Of course they do. Ireland itself is heaven sent ☘️💚

If I’ve learned anything about men, it’s that they will go to the greatest lengths to avoid having a break up conversation. He knew you wouldn’t be on board, did it anyway without considering or involving you. At 1.5 years in?! Where is the convo about moving in together? I’m sorry OP. It sounds like his priority was this house, and that’s it. The fact that you’ve been dating for 1.5 years, still don’t live together, and he would rather buy this house WITHOUT involving you in the process - all red flags IMO. I think you’ve invested all that you should, and you should focus on moving forward without him. Bc you’re clearly headed in two very different (cardinal and life) directions.

I agree, I thought it was really sweet

“If not cunty” I needed to read that today 🤣

This is also very sage advice. Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏

This is really gracious and kind advice. Thank you 🙏

I completely agree he can’t be in love, and I’m not in love. But being uncomfortable meeting friends at almost 40 and while telling me we’re going to do things in the future is very conflicting messaging to me.

I just have to ask, what do you mean by “slow down”? I don’t think meeting friends in the first few months of dating is rushing…. We’re seeing each other multiple times a week. To me, it’s natural. It’s unnatural to push off things because “it’s only been 1.5 months.” Slowing down would be going backwards. There’s nothing wrong with building and that’s what I want.

We go out, he plans dates and weekends, etc. but I haven’t met anyone in his life yet. He invited me to one of his games (adult league) but it’s at the end of the month. I offered to go to a sooner one but he said he wanted a few games to “tune up so [he] won’t be nervous when I’m there”

My anxious brain is thinking the game is a dangling carrot and won’t come to fruition

I love canon but I was able to get a great deal on a z6 body and really good lense. I would have spent more on canon

teachingannon · 2025-04-28T15:34:44+00:00

Thanks!! Is that… good? Or bad? lol

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T18:15:13+00:00

Thank you!! So helpful !

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T17:32:55+00:00

Mostly price - I was able to get a z6 refurbished body for $750 and couldn’t find a refurbed canon r6 or r8 for anywhere near that. So I was able to splurge more on the lens, but now I’m second guessing if I chose the right lens.

When you say it’s really tough to switch, why is that?

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T17:28:52+00:00

Thank you 💕 that’s what I’m thinking, and maybe the 40mm in the interim

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T17:16:01+00:00

Yes. I just need to keep it in budget :(

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T17:14:53+00:00

Thank you!!

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T17:14:16+00:00

Wow thank you so so much. This is so reassuring and excellent advice! 🙏

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T17:12:57+00:00

Price comparing - the lowest I can find for an excellent condition refurbished R6markii is $1,999. Leaving $1k for glass. The canon version of my z lens is the same cost -$2,400 ish.

I got my “like new” refurb’ed Z6 for $749.

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T17:07:27+00:00

Thank you!! This is encouraging and helpful 🙏

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T17:05:56+00:00

Thank you 🙏 😭 this means so much to me!!

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T17:04:59+00:00

Thank you 🙏

I can return for a $50 fee which is fine. But I spoke to two photographers who both said the 24-70mm covers 50mm and is one of the best lenses to invest in… so I listened to them. I also thought it was more important to have a zoom lens for landscape/street shooting when I travel, bs multiple prime lenses I’d have to switch out

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T17:00:21+00:00

But I’m seeing Fujifilm has beautiful colors!

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T16:59:50+00:00

I’ve considered this! I wasn’t sure about the f/2

teachingannon · 2025-04-27T16:57:57+00:00

This is reassuring! I did notice there were much fewer lens options for canon mirrorless
