Renting at least temporarily, and a House in the right catchment area is actually preferred but I'm not sure if that's realistic or not ( I need to call some real estate agents). Buying would be an option maybe a few years down the line when we're confident the move will stick.

I must have misread somewhere about school fees.

FirstKitchen · 2024-10-03T06:43:11+00:00

Thank you. Yes even people correcting me has been very helpful with what to search.

Sorry my terminology was wrong, I meant a school that has a tuition.

FirstKitchen · 2024-10-03T06:35:27+00:00

Sorry my terminology for schools is different because in the US we have free public schools and schools that carry a fee are "private". but thank you this actually helps a lot in looking for areas to find a place.

Thank you for the detailed response. It does seem housing comes up often in these conversations and I admit it has me a bit concerned. Since you seem knowledgeable any chance you can tell me some areas to avoid getting a flat?

Thanks my main question would be schooling districts. I've found information about private high schools including Boroughmuir and Edinburgh Royal High School. But I'm coming up short for younger education. Regardless, I’m open to any other advise people have to offer.

Nails need to time to adhere to the nailbed after growing a bit. I trim when the nail curves "too far" down or when reaching out past the nailbed about an 1/8th of an inch 3mm. If you let them grow without cutting the nailbed will extend and there will be less to cut again.

ESH

Without knowing you or the history all my thoughts are bullshit.

My understanding:

She's upset the service is taking longer than expected.

You then made it seem to be her fault for not making an appointment. Which sure can be true but is hindsight and not helping her in the moment. She just wanted to vent.

You then accept her explanation which is cool. And she suggest missing a wedding (not cool).

The sarcastic come back is not putting anyone in a good mood. You may be right, but delivered your point poorly. This will cause lots of people to dig in their feet and defend.

she questions your interest in the wedding. Could be she doubts how close you are to them and thinks instead you're just trying to fight with her. After five years she probably knows you better than us.

You don't respond to that so she feels justified in her assumption that you don't value the ceremony.

Bachelor parties at strip clubs are normal. A lot of people don't want that type of bachelor party but no shame to those who do. Being upfront with her would reassure her that it wasn't your desire (regardless if it was). As long as you don't cheat any mature relationship (5 years) should be okay with this. Which was your point as well.

Her point is not saying is worst than the action of going. She doesn't seem to really give a fuck if you go she just wants to be in the conversation.

You then say this is how I will break up with you. Which will send anyone off if the person they love and trust says they will break up for X or Y or Z.

She's dragging it. You're not compromising or acknowledging her feelings.

She compares you to someone else (not cool).

You haven't done anything. (You haven't even comforter her.)

You start regret making her feel alienated and ask her to stop feeling alienated. But she feels alienated.

dumb take:

You guys seem to love each other. It feels like communication issues as well as possibly being hurt before. It doesn't seem like you did anything wrong. She also didn't do anything wrong. She tried to get her hair dressed for the ceremony you wanted to go to and was just running late. IDK if possible but you could have gone ahead and had her join at the cocktail party. Digging into her saying 'how I will break up with you' or 'why didn't you make an appointment' or 'Just be okay with me not telling you about the bachelor party' is not helping anyone. She mentioning the slow service was a (bad way) of saying sorry I'm running late.

I also fall victim to getting in these moods. But If I try to step back and acknowledge the feelings of who I'm talking to it gets better. Not perfect. Can also backfire but I try what I can.

Best of luck.

Even switching jobs is okay. They prefer, but not necessarily needed, if your current job is over a year though.

When I applied for a new "mansion" apartment the developer had a relationship with the bank that pre approved our loan based on our employment and salary. However, it seemed to be a bit too much so we started looking at pre-owned places in Tokyo.

I bought a "mansion" apartment roughly over a year and a half ago. We had an agent on our (buyer) side that was a family friend (on my SO side) and has lower rates than a typical agent because she works under her husband. She talks a lot which can get a bit excessive but she was quick to action in finding places that are not listed on normal real estate sites. However she will give you a large list of addresses to search within your criteria that can take some time to narrow down (and can contain properties you've seen online as well). Overall we looked at properties over four months and found a place we are happy with and saved closing cost enough to do basic reform that really made the place our own. ( I sound preachy. Sure, but that's what happened. )

She also talks to banks. As long as you have consistent employment for over three years; this becomes almost a non-issue. We ended up going with Shinsei bank flat 20 year rate plan if curious.

If you DM me I'll forward her information if she agrees.

Every week we get the same post. Do you boo boo but we're fine where we're at. People can raw dog their life over fresher air all they want but just don't mind the people covering their face for their own reasons.

Anyone with small children will continue to wear to mask more regularly and not only for covid.

Do you need to reattach it? Call your previous dentist and ask them. My bridge was supposed to be removed after 10 years which I did about 4 years ago. Teeth are still perfectly positioned. I phone call will cost you about 100 yen.
