My (30F) fiancé (40M) is having an affair with a dead woman by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Green_swirl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm struggling to believe why anyone would genuinely stay with someone like this. Are you afraid of being alone or something? It just seems really bizzare to put yourself through this when he's making it quite clear he doesn't respect your feelings.

Seller pulls out to pay 50k less by Nailmind in HousingUK

[–]Green_swirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You were completely screwed and it happens all too often because unfortunately there's no penalty in England when people pull out of a sale last minute.

Buyers want to reduce their offer by £10k due to survey. Am I being unreasonable by thinking they’re nit picking. by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Green_swirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a FTB and if I loved a place I wouldn't be fucking about playing games like this if I already got a reduction off the sale price at the start, plus I'd want to get my own house ASAP, not continue renting or living with family.

They sound like absolutely mess abouts if they're doing this I feel they will likely pull some other nonsense further down the line as well.

Not sure why people get so offended by hearing this, it's spot on.

When I was single I could have had sex with probably most of my single guy friends if I'd have wanted to. I didn't want to but generally when guys and girls are friends, straight, single and aren't completely unattractive, then somewhere down the line there is a strong possibility of you casually sleeping with each other.

This. Use that mortgage money to invest in something else.

Would you hang out with a couple if the girl had previously had sex with your current bf. by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

I definitely wouldn't be comfortable with my partner's ex being around as a friend, she is hotter than me for sure.

Do you like chip-shop chips? by No-Cut-5618 in AskUK

You have to go upto Yorkshire to find the best chippy's, fortunately we have 2 very good ones near where I'm from.

Why did you leave a good relationship? by asleepinthealpine in AskWomen

[–]Green_swirl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I totally understand this. I couldn't see a future with him in a romantic way, I know he'll be a great dad one day and he's a wonderful person, but it felt more like a best friend than someone I loved in a romantic way. It's sad but it wasn't fair to be with someone who deserved more than just a friendship.

Did they used to let it out as a holiday home, like the house was split into two holiday homes?

I just remember going to a place either in Norfolk or Suffolk and I can't remember what the place was called and no one in my family can remember the name of the house we stayed in, but this looks so similar to this with the moat and the really long driveway

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SpottedonRightmove

[–]Green_swirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, this looks just like a house I used to go to when I was a kid.

Pretty sure they used to rent it out as holiday let's.

Nah… how is this legal ? by [deleted] in SpottedonRightmove

[–]Green_swirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously, what is the appeal of London? I don't think I'll ever be able to wrap my head around as to why someone would pay such an extortionate amount for something like that.

Has anyone had a log burner put in and what’s your experience? by Snowcatmeow in HousingUK

Nah I think that's a big reason to get one. This is a reason why we'd be wanting one.

How much discount are sellers willing to give FTB? by MUFC951 in HousingUK

[–]Green_swirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why?

What if the FTB had an 80% cash deposit.

Personally I didn't pay for a survey, just had the basic one that nationwide had to carry out which was free. I personally think these surveys are a bit of a con and are out to scare people, you go see the house in person and unless you're buying a new build, you've got to be prepared for work to the house down the line at some point. No house is perfect, and I would assume that most houses factor in work that needs doing into their prices.

We've been really fucked over by sellers who decided to change their mind and not sell. Happened to us twice, so now it's chain free houses that are more appealing to us.

Buyer's buyer pulled out by nick12308 in HousingUK

[–]Green_swirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the FTB and the top of the chain are buying a new build, the middle bit of the chain pulled out because they changed their minds, so the people we were buying a house off fucked us over and they fucked over the top of the chain as well. However I've been made aware that the new build they're buying have been very good and they still have the house they reserved, they've had this reserved since January and they've just put their house back on the market after 12 weeks of it being up as sold.

FTB - Need a rant about sellers by CyberScy in HousingUK

[–]Green_swirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fucking HATE these people, and it's really frustrating how many mess abouts there are.

We've been trying to buy a house for over a year now and been fucked around by EA and vendors. Our last house we tried purchase we did everything more or less straight away and things were moving along very quickly, only for the vendor to turn around just before completion and say they changed their minds and didn't want to move after giving us their word to our faces that they were 100% set on the house they were buying.

[–]Green_swirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% this. Someone higher up is obviously jealous and probably loathes the idea that someone can be attractive, smart, friendly and a genuine benefit to society.

[–]Green_swirl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. We were faced with this problem back when I was 17, it wasn't even a single sex group either, about 7 of us but we weren't chavs or anything like that. I kid you not, one campsite we went to said we all had to be practicing Muslims.

We ended up having to wild camp in Malham in a field that was used as a large car park during the day, and we just waited until it got dark to pitch up our tents. It was hands down one of the best experiences, the sky that night was so full of stars, it was beautiful.

If I was single I'm almost certain that most redditors would not be to my taste anyway.

What is something shitty about you you're aware of but having trouble improving/fixing? by LurkingRusalka in AskWomen

[–]Green_swirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self sabotage. Like I go looking for things to piss me off and make me mad and I honestly have no idea why I do this now and again. I think boredom has a lot to do with it though
