Dear Dáithí: I've a good life, but I'd love a partner to share it with
Dear Dáithí: I've a good life, but I'd love a partner to share it with
It’s not even about the sex (ok, maybe a little). It’s about the companionship 

Sun, 18 Aug, 2024

Dear Dáithí: My sister-in-law won't respect my wishes to have an eco-friendly baby shower
Dear Dáithí: Our sibling is in trouble, but proud — how can we help?
"The rest of us have been trying to think of the best way to approach the situation, and not make it look like we’re pitying them, or that we think they’re a charity."

Sun, 28 Jul, 2024

Dear Dáithí: My sister-in-law won't respect my wishes to have an eco-friendly baby shower
Dear Dáithí: My friend's phone use is putting a dampener on nights out
Another problem this week that didn’t exist when we were young but is very common nowadays

Mon, 22 Jul, 2024

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
Dear Dáithí: My daughter wants to go on a 'Junior Cert holiday' to London
'I think a lot of people will be reading this, and looking over at a son or daughter on the other side of the rooms saying, this lad is writing about you.'

Mon, 03 Jun, 2024

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'
