Dear Dáithí: We agreed — no marriage, no kids — but I feel my partner is changing his mind
Dear Dáithí: My fiancée is making our 'big day' even bigger
"You need to approach this with caution. The ball has started rolling already and it might be hard to slow it down..."

Dear Dáithí: My daughter wants to go on a 'Junior Cert holiday' to London

Teenage boy attending to online school class
Dear Dáithí: I'm worried my son is studying too much
He is 18 and an adult and you say you can’t tell him what to do. Of course you can. He can vote for whoever he wants next week, but he can’t vote you out of office

Dear Dáithí: We agreed — no marriage, no kids — but I feel my partner is changing his mind
Dear Dáithí: We agreed — no marriage, no kids — but I feel my partner is changing his mind
Your letter tells a story of two halves — in the first part, the lines are very clear, and towards the end, your foundation is a little shaky.

Mon, 22 Apr, 2024

Dear Dáithí: Can I be a godmother if I don’t believe in God?
S Dear Dáithí: My partner is upset because I won't share my phone password
Here’s the question though, if our husband or wife or partner do have our passwords what are they going to do with them?

Mon, 12 Feb, 2024

Dear Dáithí: Can I be a godmother if I don’t believe in God?
Dear Dáithí: Can I be a godmother if I don’t believe in God?
"It might seem that ye are at two opposite ends here, but I think we should look at the middle ground here. No matter what religion or no religion at all, ye are good people and believe in right from wrong."

Mon, 05 Feb, 2024

Dear Dáithí: My daughter didn't go to a sleepover and is now being left out of her friend group
S Dear Dáithí: 'I’m 61, and I have no one I would call a friend. I hate feeling this lonely'
'You have worked hard all your life making sure everyone else was taken care of, this is your time now, but it's all in your hands, it's up to you to change things'

Mon, 22 Jan, 2024

Dear Dáithí: My daughter didn't go to a sleepover and is now being left out of her friend group
Dear Dáithí: 'I feel like I'm losing my children to their online lives'

Dear Dáithí: 'I'm worried my religious parents will reject me if I tell them I am gay'
Dear Dáithí: 'I'm worried my religious parents will reject me if I tell them I am gay'
"Your parents seem to be good people, they are obviously people of strong faith. People might not think much of this anymore, I really like it."

Mon, 08 Jan, 2024

Dear Dáithí: My mum passed away this year and I can't get past the grief - I'm dreading Christmas
Dear Dáithí: We don't like my brother's new girlfriend - she doesn't fit in with the family
"What if you brought home someone new and the others seemed cold towards them, and the same sister threw a comment to you, how would you feel?"
