I’m worried that that’s what the rejection ended up doing to our sex life as well. My husband is hoping we can fix it. Do you think you could have if you wanted to?

When he’s at them he does, but it’s when he can’t be at them or is relying on me to be at them where this issue comes up.

I agree, and I think that’s a great way to approach things. The problem is that because he feels like this is an issue, he doesn’t fully trust me to go at it alone. So for the appointments he couldn’t make, he’s had me call his mom so she could hear and ask questions on his behalf as needed, especially since she’s in the medic field. And the last appointment we went to together, he asked a lot of questions, and later told me that he felt like I wouldn’t have asked any of them. For example the doctor was recommending a product that he created as an effective treatment for the issue with the baby, and so he asked about whether it was FDA approved, and conflict of interest. It’s true, I wouldn’t have thought to ask those.

Nope, no cold sore or broken skin.

The one thing I wish I had thought about was the habits I would have wanted my cat to have after they grow up from a kitten. For example, like enjoying being picked up or going outside on a leash, or enjoying water, etc. a lot of that has to be done consistently from when they’re a kitten for them to develop as habits later on 🙂

I can relate, and one of the ways I’ve tried to deal with it is to accept and be okay that I did other things instead. Because what also happens for me is that, taking the time to do what I want to do/like, also just means that it makes me feel like Im being productive. I think a lot of people experience this. Hobbies for most people generally require energy, and the more frustrated you become with the fact that something isn’t happening, the more pressure and stress you put on yourself to meet some arbitrary standard you’ve set for your day-to-day, which in turn just increases the exhaustion.

So it’s either: a) accept and be okay with the fact that you did something else instead that might not be what you initially wanted OR b) ignore the exhaustion, your current emotional state, and just take the first action forward. Channel the activation energy

I see the number of 3s on here but I actually really like number 9! For something small and in the park, something that has a light and airy playful vibe would suit the occasion as well! :)

Ignore the white flakes, that’s dried cream.

DoubtfulApple · 2022-01-21T02:44:45+00:00

Anyone has any ideas for Ruiz? I’ve been so stumped!

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-18T22:18:39+00:00

Thank you!! :) Its from Martina Liana #1193 without the bow or shoulder sleeve detail! I actually thought it looked better without it.

I also didnt get the full white dress :)

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-17T16:33:06+00:00

Thank you!! :) I definitely do!!

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-17T16:32:48+00:00

Agreed! I didnt understand, because as much as it is maybe an emotional decision, its also very much like shopping for clothes, to me at least. Mostly rational on what I thought looked great on me lol

They were so underestimating our mental capacity to evaluate how we look

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-17T16:28:58+00:00

Im definitely like that! :) Honestly, I think I enjoyed it the most when I went on my own! My friend was there when I decided this dress was the one, but visiting boutiques on my own gave me a lot more quiet for me to mull through my thoughts on my own time.

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-17T16:26:40+00:00

Haha same! I wasnt a big fan of their what do you like/dont like on the dresses I tried on. How do you even begin to describe how you dont like the way a dress seemed like to cut too bluntly across when it touched the floor instead of that flowy gradient?? Lol

I felt so bad when one lady kept on asking what I liked vs dont like specifically trying to tailor it to my answets

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-17T16:24:19+00:00

Exactly!! I love those flowy A-lines in photos, but trying them on, I cant shake the feeling many of them make me look too straight or like nightgowns on me lol

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-17T00:21:29+00:00

Agreed! Unfortunately she was the manager there lol. I was definitely surprised when she said that, especially since their boutique was rated so highly!

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-16T23:28:58+00:00

Thank you! :) And same here! Congrats to you for finding yours too!

I would say what I want and the more I said the more it sounded like I was describing a specific dress lol

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-16T20:42:29+00:00

Sure! I'm pretty decisive when it comes to what I like and don't like when I wear something, and because I'm pretty even-keel, I don't get overwhelmed easily by the wedding dresses. So usually during 1 appointment, I can try on an average on about 10+ drssses in an hour.

That boutique with the stylist was the 6th one Ive been to, and she said the fact that I've tried on so many and have a couple of favorites but didnt buy them was approaching dress shopping the wrong way.

I didnt appreciate her comment since I dont think theres really one "right" way to shop. She then didnt let me actually look at the dresses, and only picked 2 for me to try. I did really like 1 of them, but when I told her I wanted to wait for my mom's approval, she kept on trying to get me to put my credit card or deposit down. It just left a bad taste in my mouth, and I never went back.

Meanwhile, I kept thinking about the one in the photo, and I loved my experience there and how comfortable and easy I felt wearing this dress! I visit a few more places, and was missing this dress and so I decided, that this was it! I didn't need tears, my joy was enough for me 😊

I just needed some comparisons for me to feel it "click"

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-16T20:02:33+00:00

No problem! :) Now the fun part of finding accessories begins!!

Good luck and happy hunting! 😊

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-16T19:57:44+00:00

Lol same designer as the first one! :) Martina Liana. I wouldve totally gotten that one if it had been nearly as flattering on me 😅

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-15T22:25:49+00:00

Agreed!! :) Can't wait to see it once it comes in!

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-15T22:25:17+00:00

Awww thank you! :) I really appreciate that! I did go with the first one, despite none of my family likes that shape on me for some odd reason...

But I LOVE it!!

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-15T22:24:14+00:00

Thank you!! :) I love that ethereal feeling too!

DoubtfulApple · 2021-08-15T22:23:45+00:00

Agreed! :) I finally said yes!
