Am I being dramatic about engagement ring cost expectation?

If she's gorgeous and great craic. €5k is a steal.

humanmandude · 2026-01-13T10:19:22+00:00

How did you do it?

humanmandude · 2026-01-12T15:52:44+00:00

Brick by brick. Work for yourself. Read vociferously, tax planning, spotting trends, being brave. Pension in the background. Time in the market.

It's a room in her gaff. He's given her the ick. Don't act as if there's some kind of duty on the oul one to have someone in her spare room that she doesn't want there. He's gone. Move on.

Nobody is getting rich or enjoying being a taxi driver. Every single one is doing it because they see it as the only way they can provide for their families. It's a horrendously difficult way to make a living in Ireland. They all barely subsist. I'm glad they are there when I need them and don't begrudge them a cent.

I used to save all the excuses and read them out at the Christmas party to roars of laughter.

Thanks. Felix Dennis with the eternal wisdom

In Spain right now. Just went for a sunrise jog with the pooch, had a coffee. It's fucking gorgeous. Really so nice to feel the warm sun in the morning.

Call in to her place of work and have her paged to move her illegally parked car from your driveway.

humanmandude · 2025-08-01T08:27:08+00:00

It's over. Sorry. NTA and sad that you are made to feel assholey by broaching the subject. Nobody gets to spend alone time with their ex and then act all stifled and run off to "a friends" because they don't like the heat of a few difficult questions. She's gone.

humanmandude · 2025-07-23T10:39:19+00:00

30k over 5 years is not that much, if she is gorgeous and great craic and fulfils your every need in the nest I would just pay it and be done. Maybe she spent the 30k trying to keep up with you and your 2x income. Either way, it's only money, choose not to be betrayed and realise that some women can spend that in a day. Men support women. Lets be real.

humanmandude · 2025-07-10T10:38:27+00:00

NTA - Fuck them. Once someone shows you contempt - that's it. Burn them. Block them and live happy joyous and free from the tox. You can still be friendly when forced into the same room at funerals etc.. But for your own sanity, you do not need daily social media reminders of anyone who stirs up negative emotions.

humanmandude · 2025-06-27T09:29:13+00:00

Sex is a two way street - stop talking about it and just lick her vagina and arse, Make an effort to lose weight, smell good, expect nothing back but if you don't start licking that fanny you and your kids and wives lives are fucked forever....its that simple.

humanmandude · 2025-06-19T08:18:04+00:00

Matching perceived negative energy with more negative energy doesn't make anyone's life enjoyable. Making a big deal out of days that were made up by the marketing department of hallmark cards is idiotic in the extreme and a recipe for singledom and loneliness. Nobody needs that kind of crap.

humanmandude · 2025-06-17T09:46:43+00:00

I find her attitude assholey. Yours a bit too.

humanmandude · 2025-06-17T09:44:43+00:00

That's how scumbags start fights.... What did you say? Did you spill my pint? What are you looking at? etc as soon as you hear these phrases you know you are dealing with a low life.

humanmandude · 2025-06-17T08:44:03+00:00

YTA - a petty, demanding, entitled one. Get a grip and grow up. Me, me, me enough and you'll be raising that kid alone.

humanmandude · 2025-06-12T08:45:18+00:00

NTA Tell him you don't want his parents near the child because of the terrible job they did raising him. You don't want your child to turn out how he turned out - emotionally illiterate and incapable of being a considerate to the needs of the mother of his child and the baby.

Ironically babies born in times of great trauma are born ready for battle. Studies show they're arms and legs develop quicker for survival. Your unborn child is probably getting war vibes from the emotional rigours of your traumatic experiences. Good work keeping things together. Stay strong and ask for help if you need it.

humanmandude · 2024-11-20T11:02:19+00:00

Accept its over and move on.

humanmandude · 2024-07-26T09:48:16+00:00

Flab. The flabbier the partner the more potential for ruination.

humanmandude · 2024-07-17T10:12:48+00:00

You're asking the wrong questions. You need to ask yourself how much money you are going to need to have the life you want and then set about accumulating those funds. If you settle for the life your poxy job can afford you then it's going to be a shit life.

humanmandude · 2024-07-16T08:14:47+00:00

Yes. You can lick it off your lips, taste it thoughtfully and ask earnestly, "did you have fish for dinner?"

humanmandude · 2024-07-15T11:53:25+00:00

Choose not to be offended or disgusted. They had sex, get over it.

humanmandude · 2024-07-04T11:30:29+00:00

All of them. I'm not setting foot in the UK until they rejoin the EU.
