@laura__palmer I understand that. As stated before Laura, the illness was the deciding factor. He was unwell. 

@laura__palmer okay thanks for that. 

@kittyj many thanks. Very well said. 

@laura__palmer These feelings manifested because he was mentally unwell. He lost all reason and logic. 

@sarahjp The mental illness was the deciding factor. He was very unwell. 

Alot more to do with serious untreated mental health issues. He wasn't Andrew Tate. He was not in his right mind. He had a fixation and it was women. Please don't turn this into something it isn't for more clicks. I expect better journalism than this. 

Let me add to that one - don't keep on mentioning how 'dry' my skin is each time I go in for a brow wax. Every. Time. This was at a last beautician I went to. My current one is fab - no upselling!!

@snorks They just didn't have the time - I just had to take a message - it was a massive restructure and they were dealing with literally hundreds of applications - HR only had about 5 or so people there and so many hours in the day.

@sgtin No. Sorry. You actually don't. 

@dhenn Oh?? so no-one has a second job to pay a mortgage they alone are responsible for? or a carer? or a volunteer?? Interesting. 

Everyone has a cross to bear in life. Sometimes it's kids, sometimes it's other things. Kids are not the only things in life that make you tired. A stressful job, being a carer, mental illness, disability, the list goes on.

@di_p again - I had a sibling with addiction. There are also full-time carers who are childless. Like I said parents are not the only ones allowed to be tired. 

@tanyan I was chasing around an alcoholic sibling. That wasn't very fixable either. Looking after old parents especially one with dementia wasn't very fixable either. I had both and I'm childless. I couldn't walk way either. 

I'm a Receptionist and we were advertising for positions after a massive restructure. Anyhow this young man was getting upset with the hiring process - I told him I could not put him through because the HR dept was processing hundreds of applications. He got very shirty with me and said 'SO YOU CAN'T PUT ME THROUGH?'. I replied 'Not with an attitude like that now or ever. Goodbye'. I got his number, emailed it through to HR so they could match it with his application and gave them the heads up what a complete a-hole he was. 

Saw her show taped live in NYC - she's exactly what you see is what you get - talked to the audience in a lovely chatty way - lovely and very genuine. 

She doesn't look healthy - she looks really unwell and drawn. No thanks. 

Make sure the 'Beginners' class is really the Beginners class. I had a bad experience with one chain studio where it clearly wasn't. I later found out it was a mixture of beginner/intermediate. It was just get people into the studio. And the instructor couldn't of cared less. It was really off-putting. 

I had one who said when discussing diets - 'Yes, I would prefer you were slimmer'. When he wanted to meet up later I just blocked him. Done. 

@cat Exactly. Try telling my old personal trainer that. She did a number of certificates, would of had rudimentary knowledge of nutrition during her one year course at TAFE but it's not degree level - i.e. studying food, diet is what a dietician has done exclusively for four years straight - sometimes at Masters level. She even got her nose out of joint when I verified that her assessment of my foot was indeed correct after I spoke to a Podiatrist. She seemed offended when I deferred to people who had degree level knowledge or practised this exclusively as opposed to someone who was certificate level. 

Great article. I just wish more PT's would see the light. I've just fired my personal trainer because of a number of issues - she operated out of her area competencies such as putting me on a diet that made me put on even more weight, she got upset when I went to an actual dietician to make sure I was eating in a nutritious manner. She would also put other related professions down because deep down she was either too lazy to further her knowledge and was threatened by them.
