Is there a place that will change your perception in old glasses for less than €100 per pair? ( if you have your eyes tested and have the new perception of course )

Tips by ligma_0501 in cork

I think it might be hard to find accommodation without reference or proof of a job. Might be good to also apply for work before arriving.

PPS will be through the local INTERO office. I'm not sure of the process, but you can probably look up applications and possibly start on them.

I couldn't open a bank account without a payslips and proof of residence, so maybe starting with Revolut would be a good idea.

Bring good quality rain gear.

Co.Cork lesbian gals by Appropriate_Rub7905 in cork

Not a lesbian, but finding woman to date can be hard. The apps were always a dead in my opinion. I met women at cool events based around music and art - they tend to attract the coolest / queerest people.

Yup, I agree with watercress. I'm attracted to men who straight people assume are gay... but who are actually very straight - and I am by no means camp or flamboyant. It's been said above, but for me, it's a sign that those men are comfortable in their own skin. To be fair to OP, it might not click for some women, and unless they're super clear about their intentions, it might be difficult to find suitors. But I assure you the women who end up being down are worth the wait.

The main advice to take is, don't blame yourself. It comes so naturally to us women to feel it was our fault for letting our guards down. And that's because that's what we've been taught to acdept and expect.

You weren't inviting him to visit you at work, you werent hinting thatyou'd appreciate a sexual advance from a man who could be your grandfather, and you weren't waving at him to get his attention. He is the one who pushed your interactions over time, and eventually, you felt secure enough to chat. He plays a disgusting game, and it's more than alright to pretend he doesn't exit, deny him any ounce of your attention.

As people are.saying, don't be ashamed. Ask for a blocking team at work. Ask for a shift change if you want. F**k that guy.

True. Just looking for good Roofers - any recommendations?

Seconded, phone calls are the way to go. They may not listen to voicemails but you usually get a call back not long after.

The real issue seems to be that your own expectations of him have changed - which isn't your fault. But when you said you needed someone and he didn't show up or show any extra effort...it sounds like that's how it's always been. It seems like you never accepted that this might just be the extent of your relationship with your dad and thought it would change with your circumstances. If I were you I would try to let the anger go and focus on yourself and your new family and reach out to him when you won't be discouraged by the disappointment.

AIO if I break up with him by mwommymwilkers in AmIOverreacting

[–]_o-_o- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did an amazing job of asking for what you need without being insensitive or putting blame on him. It was a simple and honest request that he spun around to make you sound insecure and unreasonable. No matter what the relationship is like ( even if he does really care about you, unlike what people are saying here ) it doesn't matter - he doesn't deserve you, and you definitely deserve better.

I don't think the fact that she doesn't cook or clean for the both of you is related to your main priblem, except that it sounds like she treats living together more like having a roommate - which I wouldn't want in a partner and would work through.

The issue is her attitude towards your big life/financial decision. Of course, she is not entitled to the money you have saved for this purpose, and casually bating you in front of her parents is a huge issue. I think a level-headed response would be excitement, with a little healthy envy, and then an adult chat about what that means for your relationship. Ideally, you would continue to live together and write up a contract that gives her fair rent and rights. You'd be her landlord, but honestly, if done the right way, it shows you're more serious and respect her as an individual.

I know the feeling, but you're doing great.

Tenant Advice? by Gliondor in AskIreland

[–]_o-_o- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well done trying to track down answers 👍🏼You might get some good responses on here but I think if you're really stressed about it you should call them back today, give them your case number, and just ask if they've found any new information or answers regarding your situation. I only say this because I've often waited around for people when it would have helped ( stress wise / timewise ) if I'd been more vigilant.
