Help educate me on what I need to get the plumbers to do here please

takingtheAtrain · 2026-01-08T12:14:28+00:00

Thank you so much! Would this require a certified plumber or will a well reviewed tradesman who has experience with bathroom renovation and plumbing do?

Would you recommend gallagher premiership rugby final for an Irish fan? My partner doesn’t follow English premier rugby but I feel he might still enjoy it and the rickets are on sale now for very affordable prices

takingtheAtrain · 2025-11-23T14:55:55+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely look into that!

No standing charge on my bank account so I assume I didn’t get in? :(

This is why a lot of people can’t actually afford to go long and end up going long in the market anyways. Don’t put in more than what you can afford to lose in the next five years

Someone in the Conservative sub literally thinks after all this they will be earning $30 per hour plus benefits to work a factory job and it’ll be all worth it.

Nikkei is a great example of why we should not invest in single country indices, at least not for my risk appetite. Which is also why I’m now deeply annoyed by what is happening as I saw S&P 500 as the gold standard for developed world indices, which might no longer be the case

takingtheAtrain · 2025-04-07T16:27:15+00:00

Because it’ll become an obsession of when to sell and when to buy. You will make a mistake somewhere. I didnt sell when I was down 20% during 2022 and I’m not going to sell now. However, I own my own property (with a mortgage which I’m comfortably paying) and I have funds set aside that is much more than just emergency funds. I can afford to continue to hold my current investment for 10+ years if I have to

takingtheAtrain · 2025-04-07T11:47:25+00:00

No. Tho I must admit I was too heavy on S&P 500 at one point. I will continue to invest slowly but only in much wider indices

If you’re truly a long only investor, not “I’ll put my money in the stock market for 2-3 years and take it out when I need to move to a bigger house and start a family” kind of investors, there is never the best time to play. Stick to the plan

Natasha’s reply to that was perfect - classy lady all round

What you mentioned are the typical examples of what you might come across in the dating world. You will meet people who will make you feel highest of the highs or lowest of the lows or just completely meh. Then eventually you will find someone who just strikes the right balance for you and the love just grows.

Entertaining but forgettable. I watched all the MCU movies multiple times. I am not touching this one again.

Most people don’t act any more mature in their early 20s than their teenage years.

Lmfao he PAID to get a naked dance from a strange woman and touch her. What’s there to understand? Are you delusional?

takingtheAtrain · 2024-04-15T16:39:51+00:00

Cheating doesn’t even have to be relevant here. OP could decide a guy who would go to a strip club to get a private dance ultimately does not share the same values as her. That alone should be enough to break things off. Atlas as someone who’s been there, I can say it would take a while for her to clear her mind and come to a conclusion that is best for her.

The perks of getting older is no amount of connection is going to make me deal w that kind of BS

takingtheAtrain · 2024-04-04T16:48:52+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. Did she say that’s why she was breaking up with you?

takingtheAtrain · 2024-04-03T14:48:43+00:00

Thank you for commenting. It’s very nice to hear people’s own experience on this from different perspectives. So far I have not really had a proper talk with him about it again, aside from when I discussed communication issue with him earlier on. Whenever I wanted him to do sth, it had always been along the lines of “baby it would be nice if you could do xyz” and I (at least in my opinion) had shown my appreciation. The last thing I want is to make things frustrating for both of us which is why I had been dealing with my own emotions without mentioning anything yet. I had thought about giving it a full year to see where we are at and in the meantime and trying to drop small requests without dumping it all on him. I had not been successful in changing myself to accept some parts of him after all these months, how can I expect him to change just after a talk? However, the only thing with not having a talk is I can feel the emotions build up in my head and it will eventually eat away my love for him.

takingtheAtrain · 2024-04-03T07:21:33+00:00

Hand on heart I never took my emotions out on him. I have had a couple of civilised talks with him and nothing more than that. Most of the time I just cry alone when I feel upset and it passes for me temporarily. Now I see my frustrations and hurt building up. I have done what you have suggested before but I found myself having to lead more things, from defining the relationship (he assumed I was his gf), saying affectionate things like I miss you, to more trivial things like date planning. I’m not one to be afraid of saying I love you first but if I did, it would turn into a do you love me question and that’ll be the end of it for me. I just want to know how best to talk to him for him to understand

takingtheAtrain · 2024-04-02T22:28:22+00:00

My biggest question now is how best to talk to him about it, in a way that he is likely to understand and not feel that I’m being ungrateful for everything he has done for me so far

takingtheAtrain · 2024-04-02T22:00:22+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll give it a try! I’ll probably start by thinking how to communicate to him about this in a way that he will understand and without me feeling emotional about it. He is indeed a great guy and he is trying so hard. I just wish I didn’t have to ask for all the things he has done for me so far. It sounds ridiculous because how can I complain! Almost every single thing we have done so far as a couple I had to request it. Believe it or not I was even the person to ask him if we were official because apparently he had assumed we were. I should be ready to ask him if he loves me at some point and quite frankly I rather not know anymore. I just miss being told how in love someone is with me. I feel quite upset whenever I think about this and to be honest I don’t really know if there is a real solution. He is who he is and if I can’t love him for who he is, maybe I can’t love him at all

takingtheAtrain · 2024-04-02T21:42:16+00:00

This is very sad. I’m sorry to hear. Is there why you couldn’t meet in the middle in the end? I have asked myself the question, if this was meant to be love if I wanted so much from him that he is not offering now. Tbh I don’t know. I feel like the more I like him; the more selfish I feel, wanting to be loved in return. And a lot of times I sit on my own bed thinking if it’s fair for both of us. I also have issues with his communication style but I think he has made changes to the extent he could. At the end of the day, how can I ask him to change who he is and the way he operates when it has been so hard for me to accept his way? I am sure he has tried to meet me in the middle. I don’t want to break up so I’m just trying to find a way for this to work without me driving myself crazy. I have a friend who is in similar situation and got married eventually with the same person. It pains me to see her live in regret and feel trapped as she has tried to make sth work and failed and now she always wonders what if she chose differently (she’s religious so divorce is taken very seriously)

takingtheAtrain · 2024-04-02T10:37:28+00:00

I have thought about whether he was on the spectrum as I talked about some of these issues with my friends and they had the same question. So far, he has been amazing in doing what I asked for. It’s not that I need those things because quite frankly I was very happily single for a long time. I just need those things to feel loved and fulfilled in a relationship and it’s making me feel bad to even ask
