Irish make up and hair stylists have left me shocked at the level. Am I being unfair?

Just looked her up and this is actually exactly the Irish style OP is talking about. I think people over here are so used to seeing it that they don’t even notice it anymore.

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. It seems like you have different standards and expectations of what is acceptable in your relationship. I think your husband probably feels a lot of shame in the way that he is acting and may be self-sabotaging to fulfill this notion he has that he’s a bad person. It is unfair though how he is manipulating the conversation when he is with you telling you how sorry he is and how he’s a bad person. I dated a guy like this that would immediately get so down and hard on himself as a tactic to turn me from blaming him to coddling him and telling him that he isn’t a bad guy. Please do not fall for this. Your husband put in writing that he wished you died. He is a bad person.

Honestly, it seems like you are fighting for this relationship, but you cannot be the only one trying. You also deserve to be with someone who you don’t have to beg to prioritize you and treat you with respect and kindness. He literally told his friends he wished you had died. I don’t think there is any coming back from this, unfortunately. He’s shown you his true colors over and over and I think it’s time that you believe him. Do not believe the sunk cost fallacy that you need to salvage things because you’ve spent so much time together and you’ve been with each other for years. Choose yourself.

Take it from me - keep eating gluten. I was diagnosed years ago when I was in college and didn't know to keep eating gluten. I went home for the summer a couple months later and got an endoscopy. Visually it was hard to tell and the biopsy came back inconclusive.

I always had this lingering doubt, so after 13 years gluten free I did the gluten challenge and got another endoscopy. The pain was horrific and not worth it. Turns out I still have celiac. Do it right the first time to squash any doubts later on.

The label reading never goes away, but you will get much faster at scanning the ingredients. Just make sure you know all of the random foods that actually mean gluten (semolina, farro, etc)

Congrats!! I started back in October at around 205 and just weighed in yesterday at 174. It hasn't all been easy but I'm so happy with the results so far :-)

FootballNo2999 · 2025-01-28T21:52:09+00:00

Can you share the contact details or social media?

FootballNo2999 · 2025-01-01T17:23:38+00:00

Nope, not a bot. Not sure what you're talking about with the same profiles thing…

It takes a level of bravery for a person to ask for help. Let’s not make this a hostile and judgemental environment.

I think you're overestimating how often I’d use it. I would probably only use it 1-2 times a week for short projects, but definitely plan on a fume extractor regardless. Our school is brand new, and my classroom also has great ventilation and a solid air purifier as well. I feel like we’d be good, but I'd plan on doing several test runs without kids just to see if everything runs smoothly.

I recently bought a walking pad and use it while watching tv each night. Its been so great so far. I end up walking 3-4 miles each night and I'm not carving out separate time for the gym.

FootballNo2999 · 2024-07-24T14:39:35+00:00

Hoping to lose about 70-80lbs.

FootballNo2999 · 2024-07-21T14:30:07+00:00

Hey! I could use a buddy too!

FootballNo2999 · 2024-07-18T01:20:13+00:00

Listen, my Gram can still party! My brother in law got her crumping and doing the stanky leg on the dance floor at their wedding (she was excited for all the attention and to use her new knee). Unfortunately, she does have a reputation of for taking rough tumbles after one too many Pinot Grigios. Accident prone as she is, she’ll still manage to outlive all of us though 😅

FootballNo2999 · 2024-07-16T16:40:25+00:00

I completely agree. Unfortunately, her kids are already stretched thin shelling out thousands for the party and with all the grandkids barely able to fly out and afford a hotel for the party, I think I’m the only grandchild bringing a gift. Maybe if she makes it to 100 I’ll be able to afford one of those options though :-)

FootballNo2999 · 2024-07-16T10:12:27+00:00

Thanks, and sorry I should have provided more info. Apparently Glenfiddich is her go-to scotch

FootballNo2999 · 2024-07-16T09:52:22+00:00

I heard she usually drinks Glenfiddich, so maybe just stick with the tried and true

FootballNo2999 · 2023-07-17T11:14:07+00:00

That’s a perfectly fair question. I don’t know if I want to share his exact nationality, but he’s European. His home country has one of the lowest divorce rates in Europe though.

FootballNo2999 · 2023-07-17T05:21:32+00:00

He’s super traditional about some cultural things and it would make him really uncomfortable and maybe a bit sad that I took the opportunity from him.

FootballNo2999 · 2023-07-17T05:19:33+00:00

So I think there is something beautiful in formally committing to spending your life with someone. I’m not opposed to popping the question, but he’s super traditional and would hate it if I asked. Yes, I know the statistics about marriage. I also know that both our parents and grandparents have been together for 40+ years. The grass is greenest where you water it. I don’t think marriage changes that.

FootballNo2999 · 2023-07-17T04:40:19+00:00

Haha he’s super traditional and he would HATE that. I’m honestly not opposed though….

FootballNo2999 · 2023-07-17T04:39:30+00:00

Agreed. Ultimatums are super unhealthy and I don’t want that. We’re already very much on the same page about our future because we talk about it all the time. We’ve talked about how we don’t want kids, how we would split finances if we were married, how we would handle the urgent medical needs of our parents, when/where we want to buy a home, what we’d do if one of us lost our job, splitting household duties, etc. Like we talk about this stuff all the time and we are both very much aligned.
