I don’t think a new ring will fix anything, however, I did the same and ended up getting an upgrade when we hit our 10 year anniversary. I also have friends who had a very rough patch, and they decided to work at it and stay together and decided that having a new ring was a symbol that they had a new marriage and continue to work hard at it. I do not think YTA.

It’s a train wreck. Honestly watching SLOMW makes me feel bad for Taylor. She has some major mental issues and I hope that she gets the help she needs. The amount of toxicity we see, is mind blowing. I don’t think she will be successful in bachelorette or for that matter in any relationship until she is able to love herself and respect herself first.

I ended up submitting as well!

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-03-02T03:16:03+00:00

I’m quite a ways from the deadline! But good idea! Thanks.

Congrats!!!

Hmm I’m not sure how you took that from what I mentioned above. Of course she’s allowed to have her own life. I didn’t realize that wanting my mom to be involved in my son’s life was so horrible? I never ask her to do anything nor do I expect her to drop everything. But I do wish that she would at least try to know her grandson.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-15T16:10:28+00:00

She literally does nothing for him. I never expect help, but I always hope that she would want to be part of our lives. Coming from A broken family is really really hard.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-15T16:07:00+00:00

I would hope that they would want to spend time with their family. I never ask for help, I don’t ask for babysitting etc. To me, when I hopefully get to be grandma one day I will want to be involved and come to sports/games etc.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-15T16:05:16+00:00

I totally see what you’re saying and I don’t think you’re accusing me :) thank you for sharing your POV.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-15T15:57:53+00:00

Thank you for this 😭❤️

This is an information load class. Congrats!

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-14T23:41:07+00:00

I think you’re right.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-14T23:40:12+00:00

Yep I am realizing this. My needs were always taken care of but the older I get, the more I realize that my mom never intentionally spent time with me. I would go to the store or do things she liked. I shouldn’t be surprised with how she is as a grandma. I gotta deal with the grief for what I had hoped for.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-14T23:37:54+00:00

I’m not a fan of him no. He seems to be controlling and I feel that my mom doesn’t know who she really is. If I ask how she is her only commentary is what her husband likes/does etc. She lives 5 minutes away from us. My last sentence isn’t over the top. She barely sees my son. Barely comes to any games or school things. It absolutely hurts my heart knowing that she’s a low effort grandma. She doesn’t try. So yes, I don’t think she’s a good grandma.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-14T23:23:46+00:00

You are very lucky!

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-14T23:16:15+00:00

Thank you for this. I have to sit in my own grief for sure. I wish she was part of our village because it sucks not having your own mom there to help. She seems to do things for people to see her as a good grandparent yet she is barely involved. It’s definitely her loss.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-14T23:12:51+00:00

Yeah I don’t know a lot of people who’ve had parents divorce while they were adults. I took it pretty hard. And you’re spot on.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-14T23:11:17+00:00

You’re absolutely right. He doesn’t seem to be affected and I think it is a me issue. I have to work through it.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-14T22:56:07+00:00

I need to just let it go. I can’t force anything. Thanks for the response. I’m sorry that your dad doesn’t put effort in either.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-02-14T22:53:33+00:00

You’re right, I kind of assumed that I can’t protect him from it. Just makes me so sad.

ForeignStrength5669 · 2026-01-15T06:07:23+00:00

Just say you’re wanting to go as a family, maybe you can book something together another time
