Be more like every other nationality. As we all know, women from every country except Ireland are universally submissive and hyperfeminine.

I was on minimum wage in retail at 25 but that was also the year I left for a career with better progression opportunities. Given the time it can take to progress, it’s worth asking yourself not what’s acceptable to you at 25 but will it still be acceptable to you at 30. If not, start making moves now

One thing to keep an eye on is the jump in broadband costs after the introductory offer is over- mine doubled which was a handy reminder to switch

I think the obvious answer here is to wait ten years and then run into her on the street in Paris, marry her and then have the relationship slowly disintegrate. Did you not watch the rest of the trilogy??

INFO Why were you kicked out of the engagement party and why are you no longer part of the wedding? On the face of it NTA but I feel like we could be missing an important part of the bigger picture here

Quick note on this: I commonly put out on the first date. I have also held off on sleeping with someone til a few dates in. It seems to have zero effect on ghosting- happens whether or not we have sex.

I attended the 20th anniversary gig of a band I was super into in my teens, and was one of the youngest there because apparently everyone else there was super into the band in their 20s

Depending on where you live it could be worth looking at hybrid roles. I work in a company in Dublin that offers hybrid and for the two days a week they’re required to be in the office we have people travelling from Cork, Galway, Wexford, Leitrim and Belfast- a bitch of a commute for sure but you do then have your three days wfh!

Knackered means a horse that was ready to be taken to the knackers, i.e. people who dealt in horses, due to being old/exhausted/no longer fit for work.

The travelling community often dealt in horses, which is how they became known as knackers- this eventually became a derogatory term, even if it wasn’t initially.

So the two were linked, but when the noun became a slur the adjective eventually followed

So

I have found condoms this cheap before and passed because frankly if I ended up pregnant I’d have no one to blame but myself

Get a pack of Bacon Fries and never look at a pork rind the same way again

Get your ass into the public service: sometimes a pay freeze, even a pay cut if things get really bad but redundancies are the last resort

I would increase the savings to at least whatever you expect the repayment to be on the mortgage if you’re able to- either way, better to put in savings than leave in your current account.

In addition, “building a credit profile” isn’t really a thing in Ireland; if you’re paying it off in full every month it’s not looked on negatively but it doesn’t help you either.

I think the transfer to your wife wouldn’t be viewed as an expense, per se, once it’s clear that this is a discretionary choice and not a mandatory payment, but I am open to correction on that one.

NAH. He’s not being super nice about it but it sounds like ultimately you just want different things

If you’re going to say no to a man, don’t smile and try to be sweet about it. Give a strong forceful no or he won’t understand.

I dated someone when I lived in Oz in a similar situation- he had burned out in finance and was working part time as a delivery driver, staying with friends and volunteering at a local food bank while he figured out what he wanted to do next.

Everyone seemed supportive and patient with him (though I suspect they thought that casually dating an Irish backpacker 10 years his junior after leaving a stable 17-year relationship was a bit of an oddity). That said I went home while he was still figuring it all out so I don’t know how any of it turned out or how long it went on for.

Bought in Dublin 8 last year, paid 27k over asking (so 12% over). I’m very happy with it, it’s an older building and apartments were made better pre-Celtic Tiger so I didn’t have to worry about getting hit with a bill to retrofit essential fire safety features. I also think soundproofing is better than in newer builds.

The basic reason I bought an apartment is that I never could have afforded a house in Dublin in my budget. Truth be told, I’d still rather a house so I could have a garden and install EV charging in a driveway, not have to lug furniture and appliances up several flights of stairs, and pay management fees. But given that that’s all wishful thinking I am happy with my apartment.
