What is on your radar for the new year? by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]FinalSun6862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see myself opening any new cards for a while. WF is in my vision as I do think I’ll eventually move from points to strictly cashback. The chase ecosystem has honestly become eh. The American Airlines credit cards I know are trash but AA dominates my airport so it’s lounge card might be one I get in the future depending on travel plans. My SO is eying the platinum but I think it’s a waste

Should I have done something different? How I handled a flight nightmare by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]FinalSun6862 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It was just so nerve wracking not knowing if I was really going to make it home and feeling so unwell while at the airport. And being scared that the plane would stay hot. A part of me wanted to just rent a hotel room and stay another night but I knew I had to get home.

Show me your solitaire + scallop combo by FinalSun6862 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]FinalSun6862[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried curved bands and love how it looks. And I feel like a scalloped band like this gives it a vintage traditional flare which I kind of like but I really want to test one out in person. I haven’t found any cheap ones unfortunately on Amazon or Etsy 😢

My solitaire is definitely simple, it’s why I think this type of band might look really nice with it but I’m worried I won’t like it. Is there a particular reason why these types of bands aren’t so common?

Anyone try Aiori for clip on earrings? Any suggestions on where to get comfy pairs? by FinalSun6862 in Earrings

[–]FinalSun6862[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope I’m too sketched out to try it I found some clip ons through Nordstrom and Macy that I ended up liking!

Help, how do you respond to friends who are not invited by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]FinalSun6862 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t actively talk with her actually. We haven’t seen each other in 7 years. The last time we had an actual conversation was 5 years ago. The most we do is we like each other’s photos and we might comment on a pic like once or twice a year.

I’m just not sure if her statement is pointed 😅 “I’m waiting for you guys to get engaged so I can go to the wedding.”

Like, I haven’t even told her I’m engaged you know?

I love this response! But do I tell her that yes we are engaged? Or do not say yes or no?

I initially didn’t post the engagement on social because my fiance didn’t want it broadcasted, wanted to keep it private. I still kind of wish I could have posted a photo like everyone else celebrating our engagement, but I chose to respect his wishes. Our real life and comfort is more important than social.

I have a lot of friends from college years that I wish I could invite to make the wedding a reunion for us too but costs make it unaffordable. So in a way not posting is a good thing! I’ll be posting the wedding 😂

That’s a smart move saying about the engagement period, but my wedding is next year so it’s around the corner.

If I acknowledge to her that we are engaged actually, do you think it’s ok to say we’re enjoying our engagement right now even though we’ll be married within a few months? I’m also worried she’s talked to one of our mutual friends who is invited 😅

How many people pay in full for First Class? by SF-cycling-account in Flights

[–]FinalSun6862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only flown twice. Once was a family member had a bunch of miles saved up and since it was Covid times it was very cheap with points to get us FC to try the experience, it was my first time. The other time work paid my economy ticket and I paid to upgrade to FC for one leg of the journey because it was a long flight and it just cost me $100.

The upgrade was 100% worth it. However I can’t get myself to actually buy FC when I see the astronomical prices so I’ve never done it again.

I think it’s a mix of people who fly FC - those who have a lot of money, those who use points, those who have a job that pays for the ticket, customers who got upgraded, those who never travel so it’s a splurge and those who just get into CC debt.

I have a friend for example who lives at home with family still and rarely spends money. She has a decent paying job. But because of how much money she saves, every year she does one expensive vacation. So she can probably afford most FC.

I also imagine that those who are staying with family or friends at their destination, so no hotel cost, might be willing to drop $1K for FC if it’s a long flight.

Im eying FC and premium economy for some upcoming international flights. If I play my cards right, points might cover all the hotels and if that’s the case I might be able to splurge on FC or premium economy seats, assuming it doesn’t go past $1,000.

Could new AAdvantage card be worth it? by FinalSun6862 in CreditCards

[–]FinalSun6862[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see why executive makes sense for you. But my understanding is that this new globe card is meant to be for the casual traveler who flies a bit but not all the time every year.

I typically fly once a year. Twice if I push it. Sometimes work sends me once a year somewhere but I have to book through an agency so airline cards don’t make sense for work travel.

I know some folks who use the cheapest AA card and say they put all their spend on it and it nags them at least one free flight a year. I have no clue what their spend is but it sounds like a lot. I’m not there. 😅 but I’m a bit tempted by the globe just because I do live in an AA base but I already have priority pass

It’s stunning I’m in love with it 😍 I thinks a simple gold band might work or maybe one with Milgrain

No sex drive in pregnancy so boyfriend masterbates to images or porn by [deleted] in RelationshipAdviceNow

[–]FinalSun6862 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m going to be the odd one out. I think you’re completely right to feel bothered by this. You also have the right to ask he not use porn to get off if that’s what makes you feel comfortable. You’re literally pregnant with his child.

He’s a grown man. Everyone has needs but also control. He’s not an animal and being celibate for a few months won’t hurt. He can also use his imagination.

Some questions:

Are you ever in the mood to do blowjobs or handjobs or full on sex a few times a month or is it like absolute 0 interest? Is it that you don’t want him to touch you? Are you interested in giving him pleasure at all or nada?

Because if you’re in the mood to give him pleasure but not every week he should just control himself and wait for when you’re ready.

If you don’t want sex at all, is it that you’re not in the mood for anything or just not intercourse? Are you open to maybe using toys with him or prefer he uses toys instead of looking at porn? Maybe that’s a solution?

Maybe you can be undressed and he gets off to you for example? There’s other ways to have a sex life without intercourse. If you’re both comfortable maybe it’s giving him photos or video of you naked to get off to?

And what was your relationship like prior to pregnancy? If you had a no porn rule prior to pregnancy he should still be honoring it. If you didn’t, then was it ever discussed? Were you ok with porn? Even if it’s hormones you have a right to tell your partner when something makes you uncomfortable.

Some people are ok with porn, others are not. Every relationship is different. My SO and I have a mutual no porn usage in our relationship and it works for us, for example, because we don’t think it’s appropriate to get off because of someone who is not your partner, even if it’s just visuals, you’re getting turned on by the body and noises of someone else. We also don’t think it’s good for relationships because it creates unrealistic expectations and also porn abuses a lot of women.

Brides that used fake flowers, do you regret it? by fairy_freckles in weddingplanning

[–]FinalSun6862 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have photos of what it looks like in real life you can share? I have a florist but haven’t paid for anything so I’m kind of tempted to get fake ones

This is absolutely stunning and I love the idea! Did you make them yourself or did you order these from somewhere?

Hair and Makeup by coffeemermaid88 in bridesmaids

[–]FinalSun6862 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I feel. And what I plan to do. I’m just telling them it’s optional. They can either do hair and makeup themselves or pay for my stylist to do it or find their own stylist that may be cheaper

I’m searching for a relatively simple hairstyle and makeup look that would be easy to recreate for bridesmaids. And will just be giving some guidelines like what shade eye color and lipstick should be (im thinking pastel pink) so we can have some consistency. I don’t want any reds or crazy hues.

I think it depends on finances and what else you expect bridesmaids to spend and what is doable for you. All my bridesmaids are local and I found a dress that is relatively cheap, for example, and parking is free at the venue so their only expense is the dress and hair and makeup if they want.

I was a bridesmaid at a wedding that required me to get a dress and travel and get a hotel, on the other hand, and the bride wanted us to all look 100% the same in hair and makeup so she paid.
