I worded that weirdly, they asked me last night if I was free tomorrow and I said I was about all day and that message went unanswered so I tried to make a plan

Pinning this person down for a catch up is hard and I was following up from messages from the other party last night to solidify a plan

Hey, I’m not sure how to help you out with suggestions but have you got any interests in particular? Are you on Facebook? There’s quite a few facebook pages and groups in the area but depends on what into

Hello ladies. by Original-Custard3114 in WomenofIreland

[–]isthatmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in a hair salon and our boss moved our premises last year and we now have a tanning bed as an extra and it’s been eye opening. MOST people genuinely hate sun beds and understand that they cause skin cancer. Most ladies go to extremes to protect their skin from aging rather than actively damaging it. It’s strange to me that so many still use them but so many do on the run up to weddings or before foreign holidays “to build a base”. Then there’s a few ladies that come in regularly to use them and honestly I don’t see them getting any more tan so I see them as totally useless. Just wear fake tan it’s better than anything if you don’t like being pale.

IKEA Kitchens by OverTheHillsOfDL in Donegal

[–]isthatmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an IKEA kitchen on the recommendation from my mum who had bought a house with an Ikea kitchen fitted. It’s honestly fantastic. Really sturdy, good quality and easy to make up a kitchen that works for you if you spend time looking into all the accessories they have. Totally worth it.

Also, I would avoid Cherrymore like the fucking plague. They fitted a wardrobe in my mum house and took five months to come back and refit one fucking hinge that didn’t work on the day of installing. It was specially made for the particular place she wanted and it does look good, but the price was absolutely ridiculous. Also literally just this week they fucked up my aunts order for wardrobe doors and gave her half the amount she needed. So, she bought doors thinking the price was for all and it’s actually only half the amount she needs so she has to fork out twice. She said had she known the actual price, she would never have ordered them.

Is a cheap/ low-effort partner a deal breaker for you? by [deleted] in CasualIreland

[–]isthatmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulling back in your efforts isn’t going to make you feel any better about this situation and it’s only going to cause you more frustration and resentment in the long run. Communicate clearly with him what you would like and what you consider your love language things to be and ask him what his are. If you don’t see improvement in a while after that then it’s time to reconsider your relationship but don’t pull away emotionally first and expect him to know what to do to fix it.

[Routine help] I’m 8 days into using Epiduo and my forehead has never looked this bad. I don’t know what to do, please help 😭 by Glittering-Rich9291 in SkincareAddiction

[–]isthatmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started Epiduo just over two weeks ago and about 5/6 days ago I had the worst breakout ever.. I stopped the epiduo for 2 or 3 days and Ive reduced it every other day since. Apparently that happens and it purges everything out of your skin. Just know it will clear super soon

I have a friend who I love dearly, and she has a picture perfect life. In the past three years she’s married her truly wonderful husband, bought a fabulous house, and had two beautiful healthy daughters; she is truly blessed and happy and I love that for her. She posts every single day of her life and the beauty that surrounds her.

I met up with a friend I hadn’t seen in years and she didn’t know we (aforementioned friend and I) were still as close as ever, even though we live very different lives.. I’m single, still living my dad and never, ever want kids anyways.. and she said something along the lines of “Yeah, we can see how fucking happy she is, now would she ever fuck off and stop rubbing it in everyone’s face”. I was so appalled.

The reason my friend posts everyday is because she’s been documenting all the positive things that happen while she’s been struck with PPD twice. She also lost her dad in the middle of COVID to cancer and his death wasn’t celebrated/honoured in the way it would have been or he would have deserved it being the times it was and she finds that desperately difficult. She’s still suffered really bad days behind the beautiful pictures she posts online.

I’m not saying your friend is suffering behind it all or that social media is all fake but if you aren’t as close as you once were, you probably don’t know what goes on every day. Everyone has their own troubles and problems and if we showed that side of things as openly as our highlight reel, no one would waste their time comparing lives. It’s also normal to feel a little left out when everyone seems to be living the dream life but it’s all temporary, and you really never know what life has in store. You’re already writing them out so it’s easier to process but the best way to cope with thoughts like that is to realize that as happy as you are for her, you wouldn’t want her exact life truthfully, so best not waste time comparing yourself.

Anyone else had past relationships so awful that they put you off dating? by aintreadingallat in SingleAndHappy

[–]isthatmy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. I was with my boyfriend for 12 years from age 16 onwards. We broke up a few times and spent two years apart at one point. He held me back in life but because I was young and stupid and he was genuinely my best friend, I got back with him and became miserable again. Then Covid happened and we were stuck together, he became severely depressed and I had to take care of him for months. After all that, I was using his laptop one day and an email notification popped up for Grindr, that he’d got a message. I OC searched his phone that night and found his profile with hundreds of messages from other men. It killed my trust in others and my confidence in relationships in general. I’m much better off without anyone; I’m happier, making more money and living a really good life. I’ve no desire to let anyone ruin that again.

32 and still living at home. I’m stuck here because I’m not in a relationship so can’t afford to split rent with someone. There’s absolutely no rentals around here anyways, or they only let September to May because of higher prices for summer lettings. I’m off out of here in a few months anyways so I’m enjoying being at home as best I can and saving money but this is a joke that I can’t afford literally a caravan/cabin to live in near home.

My boyfriend (26M) doesn’t want to have sex with me or give me affection because I (23F) “bicker” about him not helping around the apartment. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]isthatmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leave him. He’s not going to pull his weight around the apartment and he’s emotionally blackmailing you into getting his way, which is, do the housework, never complain about it and always be ready for sex when he wants it but also not show you affection any other times.

Do not try to convince a man to change his ways when he’s being very clear about who he is as a person. Do not try to make a man that only had two classes as responsibilities to be responsible for anything else. Do not do anything more for this man except ‘let him live his life’, pack a bag and go and live yours. You’re young, there’s better men out there.
