In that case, I think you should see if there are any cheap flights going, and get back out there to Ski with Tony :shock:

Seriously, sorry that everyone seems to have had problems. I'm sure you have made the correct decision on the interview front, and I hope it all works out for the best in the future.

Wow

there is something jinxed about this forum/week/resort

why do i say that?

Monday night - having dinner in a restraunt - my girlfriend of 4.5 years tells me she has decided she isnt happy in our relationship and wants to be alone

after our 2nd day of skiing

torture in pardise - the sun is out and theres not a cloud in the sky

did sarenne yesterday - lovely. took about an hour with a few stops. did the tunnel today - oh my god. This is only my 2nd week of skiing, but I learnt fast. Despite that, it was the most challenging run Ive attempted. Made it down in one peice but the steeps were full of 2 feet high moguls and polling on the flats gets so tiresom!

so, after all the hassle of getting here Im now trying to arrange flights home!!! how ironic.

Jeez, she could have at least waited until the end of the holiday.

I wouldn't bother trying to arrange flights home, leave her to it and try to enjoy the rest of your week. Jump out to a bar and see if you can meet some people to ski with for the next couple of days.

Bad news :(

Sami, I do hope you are trying to arrange a flight home for her and not you!

Well done for skiing The Tunnel...We did the Sarenne twice because it was such a lovely run but decided to leave the tunnel for our next trip in three weeks. We are going with friends then...Safety in numbers!

wow - it might be difficult but i would boost off on your own if i were you, and at least enjoy the rest of your holiday - if you are anything like me, you look forward to it all year so it would be a shame to come home early

Sami,
I find that really hard to believe :shock:

However, they do say that having holidays together can be extremely stressful, and lead to break-ups. But it does seem very strange, if you had no hint of it before. And I also think you should stay behind and continue ski-ing without her, if she wants to go home.

I always leave my husband behind when I go ski-ing with our kids :D He looks after the dog, the farm, and the holidaymakers and I go and have some fun without him - ski-ing I mean :wink:

And in case you think I'm just a mean person, he went on holiday to Australia for 5 weeks last summer with his sister, and I looked after everything at home on my own while he was gone. And as I have said elsewhere, we have been married for 25 years, and together for 29 years. We are partners in business and marriage.

At this time I dont really feel that I can enjoy the rest of the week. I dont want to be here alone, would just like to get home, see my family and friends.

Im trying to arrange flights for both of us - like Ive said, its not so enjoyable at the moment. I did the tunnel today and even though it was the most challenging thing Ive done on skis it didnt really take my mind off her. The problem is, at the moment I dont have much else going on in my life. I want to get home and work on doing more, have more hobbies, see my friends more etc because in the last few years Ive spent the majority of my time with her (the longest we have ever been apart is 3 or 4 days - edit - 2 nights!).

There has been hints of problems with us, but we have had other stresses in our lives with jobs and money and other things, so I attributed the down turn in our relationship to those things. I thought in time things would settle and improve.

Appreciate all the comments

Sami
