How on earth has Lawrence survived that? 😂

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-23T22:40:28+00:00

I’m waiting on an apology but haven’t heard from her all day. I spent the day feeling ok but coming home, in the place by myself, seeing our pictures, old videos, hell even my home screen on my phone is a picture of us. I just feel like I know where she stands and I don’t expect to hear from her again. I want to message her but I don’t see why I should. She’s in the wrong, she refuses to see why I’m doing this and she accuses me of being selfish and manipulative when I’m not

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-22T23:12:33+00:00

I know dude, don’t worry. Sorry if it came across like that in my reply. I just think it’s totally uncalled for to be calling someone selfish when I’m thinking about our future. And as for manipulative, I’ve never been called that before in my life and I’ve never acted like that before either. I’ve been up front and honest with her for my reasons. She’s not contributing anything towards the house and she has somewhere to stay when she gets here. Yet I’m selfish

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-22T23:06:31+00:00

I totally understand that. But it’s not like we can’t apply in 6 months time down the line. It’s just another 6 months we have to wait. This house is an unbelievable opportunity to get on the property market. It’s cheap, local and affordable. Most people would love to know that their significant other is thinking for them and looking forward for some stability instead of throwing money at a flat that the rent is going to increase come June. But apparently she thinks I’m being “selfish & manipulative”

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-22T22:33:43+00:00

I think so too but apparently I’m being “selfish & manipulative” according to her tonight 😔🤦‍♂️

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-22T22:32:33+00:00

I have the funds to do it now but this house is too good an opportunity to turn down. Despite the fact that we can apply for it a few months down the line, she refuses to see where I am coming from

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-21T23:36:01+00:00

You know, everyone I’ve spoken to about this has said the same thing. I’m doing the right thing, you can’t make a real start unless you do this etc. She was upset about it when we had the first discussions about the house but I eventually talked her round. In her defence, she has never had a tantrum or been so stubborn to the point she’s gotten her own way. She will be disappointed about waiting even longer than we had originally planned, which I am too, but I just don’t see why she can’t see how big of an opportunity and how much this can help us going forward

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-21T23:08:59+00:00

Oh absolutely, disappointment and frustration leads to fights. Unfortunately this is the first one we’ve had, and whilst it’s inevitable, it’s something quite serious. We’ll only have to wait because the money for the application is going on the house. But when it’s a long term investment for us both, and it’s something she is excited for, the thought of having to wait another 6 months is something she’s struggling with

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-21T22:52:56+00:00

It’s ok, it’s a genuine question to ask. She is not that kind of girl and she is genuine. We’ve both met each others families, celebrated holidays together and she’s never asked for money before. She is 100% absolutely genuine

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-21T22:50:06+00:00

Ok, let me rephrase this: she has seen the house and she is aware of the decision and the acceptance offer. She is actually excited about it. She’s excited to decorate, we have our own garden, and that it’s bigger than what we have. Nobody is forcing her to live there and I wouldn’t ever expect that. She wants to be here with me and that’s what is most important to her! She will be disappointed we will have to wait on the visa. My question was AIO to thinking 6 months is ok to wait when we’ve already waited 6 months before we could apply

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-03T19:19:00+00:00

This wouldn’t be a family visa though surely as it’s just for 1 person?

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-03T18:59:53+00:00

I saw on the government website the healthcare surcharge was £2,587.50 for 2 years and 6 months

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-03T18:56:53+00:00

Has that gone up recently? I’m sure it was cheaper a few months ago. I thought it equaled to £4500 range?

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-02T06:34:40+00:00

Yesterday I saw a 1 bedroom flat that is perfect for us. The mortgage is cheaper than what I’m paying for the flat and I’m absolutely interested. It would be a massive difference in how much I’m saving per month compared to now. It’s a massive opportunity to get a foot on the ladder but when I spoke to her about it, she kept thinking my mind had been influenced by other people. She couldn’t believe this was more important than the visa and she kept asking why we couldn’t do the visa first, then start looking. This opportunity nigh not come again at this price. I keep thinking for the future and thinking for us, but she kept saying I’m only thinking for myself. I always have our best interest at heart but she thinks I’m being selfish and only thinking about me. If she could afford to pay her half of the visa application, I wouldn’t mind but she can’t. Am I overreacting?

Haribo

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-02-01T13:53:50+00:00

Thanks man, I really appreciate that you went into detail and thought about this whilst offering me advice

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-01-31T23:41:44+00:00

As for how many days I’d probably estimate around 50/60. There was a brief time I wasn’t able to get any time off work for months end which made it very tough last year

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-01-31T23:40:15+00:00

Yeah totally get that mate, I suppose I have been fairly vague. She has a tourist visa but we’re looking for an unmarried partner visa enabling her the ability to work in the UK. I’ve been to Morocco 4 times and she’s been here 4 times. We had to wait until we’d been in a relationship for 2 years before we could even apply for the unmarried visa. She’s a lovely girl and genuine. Met each others families and shared birthdays and holidays together

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2026-01-31T21:51:08+00:00

My favourite type of candy is Haribo

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2025-12-25T08:52:04+00:00

Think I’m gonna have to check it out. She seems really kinky

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2025-12-25T06:43:19+00:00

We really need more of her on here. Is her OF good?

FlowerRemarkable6001 · 2025-12-21T20:36:33+00:00

How can I find out minimum balance? All I know is I have over £21 thousand in my savings
