go travelling through Europe and mum was meant to send me some money for when I got back as I had a few set backs and didn't want that to stop me going on my trip. Then I came back a week early and mum still hadn't transferred me the money and end result my girlfriend had to cover rent for me.. She is obviously not happy about this. Mum has finally got sorted and the money should arrive in a few days (better late than never right) then I went to Oktoberfest this weekend just passed and this sort of clinched it for the missus and we had quite the row when I got back today as she has had to wait on booking a new years eve trip since she wasn't able to afford it because of me and all the while I was in munich with the boys..

I know its all on me and I'm an idiot etc etc but if mum had just transferred me the money when she was supposed to then this would all be fine :(

Now I'm feeling all sad about myself and wanted to get it off my chest. So OCUK is there anything you guys can offer to potentially save my relationship!

yes stop relying on mummy and may be your GF will think better of you :eek:
 
you went to oktoberfest AFTER your mrs paid your rent and you knew you owed her, dont blame your mum, grow up and take responsibility for yourself, I dont blame her tbh
 
Is your mum upset? I'm sure an apology would easily save the relationship you have with your parents, unless there's something you're not telling us. Good luck.
 
i know its my fault. I'm 24 and only have the 2 years here to get as much done as I can so no point having a savings account or what not and don't want to miss anything. Also did spend a lot less at oktoberfest than I would have but still more than nothing I guess.

oktoberfest was booked and paid for earlier and I had to fork out £1000 just before my trip so mum offered to spot me that rather than shorten/ruin my trip
 
Mate your girlfriend was bitter in the first place that you were on holiday with the boys. You just gave her the perfect excuse to cause an argument without coming across as a complete cow.
 
Surely if you had a healthy relationship she'd be glad you were having fun? And glad to help? Or understanding that you'd made arrangements that hadn't worked out?

She just wants to moan. Fishing for flowers or chocolate or something.

Exactly. She would be understanding at the very least. Particularly on the rent side of things. I see it might leave her short but she could no doubt handle it without being such an ass.

She wasnt happy you were away with friends, as much as she might have made out she was.
