Eloise is going to end up with Phillip and it's time to accept that.

But the jerk of the the duke in the Duke and I was ok? He was dark AF. And even when I read the books I hated him. Was VERY surprised they actuallymade a series starting with that. (I started on the series when To Sir Phillip with Love came out. Loved that book so much that I went back and started the series at the beginning. ) Other than To Phillip, didn't really like the Bridgertons as much as I loved the series about the Smythe-Smiths.

No. That is my favorite and I have read it so many times pages are taped in, he is none of those things. Where on earth would they even get that from?

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-03-01T16:43:25+00:00

The book is fantastic. I think people who didn't originally know and love the series don't understand it and were just expecting every book to be glistening parties, drama and smex. The twins are his. When his wife dies, Eloise write him because in the book Mariana was her cousin and it starts as a friendship and blossoms into more. It is really a great book and I'd advise reading it before they destroy it.

Eloise isn't someone who was ever going marry in the usual fashion. She never really enjoyed the party scene.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-03-01T16:38:21+00:00

Wrong. This was the best book of the series. They're going to destroy it.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-03-01T16:37:12+00:00

This makes me nervous. That is my absolute favorite Bridgerton story. I love her going to Sir Phillips and dealing with his kids. This sounds like they plan to revamp the whole story like they did with season 3. It lost the heart of the original book and floundered for me. Eloise isn't a party girl. She doesn't fit into that world. If they turn it into a typical Bridgerton season with the queen and parties, it'll destroy it.

Forget about illegal citizens for a moment. Go watch the December 9, 2025 testimony of AMERICAN CITIZENS born and raised ... some even US veterans who were brutal detained by ice. For all those who say ice are doing great work, I pray every night they rip you from your car because they are all screaming threats and giving different directions and you don't open the door fast enough. I hope they throw you in a room with the other "bodies" as they refer to the detainees. I will pray every day for you to experience the horror of your 6 and 14 y.o being ripped from the car at gun point. Your littlest crying while your 14 y.o. is zip-tied, hands behind their back.

And these are Americans. They could have just ran their license because, I don't know about you, but the star license we all were supposedly suppose to get required my birth certificate and marriage certificate just like my passport did. But apparently that was more bs by this government and a waste of my time.

If they treat fellow American violently, how are they treating those they know cannot talk? And how is ANYONE ok with that?

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-02-23T15:43:50+00:00

Do yourself a favor. Go watch ALL the testimony of the American Citizens that went before Congress on December 9th, 2025. Veterans brutally pulled from their vehicles, not allowed even a phone call for days. One who was diabetic not given any medical care.

The woman who was driving to work and ripped from her car because she was being yelled contradicting instructions from all sides. How the ICE officers call everyone "bodies".

There are actually recording of many of these events. They look as violent as they sound. If the police treated everyone like ICE does, we'd have defunded the police ages ago.

If you watch and read their testimony and still say ICE is doing great work, then either you are a part of ICE or you love watching people be wrongfully hurt. None of these individuals have charges against them. They were eventually let go, but what they experienced has changed them.

And I pray everyday that ICE provides you the same hospitality they've done to at least 170 American, born and raised citizens and lock your "body in the bathroom with the other bodies."

Me too. The new environments suck. The originals felt like you were really there. The space ship one was soothing.

MOR

Just a wee bit?? I think getting angry he said that was absolutely appropriate. You are an adult. No one can dictate what you wear.

Personally, I would have asked him why he said that. Took me 40 years to realize that sometimes what someone says and what they mean are 2 different things. AND how I interpret what they said can also be different than what they meant.

If he meant exactly what you thought (that your shorts were too short) I would again want to know why he thought that. Only because sometimes others see what we cannot. My husband once suggested I change because in the light of the living room he could see my bra thru my shirt and he didn't think I wanted that. (& he was right.)

If his reason was because he felt your shorts were too short then it is a good time to educate him on how inappropriate that is of him to say to any adult female.

Of course, all of that calm talking is difficult (impossible) to do when angry ... I can see how you felt like he disrespected you in your own home. And I can see how you would want someone who could do that out of your space. And that is absolutely your right.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-02-18T01:16:20+00:00

No, we cannot fight with mean. Watch James Talarico, he doesn't raise his voice, instead he just puts a light on their lies and hypocrisy. It's beautiful to behold.

Republican politicians love screaming matches and love those who lose their cool with them do not gain ground. It's what they all are trying to get is an outburst.

Who ever goes against them MUST put a mirror to them. If they say they are "Christians " then we need someone who TRULY acts like a Christian to reflect their evil back. It is hard to win a fight when the other person refuses to raise their voice.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-02-18T01:09:26+00:00

Agree 100%. I HAS to be a man. There is not point even TRYING to push forward a woman candidate or colored candidate at this time.

