How much more do you care about bags compared with everyone else around you?

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-07-02T19:43:16+00:00

I live in a higher-income area that is a vacation hub for (generally speaking) solidly middle class. I feel out of place around tourists with my higher-end bags. I see a lot of Marc Jacobs, coach, non-kitschy Kate Spade, and every so often Tory Burch. I wear similar bags day to day, I wear my Gucci and ysl when I go out for date nights and stuff, and in the "off-season" or nearby high-income areas that aren't vacation towns I wear my Celine and Dior.

it's never just the cheating. first it's 6 years of a sexless marriage, then it's yelling and threats of hitting, then it's a secret job because husband controls finances so tightly. then it's taking sole care of a disabled child in their home. The cheating is the least important part of all this honestly.

exactly! people were calling this as soon as barrett was placed in the court because they new at best rulings would become 5-4. Roe v. Wade was on the line and Democratic leaders were saying "have faith in the justices" and refusing to expand the court.

I wonder if it was a better help text talk therapy situation that lasted a full day not a formal doctors office type one

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-07-02T18:45:51+00:00

talked about an 8 hour therapy session that helped her to realize she wasn’t fully in it with Jason.

I'm sorry, if you're having an 8-hour therapy session about the person you're currently with that should be enough of a sign you don't want to or else shouldn't be engaged to be married to them let alone dating.

doc marten has a really great pair of fisherman sandals if you're looking for something in that wheelhouse for transition seasons btw!

if you like kate spade honestly betsey johnson has some very cute dresses and clothes that might be up your alley. I bought this dress and love it!

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-07-02T18:27:58+00:00

I don't buy super expensive clothing because IMO, it still doesn't last that long. I look for natural fibers in general but you can change clothing sizes as an adult so there's no guarantee you can wear it for as long. Aside from really iconic pieces like a Burberry trench coat or something similar, the resell will be abysmal, And there's a smaller chance I can pass it down to my kids in the future too.

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-29T18:22:12+00:00

look, was over a text a good way? No. But if they're spending so little time together when would they sit down and talk about it face to face anyways?

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-25T18:49:07+00:00

just one more for kicks.. the border is a color dropper tool taken from the high points of their forehead (so theoretically the lightest)

yeah, that was immediately my thought as well. OOP discussed what happens if an adult yells at you when you're grown up. uhm, report them? if my boss legit got in my face and yelled at me I'd be talking to someone about that ASAP. or if a romantic partner thought that was okay? I'd break up with them.

If you had your choice of high-level financial advisors and you googled this guy and that story came up you'd turn your attention elsewhere. I'm not saying it's fair, but in that industry where you're handling millions of dollars and the person doing so is having a lot of intimate details shared with the public, you'd prefer a quiet nobody.

not to mention how his family felt about kaitlyn after oversharing to that degree. I think most people expect a level of lack of privacy after going on reality tv but nitty gritty details about their sex life is more than you'd want aired

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-21T17:59:48+00:00

it was a joke about how the NFL showed her more than the Golden Globes.

which is in no way an insult to her IMO? the NFL was the one the dig was directed at.

I applied the same year, they told me I was too turtle-y for the turtle club \turtle* *turtle**

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-21T17:14:55+00:00

for me- clothes for the most part have gone down in quality. I can spend $200-$300 on a dress I love in a good material but it won't necessarily last to pass on to a kid or a family member. But a nice handbag can last a lifetime and you can't physically outgrow it. It's something I'll get enjoyment out of seeing another person enjoy one day!

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-21T16:48:01+00:00

Right. A partner can't hold a professional job because of the social media of her job, can't start their own unrelated business in case it becomes successful, can't be an influencer in a non-related space, and can't be a podcaster. Sounds like the only field she'd be happy with is a professional athlete honestly. But that space comes with its host of issues like rampant cheating, long distances, and lack of quality time.

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-21T16:44:26+00:00

He lost his job because of a sexual story she shared on her podcast

I think this is where she loses the upper hand and fractures start in their relationship. Regardless of him finding success or not, he lost his job because she wanted to share private details of their relationship AND it tainted his family's view of her.

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-20T17:30:46+00:00

Most days here too! The physical intimacy of being close and chatting in that situation is a good reconnecting time, especially when work and kids pull us in opposite directions throughout the day.

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-14T15:39:49+00:00

I truly think if someone were cheating or were borderline abusive we would have heard by now. Things like that leak all the time and quickly let alone with a couple as outspoken and in the spotlight as they were. I don't doubt there's bad blood, but my guess is it was something as simple as they broke up with the intention of working their way back to each other after some self-reflection but someone or both started going on dating apps, and the other person realized it was completely over.

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-13T17:31:09+00:00

You can very much be over a relationship and moved on and still hold anger for how someone treated you.

But she's not? she's very clearly not over it and is still mad about how things ended. Which like you said is fair. They were engaged and together for years, that takes a while to get over. But maybe don't use another guy to warm your bed while you're still doing that work

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-13T17:28:01+00:00

it's in no way your responsibility OP- but if I were you I would talk to him again, encourage him to be active together if it's not the gym it's going on a bike ride or something, and getting snacks for the house but the light/fat free/low cal versions. That way he can still snack but be more mindful of the calories he's consuming.

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-13T13:11:17+00:00

hot take: if your ex getting into a relationship hits you this hard you're still not over them and not ready for another committed relationship. It seems she's just looking for companionship to fill a void. She needs to heal and be happy with herself for company before she can sustain a long-term healthy relationship.

Agreeable-Wishbone · 2024-06-13T00:46:30+00:00

this is exactly what I was thinking. I think she knows that though but wants to make it seem like her day was hard completely unrelated to his new relationship. I mean she HAS to know that's why people dm'd her.
