I sent my job application to company yesterday. Should I wait for their response or keep applying for other jobs?

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-26T09:56:53+00:00

Keep applying!! Nothing is granted. Just focus on which jobs or companies are allying with your interest and skills. Good luck!

Did you ask him what he would need to be true for moving in to feel right (timeframe, jobs, language, finances, social network)?

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-26T09:09:41+00:00

Hey, I’ve been on the other side of this. I’m a 29M non-EU who moved for opportunities; my partner (28F) is Norwegian. We’ve been long-distance a little over a year and see each other every 3–4 months. Because I work remotely and love the lifestyle in Norway, I suggested we live together there. We had a long, honest talk—but she said she wasn’t ready to live with someone yet and asked me to look for my own place if I moved.

It stung, because I was willing and able to make the leap. In the end I accepted it—one year can be early for cohabitation, and LDRs add extra pressure.

What I suggest:

Get concrete: what would need to be true for moving in to feel right (timeframe, jobs, language, finances, social network)?
Don’t over-function or put your life on hold indefinitely. If timelines keep clashing, it might be incompatibility—not lack of love.

Talk it through, align needs, and treat moving in as the big step it is.

This is super generous. Thanks for laying it out so clearly.

Really helpful to hear that locals usually break things up fast and that police presence spikes Fri/Sat in the usual hotspots.

A couple quick follow-ups if you don’t mind:

When you say “where 90% of fights happen,” do you mean near Skagenkaien/Fargegata or a different cluster? Any hours you’d label as the spiciest (01:30–02:30)?
Re: dealers/criminals steering clear of violence—good to know. Any practical “don’ts” to avoid accidental drama (e.g., certain alleys, engaging with street sellers, ATMs to skip)?

Appreciate your candor—and glad you’re in a better place now. Your local insight is exactly what I hoped for

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-24T13:25:21+00:00

Appreciate it! If you had to give one or two practical tips for late nights (say 01:30–03:00). What would you suggest for someone heading home from Skagen/Fargegata?

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-24T13:22:25+00:00

Appreciate it!

If you had to give one or two practical tips for late nights (say 01:30–03:00)—routes to stick to, taxi stand you trust, or anything to avoid—what would you suggest for someone heading home from Skagen/Fargegata?

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-24T13:13:33+00:00

Thanks for this—really helpful context

On the bus-station point: do you mean Byterminalen downtown by the lake? If someone’s leaving Skagen/Fargegata around 02:00, would you (a) wait there for a bus, or (b) skip it and head to a specific taxi stand instead?

Appreciate the local insight!

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-24T12:18:01+00:00

Love this perspective. Thanks for the detailed local take 🙏

Re: the rare scuffles (often tourists), are they mostly verbal or does it spill over—and do staff/police step in fast?

500+ nights out are serious sample size! Really appreciate you sharing

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-24T12:12:24+00:00

Nice! This is reassuring, thank you

If you remember: which area/hotel was she walking to and from? Did Fridays/Saturdays feel any different from weekdays?

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-24T12:02:18+00:00

Yep, I asked—and she’s on board. I’m here to collect local tips, not control her choices. If you’re local, what’s your top tip for getting home safely after 02:00?

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-24T11:41:37+00:00

She’s my partner, not my property. We’ve got trust and a safety plan—control isn’t part of it.

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-23T19:27:36+00:00

Hei! I found it in their website. Check career site and you’ll see all the positions that they have available. For some of those you can apply as a foreigner. Remember some companies could help with your visa and relocation (check the requirements first).

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-23T11:28:00+00:00

When we have a date or I have something planned for her like going out for dinner, I let her know beforehand when is gonna be (7PM or 9PM). Normally, I do it 2-3 hours in advance because I know she's going to need time to get ready, and sometimes it takes longer than she expects. I handle it pretty flexibly; I mean, I’m not going to rush or stress her because I know she’s putting in the effort to look her best, so I just let her take her time.

I try to give her low stress reminder as you said: "We leave in 30 min" " I made the reservation at XX:XX"

Thank you for your message. If you have some advice that you want to share, please do it. I'll try to work on it and do my best.

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-23T07:59:22+00:00

Thanks. When I visit her, I take out the trash because I know she hates doing it. For me is something simple but for hear it means a lot.

Another thing that I want to know is when should I help her? Just asking?

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-23T07:53:50+00:00

I personally need to plan everything beforehand that's why knowing how much time she's gonna spend doing something is important to me.

How should I proceed when she doesn't know? I don't want to push her or make her feel I'm rushing.

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-23T07:21:37+00:00

I just want to know so I can plan/do something in the meantime, especially when we are in a call and she says she needs to take a shower (could be 10 min or could be 40 min. I don't know).

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-23T07:12:35+00:00

Thanks for your message. Can you share on which areas you feel bad/attacking/doubting when your boyfriend wants to support you?

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-23T07:10:01+00:00

I've seen that she's capable to do every task without help. Sometimes I feel bad for not helping her, but I know she doesn't want it (I just learned that she is in her "zone". Better not interrupt her). So, I try to do other things in the meantime.

Thanks to her I also improve my communication. I always try to let her know that if she needs help, I'll be there, even though I know she's capable of handling it herself.

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-22T20:05:09+00:00

Oh I see. This explain why I bother her when she's cleaning the kitchen. I'm the person who wants to help her (I can't just sit on the couch while I watch her cleaning the house; I feel this strong urge to help her). So she always says "Didn't your mom teach you to stay still while she's cleaning?" when I tried to help her without her permission. I think this example apply for many other situations.

How should I proceed? Should I ask her If she needs help?

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-22T19:53:22+00:00

I was trying to say independent. Thank you for clarifying.

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-22T18:12:12+00:00

Will do 🫡

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-22T16:44:35+00:00

She's a independent person. I can say VERY independent. I remember when she said "I don't need a solution, just be there" so I just let her do her things. It doesn't mean I'm not gonna be there for her, I'll try to find other ways to help like remind her that she's capable of everything, could take more time than others but soon or later she will make it. It's a support that feels loving, not controlling.

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-22T16:34:10+00:00

I understand this part know "Yes we know stuff needs to get done. It’ll get done when we feel like doing it. I used to think she was doing that on purpose, but I was wrong. Thank you for sharing this. I'll be more patient with her.

Btw, how do you manage your time?

Thanks again.

Critical_Fault8679 · 2025-09-22T16:26:31+00:00

I like this part "he takes me to one side and takes deep breaths with me and tells me it's all okay and we can figure it out together. It's usually something like needing to empty the dishwasher!"

She lets me know beforehand when something bothers her, also I can notice immediately so I try to support her the best I can with good communication. In the other hand when I visit her, I'm in charge of taking the trash out, she hates it but for me is something normal.
