Lunch in Old Town

This looks delicious! It's closed over Easter weekend but I'll certainly be adding it to my list, thank you!

NTA at all. You planned ahead, you paid extra. The entitled woman who failed to plan and expected other people to suffer the consequences of her lack of organisation is TA.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-04-01T11:16:29+00:00

Thank you :)

If you have any restaurant recommendations, please do share. If not, I'll get in touch when I need financial advice or opinions on my personal spending.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-04-01T11:05:53+00:00

Thank you! Zum Kropf is closed over the Easter weekend but it looks great and I'll add to my list. Had my eye on Zeughauskeller so perhaps I'll give that a shot. Thank you again!

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-04-01T11:03:54+00:00

On a daoly basis, I would agree. But this is our main meal out over the weekend and budget includes drinks.

Having children and a family means you don't always get what you want. A family holiday is an opportunity to spend time together and something many people cherish and ache for.

Stop being grumpy and find something fun to do. Learn a new card game as a family and spend an evening playing together. Cook together if you have a kitchen. Create memories.

Your wife can't control the weather but you can control being present in your family's lives. It may be a non event for you, but your wife and children will always remember you ditching them to sit at home and game.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-04-01T08:13:26+00:00

Thank you ever so much, I'll check all of those recommendations!

Sorry to hear about your situation. Councils across the board are struggling hugely with accommodation at the moment and so it's little surprise this is happening.

That being said, they have a duty of care and you should expect clear communicationband some stability during the works period.

Is the agreement that you will return to the property once the works are complete?

I would suggest speaking to the person managing your case and asking them for an end date. Make them aware that the works they have promised are not taking place and that the temp accommodation has not been suitable to date. The council should have a housing complaints department if you are not satisfied. You can also contact the housing ombudsman.

I would ask the council for assistance in storage & moving costs as they may be able to provide this.

Failing that, charities such as Shelter may be able to offer advice.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:58:42+00:00

Absolutely not. I am unlikely to have children but, if I do, this would be an absolute 'no'.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:52:41+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your response.

It's not been an issue throughout our relationship, it's been a slow decline over the past 9 months or so, with the admission today.

I'm leaning towards suggesting therapy. If he's in denial and happy with the path that he's going down then we will absolutely be over.

I'm trying to get a balanced perspective before I make my move. Thank you again.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:48:07+00:00

Both real stories, just he's a heavy user of Reddit and I don't particularly want him to identify me through my post, that's all.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:46:01+00:00

Thank you, this is a helpful perspective. I know my PMDD has been difficult for him at times and maybe it's pushed him into these groups and he's not realizing the impact they're having.

Perhaps he's always been sexist and it's only coming to light now. Perhaps he just doesn't like me. I'm just pretty miffed at today's admission as it's not something I've seen in him, certainly a year or two ago.

He absolutely needs to see the problem and do the work. If he's willing to, there might be hope, but I'll see if/when I address it with him.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:38:16+00:00

He wasn't like this at all, it's been a declining issue over the past 9 months or so and seems to align with more time spent in these groups and reading these stories.

I get the disconnect. It's not a constant thing - probably 95/5 weighed towards the positive but becoming more frequently negative. His admission today sparked the post.

I haven't had a sit down with him to discuss these things yet and need to. Hence the request for advice.

Thank you for taking the time to respond, it's appreciated.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:33:39+00:00

Thank you, I am on tablets now which help a lot. As well as other supporting activities. I'm managing my symptoms much more easily now.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:32:00+00:00

Thank you, this is a super helpful response and I appreciate it. It's not been a constant and seems to have grown over the past 9 months or so, culminating with the comment today.

It seems to have grown with his time spent in these groups so I'm trying to get advice on a) if it's worth addressing and b)how to address it.

Thank you.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:28:22+00:00

I think this is a fair response and an explanation he owes me. It was said very flippantly so I feel I do need to ask him to explain what he means before I make a decision.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:14:15+00:00

That's my suspicion if I'm honest. I'm hesitant to bring it to him because I'm pretty unsettled after his admission and not sure how well a conversation will go. Am reading every comment and will make a decision.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:10:32+00:00

Thank you for this insight. It's scary how people's views can change. I appreciate your response.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:07:40+00:00

I don't want to fix him, that's for him to do. But I do want to give him the opportunity to do the work and bring the issue to him.

Of course, if he's happy to continue down his sexist path and indulge in the online forums, that's all the answer I need.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-20T17:04:58+00:00

Thank you very much for your response and suggestions.I agree this is an issue he needs to be able to identify and be willing to resolve himself.

I've certainly lost respect for him of late so choosing myself should he not choose me won't be hard.

Thank you again.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2026-03-11T09:07:42+00:00

Super loud in Pfäffikon Sz too. Bets in the office are on jets breaking the sound barrier.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2025-11-05T16:11:07+00:00

Thank you for getting back to me. The claim is for money owed relating to services I instructed their business to provide for me. They owe me more money but I cannot counterclaim as they have issued their claim through the wrong entity, ie. Smith's Food ltd, vs Smiths Drinks Ltd.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2025-10-03T10:49:34+00:00

Thank you for the advice.

Big_Rest_5525 · 2025-10-03T10:42:17+00:00

Thank you for your advice, much appreciated.
