To think this is really romantic

[Letmegoplease]

I just saw this story pop up on my suggestions, a rather nice story from the DF in my opinion. People may obviously have their complaints but I think this is such a romantic thing to do. Yes it was stupid and reckless but so many of us do stupid things for love.

Putting the lives of others at risk isn't really romantic imo.

He couldn’t swim, and it took him 5 hours to do the crossing due to his ineptitude.

After his arrival they went on a bloody night out, mixing with others.

He risked spreading Covid to a community which has managed to eradicate it.

He’s a moron who put people in danger - both the coastguard if they had had to rescue him, and the people on the island.

All because he wanted a shag.

The very definition of Covidiot.

I agree that the gesture is romantic, the guy is clearly as daft as a brush but he was also thoughtless and reckless, he could have put many of the lives of those who might have had to rescue him at risk, the sea was so treacherous that the local fishermen called off their work for the day, plus he could barely swim, it was a foolish act and he was very, very lucky to have made it unscathed (but yes I do see the romanticism!).

Nope not romantic. He's an absolute tool who put his own life and those of others at risk.

I’m amazed that she hasn’t been arrested and charged to be honest. She knew what he’d done and then went out on the piss with him, endangering the lives of others. She should be keeping her mouth shut and hanging her head in shame. And he is a prized bellend.

Absolute knob stick

And she sounds just as thick as does

If you measure romance levels on the scale of how much of an idiot someone is, then yes, this is very romantic.

I'm just laughing at all the pictures of her with filters on them.

No I don't think it's romantic. Romantic might have been arranging a local florist to deliver her favourite flowers. Attempting to cross a body of water without the first clue of what you're doing is just dangerous. He was lucky.

Yes it was stupid. But the gesture of him travelling the Irish Sea on a Jet ski to see his gf is really romantic to me. If I was the gf is wouldn’t complain. I can only imagine how hard the pandemic has been for couples who are live far from each other but would manage in the normal times to meet up.

I would be shagging my DH all day if he did something like for me. I wouldn’t care if I ended catching COVID in the process.

What idiots!!

He's a fucking moron.

He has two kids at home. It'd suit him better to spend his time and energy focusing on his kids, instead of endangering his life and wasting the time of the authorities and coast guard.

I think romance is being an equal partner every day, remaining engaged with the relationship and respectful and supportive etc during the hard times as well as the joyful ones.

Many women do think romance = grand gestures no matter how foolish, ridiculous or rare these acts may be. And, apparently, repay them with sex. It's a peculiar and damaging dynamic but not uncommon.

Selfish, selfish idiot.
Not only did he risk taking COVID to a COVID free area he was very lucky to avoid needing rescuing by people who would have to risk their lives to do so.

What a dick

I would be shagging my DH all day if he did something like for me.

I bet his cell mate would enjoy the show .

If it was my boyfriend, I'd hope he got stung in the johnston by a Portuguese Man o'War, because he's certainly not be needing to use it with me for a while, the stupid irresponsible arsehole.

I won't click on the link thanks, but I think I'm getting the gist from other replies.

You might want to shag him all day long, but you'd be on mn in two years time complaining about how irresponsible he is and how you can't trust him to look after the kids on his own.

It's not romantic, it's stupid.

I think it's scary that these are the type of people having kids these days

Did you really read the article fully? He met her three months ago on a four week trip to the island. And then went home, and was refused permission to go back again. So I’m guessing he had a tantrum because she could go out and he can’t and wanted to check up on her..... After all, spending most of your #everlasting #soooooinlove holiday romance apart can’t be easy.

He can’t swim, it took him 4.5 hours to travel there. He had 10 mins of petrol left. He was lucky not to be stranded in the sea and die. And he has 2 children who would’ve been left fatherless. Never mind COVID.
Can’t see it as romantic, but can see it as a warning not to procreate with an idiot.

There was a thread on this the other day. The op said he should have at least taken some milk tray 😂

Haha I wish I had a man do that for me! It did make me laugh

He’s an a*hole, not a romantic.

Yes criminal stupidity and endangering the lives of the crews of multiple lifeboats and potentially bringing Covid to a Covid-free community is really romantic. I bet Shakespeare is kicking himself he didn't include a non-swimming gobshite on a jetski (who is 'believed' to have split up from the mother of his two children before he met his paramour in September) in Romeo and Juliet.