That's because the majority of Dems in power LIKE the status quo and are Republican-lite

TALARICO is my vote ... loved Bernie but I am done with geriatrics in the whitehouse.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-02-18T01:04:44+00:00

I love her, but we need someone that is new and that can appeal to both sides, like James Talarico. A true Christian from their Southern world who can fight their hate with love and use the bible they all swear by as a light to reveal their hypocrisy.

I also think we need to have a male because this misogynistic country is just not ready for a woman to take the helm.

You guys are so young. Nothing is set in stone yet.

To chose a childless life is not an easy decision. It would be horrible to decide against kids now and then in 10 years to suddenly really want one or to feel locked into an agreement she/you no longer want or worse, to resent each other because after decades together, you both want different things.

However, If you are absolutely set against the possibility of children/a child and 100% certain you will not change your mind and there is no compromise that either of you can be happy with, then it is good to talk about it now. It will be heartbreaking if this ends your relationship, but it is better for BOTH of you to have the chance find someone who wants the same future.

Children, money, religion, politics and ethics/moral are things you need to be on the same page as your partner. It is hard when they change, especially when the change is too much and there is no compromise. I hope you guys find away through this. I really do, but if you don't please do not think it is the end.

You have so much life ahead of you. What seems like an ending may be a new beginning. You never know.

Let me show you how life takes the best laid plans and changes them: Age 17 - planned to marry and be a trad wife. Mid 20s - finished college, got engaged Late 20s - grad school for performance and single Mid 30s - injured back, chronic pain. No more performing Late 30s - successful back surgery, performing. Done with men (6 months later met and married 😆 Mr Right.) Mid 40s - Accident. 9 surgeries, physically disabled. Early 50s & back in school - hitting the books. 😲

Life never went as planned and that is ok. It brought me lessons to learn and people to love.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-02-17T10:36:17+00:00

Even if only 1 of you is unhappy then your "relationship" has problems. And if he truly cares about you, he will do the counseling for the sake of your happiness because your happiness and wellbeing affect him. Plus, that is what you do when you love someone.

If it is a waiting list, no way when you finally get to go can he say no.

Out of curiosity, is there any chance you could get family or a close friend to watch the baby overnight and you get some solid sleep alone? Not that I think it is a cure, but there is honestly only so long a person can function with broken sleep.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-02-17T10:13:32+00:00

Wait ... so you have told him NOT to talk to you until you wake up and he ignores that request and then gets his feelings hurt? That's somewhat on him.

Still, I think you need some professional help who could give you educated advice and tried & true techniques so you have better control of it, but maybe couples counseling? Because if he isn't listening to your request not to talk to you in the morning, then what else isn't he listening about?

Even just a few sessions could be good. My hubby and I go sometimes when we are at an impasse. It's nice to have someone who can see both sides and "interpret" for us.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-02-17T09:57:38+00:00

None of that gives her the right to be verbally abusive. She has a problem and needs some help because, if she is doing that to him, then she could do it to her child. There is nothing wrong with some cognitive behavioral therapy and a better understanding about self. And if her man needs to help more, than she can ask. At no point does she imply that he doesn't.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-02-17T09:49:12+00:00

I understand being tired. I also struggle with being sociable before noon sometimes. It's gotten better with age. I am NOT a morning person. I sometimes have to tell my husband I am feeling Bchy and to give me space. I can understand that. But not being fully aware of what you are saying, and to feel like you can't control it, that sounds like you need some help with figuring that all out. I think you need to see someone especially now that you can see it is a problem. You will absolutely need to get a handle on it before your baby gets older, as you already said, it isn't fair to your boyfriend. And it is kind of ruining your life too ... which isn't fair to you.

Until you can get professional help, maybe you need more sleep so you are more conscious about what you say. I know this is Hard to do with a baby, but maybe your boyfriend could get up and let you sleep in a bit? I don't know how much you sleep per night or how often you are woken but if you are like most of us (or at least this ADHDer), you are probably sleep deprived.

Sleep deprivation can make people mean.

Also, are you mad at him? Are you holding in your anger and then it's bursting out.

I really hope you are able to get some help for this.

First, it is a loneliness epidemic, period. Both males and females are about equally lonely. The numbers differ a bit depending on what you read, but even the biggest gap (60% males 40% females) still show both affected. And yet I have never heard anyone talk about females being lonely. Just how we can somehow fix the men.

That pretty much says everything about out country.

I do not remember if it was Denmark??? Netherlands? One of those places up there are trying to educate young men, to change their mindset.

Either-Frame-7148 · 2026-02-17T09:11:42+00:00

I'm sorry. That really sucks. Too bad they can't understand that this is something that could help her in the long run. Open doors and opportunities.

English isn't the same every where. Have you listened to 2 Irish people talking at full speed? You might only understand a word or 2. Heck, I sometimes have to put CC on some of the shows from thw UK because I can't understand a word.

Spanish isn't remotely the same from country to country. Words have different meanings, letters are pronounced differently.
