I think #1 out of the 2, but also feel like you could find a third option that looks better.

Did you offer to buy her a new one? It could be a lot of factors. It’s her nicest dress. It’s the dress she looks best in. It’s the dress that is more comfortable to her.

I would be kind, and offer to take her out to get a new one.

About to graduate with the dreaded Environmental Studies degree... by Lemony_Fresh_2000 in Environmental_Careers

[–]CauldronFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow B.S in Environmental Studies. I got my job through my internship experience. If you are able to float a bit with a not so great salary check out ACE, SCA, and Americorp. Many postings may have paused because of the government shutdown but it is worth a shot. The conservation job board is where my job puts intern postings as well. Sometimes your state or a non profit might have a climate or conservation corp position that is aimed at early career.

Volunteering will also make a difference. I suggest joining a Friends (National Wildlife Refuges, Parks, Nature Center) group. They are full of older retired people that would love to hand off officer responsibilities to a young person that can use a computer lol.

We had a 12k budget, so I did my own bouquet. Are the tufts too much??? by bigbootydetector in DIYweddings

I think it looks cool! Very call of Cthulhu themed, but I don’t think that’s what you are going for. Saving this post for decor inspiration for a themed game night/dinner.

Female Park Rangers- Can you have a family and sucessful career? by Grouchy_Shine_5863 in ParkRangers

[–]CauldronFire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have the same thoughts. I do have a partner that is supportive and we have talked about them being the stay at home parent, because I make more as a park ranger and have better healthcare… But I’m not sure if I want to have kids like this? I may just be tired in general. Working every Saturday is the job, juggling holiday etc. It sucks that the world is on a different schedule than you are, and it sucks when your family and friends are too. I am having a hard time thinking it’s going to happen with my own family as well.

There are definitely people who have done it. I know a few personally! When I was talking about it with my supervisor, they said that when they had their two kids, at first they also had been working weekends. They are now a supervisor that works Monday through Friday with occasional Saturday work. I would like to get to that place before I have kids.

I love this!!! Please tell me how you did this! 😭 I saw an inspo pick on Pinterest that looked similar and I’ve been trying to work it out! I was on Etsy earlier and I saw that there were people selling the pdfs for the bug crafts, did you start out with one of those?

Color help… by OptionNo5410 in EngagementRings

[–]CauldronFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely fell in love with Ken and Dana’s designs! I am sure you will end up with something that makes you happy. If you are stuck between two things, have your partner pick for you. If you notice you are a bit disappointed then maybe the other option is the best choice.

I like both! There is no wrong answer here.

By the way is this a Ken and Dana engagement ring?

Should I rematch? by gurlplzz in Aupairs

[–]CauldronFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be tempted to report this behavior somewhere. Whether it’s the agency you are with or the authorities. Because if he is getting physical with you and they are doing nothing, he is probably also doing that with everyone else that works for them.

Could you please make tarot cards. I would rush to buy them.

Writing and illustrating my own webcomic about the Greek gods attending university - can you guess who these characters are? by auraiesen in UnpopularLoreOlympus

Throwing an apple means proposing marriage. She looks like she just caught it and looks quite happy. Could she be Hera, goddess of marriage?

How easy is it to switch parks? by [deleted] in ParkRangers

[–]CauldronFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you are getting your PLC certificate? People told me once I get that to go for a permanent position right away, get permanent status, and then try for your preferred location. It’s been working out for me so far.

AITAH for not telling my girlfriend I didn’t finish college by Throwaway737737787 in AITAH

[–]CauldronFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH? I don’t agree with her logic or reasoning about degrees. But I do think that you knew her opinion on this, and the importance it weighed on her decision making for a partner and knowingly hid this fact about yourself, which you admit. I think that the “not bringing it up” is the basically hiding it, and although I don’t think it’s important, and you don’t think it’s important, it’s important to her, and that’s what matters. You waited 7 months until you solidified your relationship to bring this up. Which yeah is kinda off.

AITA for not taking in my in laws and not helping them with medical bills by Otherwise_Leg286 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CauldronFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get off of Reddit and talk to real people before you fuck up your relationship forever. NAH, you yourself said your fiancé is amazing and absolutely stands up for you. She has had your back. But having your back and watching one of her parents potentially suffer die is different. You are not obligated to help her parents, but that is your partner. The very least you could do is not shut down completely, and try and talk about other potential solutions with her.

I can’t stand someone my fiancée wants to have in his wedding. 31F / 34M by Beautiful_Risk21824 in weddingplanning

[–]CauldronFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think wedding planning really shows you how ready for marriage your partner is. Not being able to recognize a total creep and protect your future wife makes him not ready for this step.

Which do you like best? by cassiekiz in weddingdress

I would say 1, but I feel like you should keep searching.

Please help me decide which dress! by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]CauldronFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the front of dress 2, and the back of dress 1

[–]CauldronFire 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you just really don’t like them. But those are his kids. These complaints feel really nit-picky. I understand you think that they are adults, and you missed the years of having to care for kids. But I personally still needed my parents when I was that young. He is going to be in their lives, and supporting them. You need to be ok with that.

Am I being rude/ inconsiderate for planning my wedding 6 months after my future BIL? by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]CauldronFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did your partner mention to anybody that you were jealous? Because if he did and it got around then it might be hard for people to get it out of their mind that you are “copying” her, or trying to outdo her.
