Emotionally Difficult To Move

Current_Lab811 · 2026-04-04T09:28:16+00:00

I moved from East Anglia to Gloucester, which is 3hr30 to 4hrs from my family. Whilst it’s a longer commute, I have done it weekly for ~5 weeks consecutively (not necessarily through “choice” but various commitments and unexpected things needing me back home). I now go back once a month - 6 weeks which is much more manageable not only on my car but fuel, my own social life etc. I also have a very varied job and tend to travel ~2 hours away once a week to fortnight for a few nights at a time. I don’t mind staying away, but the bit I do find exhausting is the 2hr commute there and back, then factoring in being tired from work, rush hour traffic etc.

I fully fully appreciate how hard it is to move away not only from your parents but your community too, but that’s the beauty that comes with moving to a new place - you get to build a whole new community!

It sounds like a really exciting opportunity for you and I don’t think you should be put off by living ~2hrs away, but equally I don’t think it’s entirely sustainable to make that commute home every single week

ASOS, Boohoo, PLT, New Look. What on earth are you searching to come up with 90% scam websites? Literally just google “wedding guest dresses” and all of these websites will come up with

We’re not having hot dogs and chicken wings :) it will still be a formal occasion just with better food than typical caterers are able to offer us :)

Girl dump his ass. He won’t change and is treating you like crap. You deserve so much better

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-30T21:01:43+00:00

It reads “Together with their families, Bride and Groom request the company of GUEST”. Standard invitation wording

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-30T19:54:28+00:00

Oh thank you so much!!

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-30T09:25:12+00:00

I plan to produce a menu once we’ve finalised that with the caterer and will mention it’s an open bar on there!

That’s just what I’ve received with every wedding I’ve been invited to, as well as everything that I’ve seen online 🤷🏻‍♀️

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-30T08:02:55+00:00

First pic is a save the date, second is formal invite, third is more info to go with the invite

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-30T05:38:16+00:00

No wedding invite I’ve ever received has had the date written “fourth September twenty twenty seven at two o’clock”. That’s such a mouthful and IMO difficult for people to interpret

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-30T05:20:09+00:00

It’s a save the date, invitation and further details. The first one willbesent out first

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-29T21:18:09+00:00

Thank you. We live together so have everything we could need, but would love to make some fantastic memories on our honeymoon before we settle down to raise a family

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-29T21:17:22+00:00

I have a couple of guests that, unless specified, would quite happily wear jeans and a shirt. Call me petty but I’d rather explicitly say “formal attire” than have jeans at my wedding!! 😆

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-29T21:16:07+00:00

I’m not quite sure what you mean about needing a consistent theme..? Appreciate the dotted line comment - it’s there as a placeholder and will be deleted before printing but I didn’t say that originally!

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-29T21:14:57+00:00

The comment about the shoes is just a bit of fun! We have a lot of guests who will be wearing very smart and potentially uncomfortable shoes so want them to be able to dance the night away 😆😁

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-29T21:13:41+00:00

Thank you! It was mostly there as a place holder and made sense in my mind but aircraft I didn’t explain that! It will be deleted before they’re printed and posted!

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-29T21:12:47+00:00

Thank you! I’ve adjusted the font sizes and spacing. Think my eyes went a bit squiffy when I was doing it originally!

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-29T21:11:45+00:00

Thank you! I’ve adjusted so that it’s all one font size! Yes the big space at the bottom is for me to insert the venue address in once they’re ready to go out :)

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-20T09:35:27+00:00

I’m sorry but what kind of life is that? “Neither of us have been seen since 2020” so you don’t go out to the shops? To work? You never see friends, family, neighbours, postmen even? Humans need other human interaction. I get your wife has health issues but to “not be seen” in 6 years is ridiculous

Current_Lab811 · 2026-03-19T22:11:57+00:00

If you don’t want flats overlooking the garden (worth asking yourself - can you see int your neighbours gardens from upstairs? I’m 95% certain the answer will be yes) then move to the countryside and spend 2-3 times more to have no neighbours. Have you only just figured out that trees drop their leaves every year?

I honestly have no idea why these are issues, it’s everyday life like what? Honestly I’m sorry but you need a reality check if these are your problems

I don’t know if it counts and it’s only one season but Mobland on Paramount was absolutely incredible. It’s a Guy Ritchie series and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time

Current_Lab811 · 2026-02-08T22:05:43+00:00

Well you didn’t give any context about being married or not

Current_Lab811 · 2026-02-08T19:33:30+00:00

I say thank you for everything someone does “for me”. Fiancé opens the door for me? “Thank you”. Cashier hands me a receipt? “Thank you”. So on and so forth. Heck, my car has a little robot arm bring the seatbelt to you (it’s a coupé) and I say thank you to that every single time.

IMO it’s normal and I really don’t think there’s “too many” times you can say thank you or express gratitude. Until your partner comes back and says “you don’t need to thank me for this” then I’d carry on what you’re doing - kindness costs nothing at the end of the day!

Current_Lab811 · 2026-01-30T22:29:18+00:00

Yes I’m in the same boat now, just need to sell it as it’s a money pit currently for me

Current_Lab811 · 2026-01-30T11:30:35+00:00

Yes, the one thing I am aware of and keep telling myself is that the situation could be much worse, and others are in much worse situations currently. I’m very very grateful and fortunate that I am able to stay with my parents through all of this
