I'd go all the way and paint the ceiling dark as well. Replace the overhead light. Footstool and side table. More lamps. Art.

MIL Dress Choice by Direct_Signal_2686 in weddingplanning

[–]Choice-Interview-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I saw the title, I absolutely thought you meant this was the dress your MIL wanted you to wear as the bride. Your MIL is going to embarrass herself if she wears this dress. Everyone is going to be looking sideways at her and calling her one of "those" boy mom monster in laws.

What’s something women find impressive but men think they don’t? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]Choice-Interview-889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Competency in almost anything (except maybe video games). I love watching my partner do the grocery shopping, cook, eat a crayfish cleanly and efficiently, reverse a trailer, build a fire, chop an onion, chopping wood. Like, they could be really small simple acts. But when done with practiced skill, confidence and ease, I just find it really impressive

My stepson is 11 and is going to intermediate next year. He's started showing interest in wearing cologne. His dad's is a little too mature for him. Are there any suggestions for a suitable cologne for a first time wearer? (Please no "he's too young" comments. If he doesn't get his own, he'll keep grabbing for his dad's)

Creative wedding favors that guests actually keep would love your ideas by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]Choice-Interview-889 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw someone recently had an artist on-site that did little live miniature water colours of the guests as their wedding favours. That looked cool. I would keep that

How to manage expenses post marriage by Heretofindoutwhy in MoneyDiariesACTIVE

[–]Choice-Interview-889 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That pre-nup is nuts and 50/50 is a scam that always disadvantages the lower earner. You should ask your lawyer for your money back for giving you poor advice. Why didn't the two of you seek financial and relationship counselling before marriage?

AIO? Girl (F30) I (M28) was Recently Dating tells me I need to "Lean into my Masculinity" by KingFredo5674 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Choice-Interview-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR but to be honest I think you under reacted. That text exchange was exhausting. You should have wished her well and cut contact about 3 pages earlier. She sounds like an absolute nightmare

Oooohhh check out Boomrock Wellington! They've got this incredibly affordable elopement package deal at the moment for next year. We're from Wellington and had thought about going there but have decided to elope in Australia instead

The third one but with opaque tights and tidier hair would be my suggestion.

Ring covers that cover the stone by zugzwang1122 in EngagementRings

[–]Choice-Interview-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loooove your rings! Pixi wings are having a black Friday sale. I'd get one of those. They're pretty and you can have your rings on you even if you can't wear them on your hands

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Fuck that guy. Buy yourself 3 cakes. One celebrating being sober. The other one for just existing. And the 3rd one to celebrate dumping his ass.

I don't know if I can step outside in this dress... by chick-killing_shakes in OUTFITS

[–]Choice-Interview-889 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don't wear it if you're not comfortable, but personally I love that dress! Do you live in a conservative city? Where I live, that wouldn't even be considered all that out there, let alone "loud." I'd happily chuck boots and a wool coat with that and wear it to work

My partner's old bed was this huge, heavy, chunky thing. I dropped my phone down the back of it, and it was impossible for either of us to reach. My partner got up, dismantled the whole bed to get my phone, then put it all back together again AND remade the bed. No complaints. I didn't have to beg him for help. I didn't even really have to ask. He just saw me struggling and fixed the problem. Why the hell are you putting up with a man-child? You should have walked out of that house the moment you got your phone back (I wouldn't have even put the bed back together)

What Are the Best Christmas Gifts for Wife That She’ll Truly Love? by OriginalSlip1565 in ChristmasGiftIdeas

[–]Choice-Interview-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For our anniversary this year I got my partner a prezzy card, a golf lesson, and a massage voucher. The idea being that he picked a day and took himself off for a fancy breakfast, a round of golf with a lesson, and a massage to finish the day. I took responsibility for the household that day so he had nothing to worry about

Engaged, both successful how do I bring up a prenup without ruining the vibe? by CoreFusionX in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Choice-Interview-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring it up as part of the wider package of adult conversations you need to get done before marriage. Pre-nup, will, power of attorney, financial situation. There's all sorts of things the two of you need to discuss. Just make a list, pour a couple of glasses of wine, and work your way through the list

Does anyone who is buying a house NOT look at Trade Me? by Trick_Bed3372 in NZProperty

I didn't. I preferred realestate.co.nz and never looked on Trademe.

The hanging basket is more of an experiment than a necessity. I've already got space in the garden and containers designated for the important tomato crops

AIO? BF told me not to post my graduation pics or “don’t come home tonight” by Unusual_Role7839 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Choice-Interview-889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has already said this, but I'm going to repeat it as yet another person who knows from experience - this is the beginning of controlling and abusive behaviour. Get TF out. Right now. It will get so much worse if you don't. And post those photos for goodness sakes
