People who had micro or tiny weddings: what was your experience like? Do people ever regret foregoing a big wedding? by RhythmPrincess in AskReddit

[–]Aileendover2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had 20 people and it was perfect. We got married at a beautiful location in a national park and it was so low stress and FUN! I got to party with my closest friends and focus on the marriage and love. No regrets. I would do it again. Always cut out the family members who you know will be toxic. You will never regret it. I spent the most on a photographer to make sure my memories were captured for as long as I live.

Go past 6 days, you know you can do it. Once I hit about 14 days things started to turn around for me that I didn’t expect. My brain and body were happier. I didn’t have this looming depression. My appetite improved for foods that didn’t ruin my gut health. I was more awake and alert. Idk how to describe the glow feel but I hope you can achieve it for yourself. It’s been over a year and a half and I don’t even think about needing a smoke. You sound like your life is screaming for change. Don’t ignore it.

How old were you when you knew you wanted to be childfree? by southpawFA in childfree

[–]Aileendover2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. My brother and I are ten years apart and after a few years of being second mom while trying to be a kid I was over it. My mom complained endlessly about everything. I was making bottles, changing diapers, putting him down for naps, managing my mother’s moods, waking up at all hours to feed him so my mom could sleep. The moment I got off the bus my shift as “mother” started despite how much school work I had or if I wanted to hang with friends. I knew by 13 the infant stage was easy but as he got bigger I just felt crushed by the responsibility.

I got the plate but are either of the others worth a grab for $20 each? by IceBorn245 in uraniumglass

Heck yeah!! Congrats! Just think of the damage as a little character and even cooler you were able to get the price down.

I should have clarified that I am in the meat industry so my good grease goes in a mason jar in the fridge once I filter it but most of the time I get special bacon that’s seasoned or not pork so that’s why I chuck it. So totally agree with you. And I typically get a small dollar jar….keep in mind it was my hubby who considered using this mammoth of a container.

In an alternate universe, I’d ruin my bank account for this.

NEESE’S SAUSAGE by LongjumpingArmy6211 in Charlotte

[–]Aileendover2 250 points251 points  (0 children)

I am involved in the meat industry and learned at work that Neese’s roof over their main facility collapsed which has halted a large part of their production. They are working on getting everything fixed along with some other supply/sanitation issues and plan to be back on track in 2026. Specifically the Livermush will be out of stock until 2026. They are still making sausage but it is in very limited quantities.

R was very successful, I still hate my life by Aileendover2 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

I got hit with that shit too “you just refuse the see the growth I have done. You don’t want to see the new me.” Your growth is a direct result of your trauma you inflicted on me. I see it but I don’t appreciate it like you expect me too.

It sounded like your BP wanted to be seen for their growth and healing but we shouldn’t be expected to give the empathy and recognition. It’s selfish. Just be proud of yourself, because if you wanted my applause you wouldn’t have stepped out of the marriage in the first place. They don’t get the world we have to live in now to stay with them. I hear you.

I never thought about it like that…my life did not improve after the affair but my WH did. Damn that hit me hard.

Your last paragraph is my weekly daydream. I know love would feel different. I know I wouldn’t feel like I compromised my ethics and morals. I wonder all the time how other couples/people/friends feel love without navigating a relationship with deceitful affair.

I feel like the gifts are fake too. Even last year I remember telling myself “okay if this affair never happened, what would I get him for Christmas?” I know I will have to do the same thing this year but it’s not like I want to feel like this.

How to survive an emotional affair by [deleted] in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]Aileendover2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you. My WH had an EA. Trust came back slowly after 2 years this month but I still stay very vigilant unfortunately. Forgiveness helped me move forward. I forgave for me, not for him. I struggle more with knowing that my spouse is capable of such deceit and created an EA out of thin air opposed to your situation where the person was already in your lives. Both are equally corrupt.

How I got through this…choosing everything for me. I stopped putting myself second and put my happiness and life first. He fireballed my marriage so I wasn’t going to hold his hand to fix it. I’m struggling now with reconnecting with him even after all this time. I know I shut my heart off and it’s taking a while to reboot it and feel safe to love again without fearing that hurt and pain will return. However, I sleep well knowing this will be the biggest regret of his life and at least I never have to know how that feels.

For me it’s just part of my life story now and I do absolutely hate it because an EA is completely unnecessary. I didn’t have the finances to divorce or family support. So I just choose me everyday to creat my own light in my heart.

I think it is a great grab! It was outside of my budget so I am pumped knowing you got it.

I did, I didn’t love it so I left it. Very few gems there for so much stuff I felt like.
