let down

[nybor62]

should have been starting a new job last thursday, on wed trying to contact my partner to arrange pick up time, not answering phone or replying to texes
9,15 pm wed night i get a text , hi rob ive been thinking long ans hard about this and ive decided i dont want to work with you anymore, i know its not a good time to spring this on you , i hope u understand

i should mention that it is is van has mine packed up

how furious was i tried ringing him no answer, so thursday morn ring him he answers , what the hell is going on you have dropped me right init
is reply was , well you get all the work and take it for granted that i want to do it, some mornings when i wake up i dont want to go to work but feel that i have to because of you ,
this guy has lived of my work contacts for the last 2 years and this is how he repays me, right get my tools over to me now dont muck me about,
ok he says i will fetch them over later, about 2 hrs later i get a text ,are you in im bringing tools over , ok no probs , 5 mins later another text tools are on there way ive sent them over in a taxi
now i am boiling over , i ring him up , what are you playing at , you coward , he thought it was best we did,nt meet face to face ,
still got some tools missing , he wont answer phone or reply to my texts , my wife has stopped me from going to his house because of what i might do, but i dont think i can hold it back much longer
he had a private job lined up worth about 900 each , i questioned him about it but he reckons he did,nt get it , i reckon he,s doing it on his own
well i hope its worth it:mad2::mad2::mad2:

Jeez its loony time at the moment. After 2 years together didnt you see these signs? he sounds like he has problems to me ?

 

[nybor62]

i thought everything was fine , he was at my house wed morn , the same day he dropped the bomb shell
every dog as his day i will get revenge

 

[Gazzer]

No point planning revenge. Just get on with your work and life , dont waste time on him.

 

[Ian]

As Neale says, revenge will solve nothing. Move on and at least he didn't take loads of cash from you.

 

[kilty55]

sorry to hear it ended this way rob,no point in being angry at him hes said his peice and split.

 

[nybor62]

i know your right , im just so angry

 

[Gazzer]

Very understandable but while you are thinking of revenge and letting it consume you ...he is giving it no thought at all and probably out enjoying himself.

 

[Alan.P]

As above re carry on as usual, if they're your contacts then surely he's the one that will loose out in the long run, no tools, no contacts, get some transport sorted and your away.

Good luck mate.

 

[kilty55]

get yourself a nice cold tinny rob

 

[cynic]

well,about this time last year my so called partner /friend came to my house drunk and wanted to fight. luckily he was that drunk he ended up on the floor ,twice .i had supplied 80% of the work we did and transport and apparantly had dissed him. i still dont know what i did but doing fine so, as above forget him move on and good luck.

 

[Ajax123]

As others have said no point being angry and planning revenge. Perhaps give him the benefit of the doubt that there is something more to it that you are not aware of. Leave it behind and get on with your own life. If he comes to talk then listen it but don't get burned twice. If he does not then forget him and move on.

 

[hillhead]

Chin up, move on.
It's not nice but it's life unfortunately.
Good luck with the lone ranger game if you go it.

 

[Gall.B]

You will be better of without a PASSANGER in the long run Rob.

Simmilar thing happened to me a few years back ended up knocking lumps out of each other over a trowel :lol: His Mrs reckoned we where working to hard etc.......

He now no longer works in the trade & im as busy as ever, sure the same will happen to you & he will end up working in Tescos.

 

[Perry]

two guys in one room take longer than 1 guy in 1 room you are on a winner go for it

 

[Daz]

I seriously bear a grudge. I don't get mad, I get even.
Not the best advice, I know, but I understand your thoughts.

As everyone else has said, though, you sound better off without him.
Good luck for the future,

Daz

 

[Mike]

sounds like you're better off on your own rob, a blessing in disguise, just watch he doesn't try pinching your contacts. good luck on your own mate

 

[Andy Allen]

from my experience theres normaly more to these situations than people let on, he might be getting earache from the wife for woking long hours/nights away, still dosn't excuse the way hes dumped you in it, but theses things happen.

ive been in a few partnerships, and had subbies working for me, but to be honest, ive never been happier than working on my own, every cloud has a silver lining, as the saying goes..

 

[nybor62]

im starting a premier inn in malton on monday 40 rooms to do ,ive got a young lad to labour for me, will train him up if he is up to it
booked in for is cscs operative card test on monday evening he seems very keen , only 19 at does,nt drink, im sure i will sort that out

 

[Rich]

Does sound like you are better off on your Todd, its a difficult situation at the best of times. If he has pinched your contract then that is naughty but it is also business, it happens to the best of us. I have been on the other end of this a few times in the past and there is never a good time to walk, I just try to give us much notice as possible but it is not always possible to do that.

Just crack on with it and the chances are he will be on the phone in 6 months time asking for work!

 

[Spud]

I have just been through a similar situation but it was me who wanted to split away on my own ,it was the best decision I have made and I will never go into business with a partner again, Rob it might not seem it now but this guy has done you a massive favour and you will never look back, good luck Gary

 

[paul flight]

same happen to me trained him up feed hin watered him and always paid him at end of the week .even when i was skint. he text me on a sunday " not working any more " would not return my calls or texts . i thought we where friends !! what a mug i was!!! he left me right in the s####. i was so angry . but have had the last laugh . mud sticks and i have throw a lot his way....

 

[MTiler]

what goes around comes around

 

[mz30]

Just my tuppence nybor,when you work closely with someone workin day in day out weekends etc you spend more time with your workmates than you do with your own family and over time it becomes hard, am loyal (probably more than i should be )but have had my own brother work for me for 3 years and it all ended when i lost the plot and punched him ,sometimes its better to just call it a day and move on am happier now workin by myself than i have ever been,Hes probably done you a favour.

P.s am not condoning punchin someone took me a while to forgive myself.

Been there MZ. gets a bit much living in each others pockets working, eating, travelling & lodging together gets a bit much.
