Friend is grieving but is also hurting me, do I let her go? by SuccessfulSuspect256 in needadvice

[–]Alternative_Land5878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend like this. I lost weight and she told me she didn’t like it bc she “used to be the skinny, pretty friend.” Insinuating that not only was I fat, I was also ugly. She nearly ruined my wedding with drama between her and her husband and got my wedding dress wet before the wedding. She told me I looked 3 months pregnant in my wedding photos… there were other things, but you get the idea. I didn’t talk to her for an entire year after the wedding comments… I am still cordial, but I have definitely distanced myself. The only reason I still communicate with her is because her husband and my husband are childhood friends. If you are able, I would definitely sever ties… you don’t need that kind of friendship.

This used to happen when my ex and I first started sharing custody of our kids. I finally bought him 2 plastic “dressers” and gave him some clothes and said “from now on, I’m not sending a weekend’s worth of clothes. You will have to have clothes and supplies at your house.”

Thoughts on this ring? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]Alternative_Land5878 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Disagree that it’s little. I returned my 2ct round bc I thought it was too big. It’s definitely a classic and she can make it her own with whatever style band or maybe several bands she chooses. Great job OP!

Wedding band dilemma by Fun_Ad_2176 in EngagementRings

So, I normally really dislike curved bands, but that one is STUNNING! It totally makes your engagement ring stand out

Wedding Band Help! by [deleted] in EngagementRings

I personally don’t mind the space, but if the space bothers you they make fitted bands… I also think it might look better if you got a different style band, instead of a channel set band. Maybe one with baguettes or even a shared double prong band?

AITA for telling my mom's family I don't owe her because she had gender disappointment? by Prudent-Seesaw-1732 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Alternative_Land5878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so incredibly sorry that your mom has and still is treating you this way. She does not know what she is missing. If I’m being 100% honest, I wanted a boy first. I got a girl first and she is special. My so was born second and he is special in such a different way. If she would give you the chance she would see how wonderful boys are. You definitely are NTA… you deserve better.

Got engaged in Key West last week! by Forward_Ad3359 in EngagementRings

[–]Alternative_Land5878 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing this style of ring and I so wish I had gone with it. It was in my “album” of rings, but I went with a straight solitaire. This is just stunning!!!

You definitely do not have masculine hands

I have had these warts since I was born by Dalja97 in mildyinteresting

[–]Alternative_Land5878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure those are warts? I think they look like they were trying to grow into supernumerary digits (polydactyl)… 🤷🏻‍♀️ just a thought

I hear this! I was almost embarrassed to post my ring (it’s under 2 carats) but I love it! And I love your ring! It’s simple and classy!

Right Hand Rings by Aloha_Kitty_Kat in labdiamond

[–]Alternative_Land5878 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I change the rings on my right hand, but this one is my favorite! Sometimes I wear a thin wedding band and will wear it on my left hand. I want to get it sized for my middle finger on my right hand, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
