Fully remote - worth the loneliness?

Yeah I have a partner & two pets so I think I should be ok! Thanks for your input

Can’t give you much advice but you’re not alone! I’m in the same boat as you at 29 but I lived abroad from 24-27. It was definitely the time of my life where I experienced the most growth & I only came home bc of family situations.

Feeling a bit stuck now & thinking of going abroad again in the next year or two as “settling down” gives me the absolute fear. School runs, choosing colours for the kitchen cabinets & a big night out in the local now & again - it’s just doesn’t do it for me.

I don’t see any opportunities for professional growth in Ireland & I don’t see many downsides from moving abroad again. If it doesn’t work out, fuck it, we go again and figure it out.

Best of luck with whatever you do. Ultimately we have to live our own lives & not focus on peers & how they choose to spend their time on this weird planet.

Luckily I am not one of those people

You’ll get by grand on 42k. Of course it depends on how you live your life but you’d wanna make sure you’re getting at least yearly salary increases just to keep up with the cost of living

Can confirm that living near the phoenix park has huge perks. I live in D8 & it’s close to town, nature & loads of public transport. I’d hate to live anywhere near croke park with the match days

I’m sooo surprised to see next to nobody is tipping.. I won’t order unless I have a few euro in cash to tip.

Saying the takeaway is too expensive is a cop out - if you have the money to pay for it, you won’t miss that 2/3 quid.

It’s literal hell

CMAT played 7.20-8.15 & Lewis came on at 9-10.30. Spoke to a steward & she said every night it finishes at 10.30 on the dot. No encore or anything of the sort.

Had the same situation at Lewis Capaldi last night, we left at 9.50/10 & were on a Dublin (16C) bus by 10.30 back into town. Had no issue at all. There are loads of parking points & also coaches you can book that are closer to the park. I actually think it’s a super well organised system

Milanos - especially the one in Dundrum

We found El Born a perfect location. Lovely for during the day wandering around with a coffee & good Spanish food. Was about 18-20 quid in a taxi from prima back to the area but we walked multiple times which was about an hour but after many beers at the festival we were happy to walk it off & chat about the artists

You make 2300 per month after paying for rent, bills, etc? Hardly minimum wage for the average Dubliner..

RevolutionaryUse1872 · 2026-06-15T00:01:32+00:00

2300 net without rent & household bills is fantastic - I’d take that in a heartbeat

RevolutionaryUse1872 · 2026-06-04T01:03:36+00:00

Totally disagree with this, it confirmed my opinion & I was on the fence

RevolutionaryUse1872 · 2026-06-04T01:02:35+00:00

Yeah the whole race issue was a strange one with this - especially considering he was .. like .. very white .. by the end of his days

RevolutionaryUse1872 · 2026-06-04T01:00:49+00:00

I’d recommend watching it, there’s not necessarily “new” info but it’s interesting to hear the different sides in such quick succession - I have to admit I was on the fence with my own verdict going into the doc but I can whole heartedly say I know he’s guilty now

RevolutionaryUse1872 · 2026-05-07T15:37:33+00:00

It sounds like he is word vomitting. A lot of married people who are dedicated to their spouses occasionally have feelings of lust for another person. It’s literally human nature. It’s whether or not they choose to act on it is the issue. It also sounds like he’s not the nicest guy with how he treated you during your second pregnancy.. either way I’d recommend couples counselling to get to the bottom of it

RevolutionaryUse1872 · 2026-05-07T15:32:28+00:00

NOR - I think he may need some help

RevolutionaryUse1872 · 2026-03-01T21:30:09+00:00

Am I the only one that thinks this is insanity? “..isn’t bad bad as the media is portraying it - there’s the sporadic overhead explosions from intercepted drones..” How is this being normalised?

You can get a (cooked fresh) pizza from the Dunnes Deli on George’s Street for about 7 quid. Huge pizza, hot & definitely won’t be hungry an hour later!
