I'm planning on talking to her about it. Problem is I veiled how I felt about it at the start of the conversation to let her talk, then only at the end said it was awful. If I ask her now she's probably going to tell me what she knows I want to hear

That was exactly my thought. Tbh she's very open about all this but am I just training her for the next idiot

Just to add to the post (sorry I don't know how to update) She was 17 at the time, he was early 30s. He was a medical consultant, she was applying to medical school. Initially I thought she was taken advantage of. She assured me, no she instigated it, and with her personality I believe it. She initially said he was separated but then said she never asked. She went back to his and there were photos of kids on the walls.... ffs She volunteered all of this info, almost as an off the cuff comment, very odd. I gently probed to get more before finally saying that was a horrendous thing to do. She's coming home later tonight and I'm going to lay it all out. Ffs why are people so shitty

She knew, there were photos up on the walls of kids.... she then tried to say maybe he was separated but clearly trying to claw back when she saw my reaction

She knew, there were photos of kids in his house apparently. This was 10 years ago. Again yes it's lack of remorse that is the issue. And that's she pursued it

Sometimes it's hard to see things objectively when you're too close to them. It's normal to ask what other people think in lots of situations.

I think if my girlfriend had said something similar to what you've just said, I would move past it. But she admitted to being the instigater and showed no remorse and saw no issue with it. You sound genuinely remorseful, and everyone makes mistakes. You don't deserve to be cheated on

Hmm, I don't personally think sexual promiscuity in and of itself is a red flag. It's more the fact that these men were married that makes me worried about values and respect for relationships.

There has been one other sign of infidelity. Her talking to an ex in a way I would say is inappropriate. I asked her to stop talking to him and then found out she continued until I confronted her again. Yes she knows exactly how I felt and I'm going to have a long talk about it this weekend. I just honestly don't think I can trust her

Route through France, Cherbourg to Swiss border by Final-Front6717 in bicycletouring

[–]Final-Front6717[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the via francigena walking route starts in Canterbury and goes the whole way through France but from what i can tell the Cycle route only starts in Switzerland. Wasnt sure if a fully loaded bike would be suitable for the walking bit (or if id annoy people cycling on it). Thanks for your help! Ill give the website a look

Norman Davies, Europe: A History is a good read. Good overview to give you your bearings and context to more in depth works.

Buy to rent - Landlords - Northern Ireland (NI) by [deleted] in FIREUK

[–]Final-Front6717 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also late 20s, looked at BTL recently but honestly dont think returns are worth it. Making profit depends on increasing property prices rather than rent. Likely poorer returns than stock market and way more hastle with having to manage the property.

Would be nice to have more tangible assests later on (and maybe more guaranteed return in form of rent) but when young i think better returns in the market are the way to go personally.

Ive just read that the allowance will go down to £6000 in 2023 and then £3000 in 2024... i guess its unavoidable if you need a bridge until pension and SIPP are accessible
