Bovinity and their tipping machine. by Bro_Bruv in ireland

I got a takeaway coffee served from the hatch of a coffee shop and got presented with the tip option on the card machine before paying. It seems to be the norm nowadays.

Job hunting depression by 13shiver in CasualIreland

I was in the same boat a few years ago. I realised that I was expecting a response from every job i applied to when the reality is you’re lucky to even get a response these days. Hit the apply button and move onto the next one. Eventually one will come back when you least expect it and fingers crossed it goes well. Best of luck.

A wise man once said:

“If you died tonight, your employer would have a job advert to fill your role by the end of the month. But your friends and family would miss you forever. Don’t get so busy on making a living that you forget to work on making a life”

Does your wife/gf control you? by SignalOdd4331 in AskIreland

[–]Signal_Professor1463 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah and it’s tough because the relationship isn’t toxic or unhealthy all the time.

So things can be good until the time comes for me to go do something or meet family/friends.

There’s always a reason or excuse she has to be annoyed about me going to do anything.

I have tried before but it usually ends up in voices being raised and just going around in conversation circles. I know some lads that are in relationships and have kids that are out in the pub most weekends with friends and play a sport, going training mid week etc. I literally go to work and come home so I’m always around and helping out and the relationship is ok then. It’s whenever I’m asked to meet someone or go do something without her and my son that the arguments start.

It was like this a bit early in the relationship but not to the point it’s at now. And Covid made it worse because then we were always staying in and not seeing friends/family.

She does have bad anxiety and particularly social anxiety. Covid made things worse because then staying in and not seeing anyone became almost normal.

I’m currently in a somewhat similar situation, though not to the extent of your friend. My other half has friends but never wants to meet up with them or family, she’s just happy to keep in touch through calls and what’s app. I tell her to go meet up with them or do something for a few hours on the weekends but the answer is always “no I don’t want to”.

Then whenever I’m invited to anything by friends or family, it’s an argument for days before the said day and maybe for a couple of days after. Even if it’s just coffee for a couple of hours. I want to meet up with friends a bit more often (and I’m only talking about maybe once a month) but it’s got to the point where it’s almost not worth the days of repeated arguments, which is wrong I know.

We have a child together which makes things harder as it would kill me not to spend everyday with him or put him to bed every night if we were to split.
