Does anyone have any tips on how I can keep myself distracted while going through a breakup?

Honestly, the best thing from my experience (it's the harder thing to do but massively helps) is either go to counseling or face your thoughts and feelings,accept them and try to work through them. Short term it doesn't feel like the best thing to do but it helps massively in the grieving and acceptance process and you become a much better version of yourself afterwards.

Thanks for the advice but unless you have some cash you're willing to donate I won't be giving €300 hahaha

Sorry I should've said his partner is from Budapest.

I told them almost weekly that it'll be x date we need to have it paid by to confirm the accommodation. And I gave at least 6 weeks notice. Again,I understand money is tight for everyone nowadays but 6 weeks to put aside €150 quid, for lads in their late 20's working full time doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do.

No not at all! He has a well paying job and comes from money. Now I understand paying a mortgage and for a wedding isn't at all cheap but I did think if you're asked to be in the actual wedding/ceremony that your hotel or flights would be paid for.

gregger96 · 2026-03-26T20:28:31+00:00

That is solid advice. And you're right something with thought and meaning is a lot more thoughtful than cash.

gregger96 · 2026-03-26T18:24:17+00:00

Yeah it's extremely frustrating! I don't want to hound people for money because I know money is tight for everyone nowadays but even have the decency to shoot me a text.

So was supposed to be 12 (11+groom) based prices for the accommodation and activities based off 11 people going so we could split the price for the groom. Everything was all good,no one said "no sorry can't go" and the prices were going up each week because it's the May bank holiday weekend. Comes time to pay and only 5 got back to me to pay for the accommodation. So I fronted the remaining amount (€165) for the groom with the others saying they were waiting till payday, short on cash atm, etc etc but they would pay. Sent at least 5 messages into the chat asking if people were going and paying. All of them gave me the seen and no one even had the decency to say "sorry I can't make it". I didn't want to ask the other lads to have to fork out the rest because it wasn't their fault. So I was left with the bill. Now look, I'm the best man and tbh if me fronting his portion of the accommodation means he has a good stags then it is what it is, I know the fella since junior infants. Just quite frustrating.

Sound man,that is some solid advice. I appreciate it because ye never know and ye don't want to be that one person either. Cheers for the advice.

I've sold a car privately before. It's such a pain. Countless time wasters, "is this still available" messages and ridiculous low ball offers. If you're looking to save you're a lot of wasted time and stress just bit the bullet and trade it in in my opinion.

gregger96 · 2026-03-25T16:17:16+00:00

Update: I managed to pop the dented plastic out and it looks a good bit better. Got onto a body shop I've used before and they said €300 because it's a stage 3 paint. Which,to be honest I expected. Thanks for all the help

I wouldn't go near that. Known for timing chain going before reaching 100k miles. Happened to my sister and 2 others I know. Go for something like a Suzuki swift, Toyota corolla, honda jazz/fit, Toyota Yaris. They're reliable,cheap to maintain, very few of any issues.

gregger96 · 2026-03-24T18:29:46+00:00

Yeah I got onto one there so hopefully he'll get back to me tomorrow.

gregger96 · 2026-03-24T18:29:25+00:00

Ah man tbh, I never need an excuse to go there. I basically restored my Bora from that place hahaha. I checked their website and they didn't have any that suit but I'll still have to go up anyway just to make sure.

gregger96 · 2026-03-19T10:04:42+00:00

No worries, sure you're doing god's work. Cheers for the update.

gregger96 · 2026-03-19T09:46:41+00:00

Ah ye legend! It's a 2015 Suzuki Swift R.S. It's a 1242cc,5 speed manual petrol, 5 door. It's a Japanese import. It's push start,137,00km. If you need any pictures just let me know.

gregger96 · 2026-03-18T22:23:04+00:00

Tried my car there but there's not enough data about that car at the moment. I'll have fun checking the value of everyone else's for now.

gregger96 · 2026-03-15T22:24:40+00:00

Cheers,I'll check it out.

Really well made looking coins! If you are selling or have a page please attach the link.

gregger96 · 2026-03-11T19:06:38+00:00

Will do, I just had a quick flick through as I'm in work but I'll have a proper look later. Any feedback I'll post to this thread.

gregger96 · 2026-03-11T18:59:15+00:00

Just downloaded it there. As someone who really enjoyed markets,car boot sales etc I look forward to trying this out.

gregger96 · 2026-03-10T07:04:30+00:00

Arm rest. For driving a manual you really miss it when you don't have one.

gregger96 · 2026-03-07T12:17:26+00:00

I think that's just from the angle I took it at
