You’ve funnelled all your emotional rage into Cork City and poor parallel parking.

In hindsight, personally speaking I entered relationships and a marriage having been taught how to behave in one from parents who had no idea how to behave in a relationship, learned from watching an older brother who learned from our dysfunctional parents and then from mates who grew up in dysfunctional households. That’s what my partners got. Dysfunction. It’d be very easy to blame who I learned from, but the truth was, I was unwilling to question whether what I had learned from a child watching other people in relationships, was sane, sound or healthy. I refused to question it, as questioning it would involve work, if I didn’t like the answers. I would then have the option of learning how to communicate, care and trust in a healthy fashion. I didn’t. The result was two decades of mad relationships and chaotic behaviour. Growing up in Ireland, most of us are terrified of any real attempts at intimacy, because our parents were unable to have healthy intimacy with their partners or their children and without it…relationships are skin deep agreements and shot through with fear instead of love. My tuppence.

As long as one’s not on the throes of contemplating asking the big question 
Always- mine was a beautiful Kerry woman who backed all her sons always,
Even when we were young,’
Told me in no uncertain terms you don’t need to marry her😊
And even in McNamaras hotel Moville at the reception/ piss up
Said ‘ boy u can get into the car now with your father and me and not a bad word will be spoken’
Loyalty to the bitter end
