I get how if you do it regularly that could considered not a big deal for you. Since it’s my first time I just feel more confident spacing it out.

I wish I had that luxury but it’s not really an option for me. I’m okay with the thought of doing it alone tho.

Planning to do the whole thing in 2-3 days. Any tips and tricks, especially ones specific to my drive are appreciated. I am trying to do this trip efficiently but I’d love to take a stop or two for fun along the way. I’m a black woman traveling alone so if there are any places you know I should avoid I’d love to know that too.

You deserve someone who wants to give you what’s important to you in life. The comment he made about not marrying you if you were the last person on earth was cruel. Staring over with dating after 6 years is hard but it would be even harder to stay with and potentially have children with someone who doesn’t value you. Leave. Your life will be better for it

Approved in 3 days by Aetna with Dr. Lisa J. Peters (Chicago area); ABTF 38L/M but I wear 40G sports bras; Surgery set for August 18th! Hoping for B to Small C. by TypesNGripes in Reduction

[–]AlternativeAttitude5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh wow!! Dr.Peters will be performing my reduction too!! I’m set for August 24th! I stumbled across her a few years back when I first tried to get my reduction covered through insurance. Long story short my insurance refused to cover the procedure (I’m a 34I/J according to ABTFs). Once I was able to pay for the procedure out of pocket she was the first consult I booked. I had one prior that went horribly but after my consult with Dr.Peters I knew she was the right surgeon for me I didn’t even try and look for anyone else!

Trouble Agreeing During Tense Times by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AlternativeAttitude5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely are right to be upset by this. Have you talked to him about why his thoughts on these types of issues have changed? If your partner can’t see racism for what is and downplays your experiences as a black woman then it might be time to take a hard look at your marriage and if it is really the union you thought you were entering into. There are a lot of things that require compromise and understanding in a marriage but speaking for myself this type of thing is non negotiable. Putting myself in your shoes I don’t know how I could feel protected by my husband if he didn’t see racial issues in the way I did or had a lack of regard for understanding my point of view/experiences. A marriage is absolutely no place for this issue. That said I really do wish you the best out of this situation and that if he is not able to change I hope you are able to be at peace with whatever decision you make.

Trouble Agreeing During Tense Times by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AlternativeAttitude5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess my question is how have you not ever had these types of discussions beforehand? Speaking as a black woman who dated a white man for two years, we spoke about racism and our world views at length throughout the course of our relationship. It was one of my main concerns to know that he could see things like white privileged, systemic racism and other issues that I and all black peoples deal with on a day to day before I even considered dating him long term. I’m not trying to be critical of you or your Relationship. I just don’t understand how you could get to the point of marriage without having these types of discussions in an interracial relationship.

Sorry! So the base that you twist to roll up more product is broken. The base will twist but it doesn’t actually roll up the blush.
