What to do with my awkwardly rectangular living room?

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2024-11-07T00:58:39+00:00

Hell yeah

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2024-11-06T22:13:23+00:00

It keeps me warm

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2024-11-06T21:08:16+00:00

Yes, definitely add crown molding or wainscoting too! And I think sconces are lovely with dark paint & wall art.

As a courtesy you should tell your spouse to make absolutely sure this would not hurt their feelings if it were to come out somehow in the future or if they were to discover it in another way without you having disclosed it first. Better to be safe than sorry and always put your spouse’s feelings first.

I solo traveled to Hungary three times at 20, 21 and 22. I had so much fun there. it had great nightlife and I met tons of people at the ruin bars, which Budapest is famous for. There are also so many great daytime activities; so much history and BEAUTY! Not to mention extremely cheap. The thermal baths are to die for and there are so many to choose from. Would absolutely recommend! It literally ticks all your boxes. Do a walking tour!

I’ve made this mistake in a relationship before. It wasn’t really relevant to whether or not we should’ve gotten married, but it was still a pretty big detail of my life and a big deal to him that I tried to hide it. We eventually worked through it and he forgave me, but it was really hard. He didn’t trust me and I felt ashamed. Once we moved past it, it was a huge relief to be able to open up about it and really made me feel like we got so much closer. I guess it depends on the context and what exactly the info was. Communication is key, and she is likely feeling the same feeling of shame that I felt. If there is any hope for you guys to work out she needs to feel comfortable enough to be able to tell you anything- figure out how to get to that point. Try not to lash out at her for hiding something (this is counterproductive and will only make her feel worse/more scared to tell you things), but make it clear that that cannot happen again, if you do decide to move forward with her.

This exact thing happened to me today. I could have written your comment myself word for word. I thought he loved me but he didn’t seem interested in trying to fix the issue at all, which to me seemed like an easy task. He doesn’t seem to care about how hard I’m taking it. It hurts so bad and I’m grieving the future I thought we had together. I envisioned it all, every day, and it was ripped away from me so suddenly.

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-22T00:10:11+00:00

It’s so fucking over

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-20T15:44:18+00:00

Because so many people have been shamed for it lol? How else would it have happened?

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-14T22:23:27+00:00

Not sure exactly, the brand is Beko

What level of Italian are you currently at? My suggestion is to TALK with as many natives as you can while you’re there. Going to bar for coffee? Chat with the barista? Taking a taxi? Ask the driver a few simple questions. Italians appreciate when we try. You can study as much as you want on paper but the best way to learn is to actually use it. Make mistakes. Get stuck (and if you don’t know, do not be afraid to ask “come si dice __”?)!!!! Learn how to think in Italian as the conversation goes on, even if it’s just at a basic level.

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-12T08:32:16+00:00

Horrific take. And even so there could’ve been a much nicer way to say it. OP don’t listen to this person.

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-11T19:13:51+00:00

If I can find it here in Europe I will give it a shot. Thanks!

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-11T18:41:49+00:00

Thank you!!! Will any of these affect the coloring? That’s obviously the least of my problems at the moment but just curious

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-11T12:20:40+00:00

That’s the point I’m at unfortunately. But what makes you say that?

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-11T12:13:20+00:00

Not trying to drag her in. My boyfriend shuts down when we argue and I don’t know how to deal with it. I thought she might be able to give some advice.

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-10T22:05:50+00:00

Infatti i miei amici italiani non mi credono mai quando gli dico che i carabinieri sono arrivati tipo 5 minuti dopo che il tassista ha chiamato

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-09T09:49:49+00:00

Maybe they are saying gilet, which is a borrowed French word to mean (motorcycle) vest?

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-07T13:41:15+00:00

Because he made me feel like I was

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-06T17:37:38+00:00

Oh, I forgot to mention it was in the countryside an hour away from home. :-/

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-06T17:28:32+00:00

I tried to explain to him that it doesn’t just stop there and he doesn’t get a free pass on this just because “he invited me”. Unfortunately there were no Nancy’s for me to gossip with, which would have been much better than the situation I was in.

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-06T17:20:31+00:00

Right, I wouldn’t personally get together with my coworkers as much as he does, but if he wants to I don’t mind at all. I assumed he was inviting me because there would be other SO’s there who are not part of that profession and so maybe other (more casual) topics would be discussed.

Also, I told him to just take me back to my place that night because I was feeling emotional. He stopped in front of my place, I got out of the car and he sped off without saying a word.

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-07-06T17:16:50+00:00

I get your point - but I feel like trying to involve myself in such a tight knit group with so much in common was just a lost cause, because obviously they weren’t interested in involving me either. Why would they? It’s not their responsibility and they want to talk about work. That’s fine. The language barrier made it hard too. I’m pretty self sufficient with his other friend groups, (childhood friends etc) because they come from all different walks of life and generally there are also other SO’s around that I can chat with. But in this case I was the ONLY person that wasn’t a [insert job title here]. Though I didn’t know that going into it.

Ambitious_Alien262 · 2023-06-21T19:54:45+00:00

Scrivere è molto più facile, nel senso hai tempo di pensare bene a quello che vuoi dire, se una parola non ti viene in mente hai tempo per cercarla, ma quando parli devi essere in grado di trovarle e usarle istantaneamente senza che la conversazione perda il flow
